My Kat hits the rev limiter pretty quick due in part to the modifications made by the first owner. They include dual cold air intakes, Paxton headers, X pipe, Borla exhaust and Pro Gears. My car is a 2000.

While on a recent trip to South Carolina I had the misfortune of running out of gas.
Upon getting fuel in the tank, the guy that brought it to me waited around to be sure I got "down the road OK" so when leaving I stomped on it hard enough that the rev limiter did it's job (Initially I thought the fuel line was not full and the sputtering was due to insufficient fuel delivery later I figured out it was the limiter)
I proceeded to go through the gears manually of course then let off when I got up to speed(about 15 seconds later at the most).

It wasn't until a while later when I was looking at the GPS and saw my maximum speed was showing 105 mph.
I thought it was an error until I remembered my earlier acceleration and counted my blessings that there was not anyone around that may have been happy to slow me down.

Man, you ought to see some of the rides that go here and the $ spent on them!! They had a show similar to this in June.....what a turn out! The drag-strip is off of Rt95 @ Rt272 North....3 miles north or so.

When I get home sometime this week, I'll send you guys a copy of the flyer with all the details. It would be great to meet some of you guys from Maryland. We can please the crowd with a couple of Prowlers going against each other down the strip! Be cool to see a bunch of Prowlers there! I'm only 70 minutes from Baltimore.....if you and some other guys want to come up some weekend, we can run the rolling hills of Lancaster County, PA. Be more than happy to show you the area if you're not already familiar with it.

Dad, I didn't think you would still be up this late. LOL
Just don't show this to Mom......PLEASE, she still thinks I am a good driver...

Gary, I was thinking about going to 75&80 in Monrovia MD now that it has re-opened and it is only about twenty minutes from my house, maybe thirty if I obey the posted limits and get all the lights green (both of them).
I would however be in for a get together at the Cecil track if a few of us were up for it.

Remember SILVER is the faster Color when it comes to Prowler's

I thought that was what the SSS in your screen name stood for.

Super Slow Sucker, or was it Sucker's Super Slow?

We can't all have those Purple Slug's.

I won't rag on your Mulholland today.

Ok Andria I almost let this slip by. How did you run out of gas? Are you having trouble with your gage or were you having to much fun?

As far as 75 & 80 I did not know they reopened. So are you having ECP party at your house since it's close?

Regarding the Gas, The smile on my face must have been in the way! Actually the gauge read below 1/4 but above 1/8 and the low fuel light had not come on. That is not until after I was sitting on the side of the road for a few minutes, I had gone 254 miles on that tank of gas, not bad for 70 MPH and Gears huh.
