Diablo Sport Predator / Modifications vs. Autobahn (PART ONE)

11 APRIL 2009


  • Here is the second part of my Diablo Sport Predator / Modifications v.s Autobahn. Yesterday I installed the 93 octane CAI Performance tune. Set all the Rev/RPM limits to 6000 RPM / Neutral is set to 4000 RPM. Shift Firmness Increased

  • It is safe to say I killed everything on the Autobahn today. I had pulled over to mount my Radar Detector before reaching the autobahn. While the wife and I was on the side of the road a 350Z passed us. Oddly enough he was sitting at the top of the on ramp when we got there (Why?) So I whipped it down the ramp and watched in the rear view mirror and noticed he pulled out behind my wife in her R/T R&T. For whatever reason anyhow I celled the wife and asked her if she noticed him, I told her "what ever" I'm gonna blow him away...do you know how to get to IKEA...in case she fell to far behind...so....We're finally on the autobahn cruising to get through traffic, then Bam!! it's open ZOOMA ZOOM ZOOM. I'm off like a cat with its tail on fire. I'm watching this guy in my mirror, I'm like come on man keep up! we hit some more traffic he catches up, then Bam!! it's open....No way in hell this guy can keep up, I'm so far away it bores me. KILL. Also some Beemer dude thought he was fast at 140...he he he....


  • So, today's objective is to see 1. If the Diablo killed the speed limiter of my previous top speed of 140 mph. 2. See if I can pull away from everything on the autobahn. Many Bugs were Killed in the Making of this thread......May They Rest In Peace.

So will an 08 R/T R&T Break the 140 mark? Will it make it to 150..155..160?
We Shall See......


1. She thinks She's Hot....sitting all cool.....Behind me!!..lol



2. We're off to the Autobahn....



3. She won't be able to keep up....snicker




4. Well Looky Here we have ourselves some Autobahn Vroom Vroom!!



5. Awww shucks ain't that cute 90 mph....



6. Look Ma! I'm goin 135 mph Weeeeee....





Interlude......Do you know how hard it is to drive with one hand and hold a friggin Camera?!!?

7. Wait? Why is She in front of Me???



8. I don't think so young lady!!



9. Well Look At That I Broke 140 mph at 145 Mph..But wait!!



10. Hold on to your seat .......150 Mph!!



11. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!



12. Wait wait...Why is she in front of me? Where this pic come from?




13. Open Road aaah Here we come!!! We'll be truckin down the road when she's a comin a we'll be truckin down the road....? where that song come from?



13. BAM!!!



14. Hold on......BAM 160 mph.



15. I don't think that needle is going any further....



:rocker: Well there you have it, the Diablo Fixed the 140mph issue and sent this car off to 160mph. I want to say I'd top that after I get some Z rated tires and install the Eibach Pro street kit. The car tightens up real good at top speeds. I noticed while tailing the wife the rear bumper underneath between the tail pipes flutters back and forth at top end.

My wife was mad because with the Tune and Intake(?) I blew her away.:biggrinjester:

** I also want to add the car shifts when ever it wants to.. I was having to much fun to figure it out. All I can say is after the tune whoooosh it rips like crazy
wow that must be a blast i would love to get on there
It's great! I'd never be able to do this in the states, unless I was somewhere in the Midwest in no mans land.
holy cow... the most I've hit is 150 or so, and then I ran out of road... :slap: be safe - speed racer:bigthumb:
lol, Well I'm lucky. The Germans built these roads for speed. Banking is smooth, corners flow well and the Typical German drives 90-100+mph. You can find a good 2-3 mile straight road no problem.

They talked about imposing speed limits on the autobahn and the Germans freaked out.

I also don't think I have enough high end torque/hp to push it past 160, and or the non-speed rated tires.

But for the knowledge of the forum the Predator works and the 5.7L will do 160 for now...:biggrinjester:
Nice- good to know!:beerchug:
I figured it was possible-- I could feel it pulling still 20mph lower than that-- and that was before the supercharger.:D

Enjoy and of course KEEP ALL 4 ON THE ROAD:rocker:
I wish I had a super charger...hmm take yours off and mail it to me, let me borrow it...:D

I am impressed with how well it handled, the steering and stock suspension stiffened/tightened up nicely.

With the new tune the transmission is a bit smoother and appears to respond faster.

The sad part is I have nothing to compare to, no one to race. Next Sunday in Zandvoort Holland I'll get to run the track. 1/4 mile we'll see how that one goes if I don't screw it up..

:beerchug:
SWEET!! Would love to get a shot at the autobahn!

I agree with you- I was really impressed with the suspension at plus 120- car just buttons down- I was passing a Porsche Cayman at the time:D I don't have the autobahn but I have been able to experiment a bit on the desolate desert highways:cowsmile:
I loved the difference the Predator made- it unleashed the car altogether.

You would love a supercharger as well- just send me the address and I'll send it right out for a week or so:biggrinjester: LOL
Sweetness indeed... be safe :)
haha u R/T guys... i live in the U.S. in florida, i hit 174 before the limiter stopped me now im trying to invest in the predator to make sure nothing holds me back, nice job grave digger best of luck, wish i could hit the autobahn with you!
They use to close the Highway someplace in Nevada for racers to go as fast as they could in a mile...To bad they stopped that program. I think they were aiming for the 200mph club.
That is so cool, I need to get that predator soon! I got it to 140, but now i feel the need to go 160 all of a sudden!:driving: :biggrinjester:
Wow Gravedigger it must have been a thrill driving at top speed now i most definitely have to purchase a predator.
lol, I love it. I do the same thing all the time. I believe the fastest I got so far was 164mph before I had to slow do very quickly (locked up tires tryin to slow down, opps!). But it definently had more to give. Got to love these roads and the Left Lane.

Next time, you should go waste some Euro on the V-Power from Shell Gas Station, it's 100 euro octane (about 98 U.S. octane). It costed me 78 Euro to fill up last time I filled up near K-town.
Wow Gravedigger it must have been a thrill driving at top speed now i most definitely have to purchase a predator.
Yeah, but you really gotta have some open road. I have Drilled rotors which stop the car better and safer than factory rotors. Never do it on crappy brakes.

Its a heart beat to cover 2-3 miles. PLUS. Your going to Jail if you get caught. Not the same over here. lol, What do you say to a judge when he asks why you were doing 95mph over the speed limit..."What? You mean warp speed is illegal? What?"

:rocker:
Hehehe, very cool hitting that speed. Feels freakin' awesome to keep it up in that neighborhood for miles on end, doesn't it? What kind of mpg did/do you get?
Awesome..... too bad you could'nt come to Holland in April
I coul'd have given you a good run in the SRT-4 upto 165 mph :D

would have loved to see the outcome!

Oh and i thought i was brave in the neon, but my buddy with a GT3076 turbo and a custom 5th gearing on his SRT-4 put 195mph on the dash once!! can u believe how scary that is in a neon :notallthere:
Sehr schöne Bilder von der Deutschen Autobahn bei Top Speed,
ich werde das auch bald ausprobieren !
