i did 190km.hr on the clock so add at least 10% to that for the bigger wheels and stuff in my ej22 l-series, yes it had a 3inch lift and 27s with no sway bars hahahaha

didnt have the balls to do it when i was running ej turbo, but it would have got there much much quicker :)

this was at my grandparents house in rural western australia.
my07 Outback
my13 Hyundai i45(shhhh)
my02 Gen3 Liberty limited ed.

previously
L-series wagon, LSD, EJ20turbo, 29in tyres, 'wanky wagon'
2000 gen3 outback, lifted, otherwise stock.

Alex probably did more than once in old Wanky Wagon :)

That's an awesome achievement to have the record standing for so long.
Gotta love the 80s!

I think it would be cheaper to hire a C130... get a stock sherpa and drop it from around 35000 feet that way it would be sure to reach 120 miles an hour

I don't have the legs for shorts like that:)

that was my red one. it must of had a better engine that the white one (or the drift wing created so much drag/downforce that slowed it down :-P)
