At max speed, you can still solicit a hooker!

 :laugh:
That would be for a Quickie!!! :-X

100+
Year/Vehicle: 1993 SWB Tracker
Engine: 2.7 V6
5 speed automatic
Tire Size: 30X9.50X15


Gearing: 5.125:1
At 90 it is just feeling good, another tick on the throttle and it just jumps to 100 on GPS.  No idea what top speed is, but it can get to 100 a hurry, and with the mufflers I have everyone in area knows.

Sweet.

 Mine is just fast enough to NOT get pulled over in an active school zone for impeding traffic.  :laugh:   Clutch is about gone.   :'(

stock 86 Sami with Super Swampers and 50 mph is as fast as I go. Never on interstate, only 4 lane HWY. Prefer just around town but will hit a 4 lane if I need to.....

I know a guy with a 92 with street tires and he says he goes 80+ on the interstate but NO THANKS!
86 Sami STOCK!! but I just got started.

Well, after reading all these posts I had to go for a drive...  got to 100 no problems, lots of throttle left but didn't feel like a ticket and didn't have my fuzz buster so i calmed down after that.  I was surprised by how solid it felt at that speed, got pretty loud and I forgot to look at the tach.  I drive from Dallas to Portland everyday at 80 no problems but I am turning 3600 at that speed with the low axle gears, I think I want to try 4.88's next.

1993 4 door sidekick
4.0 liter v6 out of a 2007 FJ, 6 speed manual, 2 toyota transfer cases
315-75r16 (35x12.5) KM2's
5.71 gears in toyota axles

My 0-60 time is pretty lame because of all the shifting that has to happen, I think 60 can happen in 3rd.  I heard there is an app I can get for my wife's iPhone that will record 0 - 60 times and G's and some other things, if I can find that I'll post up the times.

I can't believe someone used the words Fast and Sammy in the same sentence! My 1997 Sidekick Sport with the 1.8 is slow and my Sami is even slower! :'(

It's all reletive, fast for a Sammy or Trackick is kinda run of the mill Jap econobox power, compared just about anything else this side of a Prius running on pure electric.  ;D

I hit 90M.P.H. once in my sammy. Not recommended.

This was when I had the 4-1 case in my little sammy. I think it might hit 75 now at red line.

It would be a fun trip to the strip!!!

It really was pretty stable. Flat strech of higway with no traffic. I didn't ever attempt it again though. Probably took 5 years of life off the engine.
