VGVL Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Yesterday I hit 175km/h on the way to School. I was a bit disappointed because I was only 5km/h away from doing 3 times the speed limit. I might have been able to pull it off but there was traffic and a sharp turn ahead. The road wasn't great either.I guess I'll have to try again. :p 586600327[/snapback] Today I got a chance to drive on that road (at law abiding speeds no less) and found that I was wrong about the speed limit. I thought it was 60km/h when it really is 50km/h, so I actually went 3.5 times the speed limit. For you guys with the weird non-metric system, its roughly 108mph on a 30mph road.

Jediweasel Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 In 1988 I had a 1983 Shelby Charger that had been modified with Direct-Connection parts and tweaked by myself and a mechanic. I took it from Columbia to Jefferson City in Missouri (29 Miles) with a top speed of 127mph and an average speed of 95mph. Pretty quick trip. In 1989, I raced a 944 turbo in my 1978 280z and passed him by at 140mph and kept going. I had a fun childhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGSPro Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 in my mustang Ive hit the governer at 120. When I do my long drive to sandiego on weekends to go see the girl away at college im on I15 late at night (1-3am) and max out at 120 pretty much most of the way. I have my radar detector, and have never past a cop, or even seen one. But I have hit 145 in my friends raced out prelude late at night. Kinda sad that the 4 banger can waste my v6 stang in terms of max speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PixilEyes Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 One day I ran into batman. He was like hello there Dustin, care to go for a ride. So we were cruzing pickin up some gals, pulled a few grand theft auto scaniros and then he let me hit the Red button. We got up to 50 mph!!!!!! :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IK47 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Never really went past 150mph in any of our cars - and that was maybe for a minute at most. The girlfriend's NSX is still the most fun to speed in, imho, due to its smallish peppy engine. It feels like you're going much faster than you really are :)The mighty Gallardo recently suffered a small, albeit nasty, dent in its hood due to flying road debris from going ~100mph down a freshly paved highway near a lot of trucks. That's going to look really good for me when the lease is up :/ In all, I rarely ever drive past 100 on a regular basis. I do enjoy having my license. 586600678[/snapback] There is a guy on my street with a Gallardo, SL, and once had a yellow NSX on his driveway. Can I come over? Please?

cork1958 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 My 1965 Olds Cutlass F-85 has topped out at 153MPH here at the local dragstrip twice. We don't do that stupid sh** anymore though!! Believe it or not, it's not souped up with anything other than dual Holley Quadrajunk carbs, electronic ignition and a mild cam. I have had the car since 1983 and it still only has 69,000+ original miles on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byter Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 How are you guys driving above the maximum speed for your cars according to their specs? The car that I drive in is electronically limited to 150 mph :/ Never driven that fast of course. 586601318[/snapback] Simple Hypertech tuner and /or chip allows you to bypass the top speed regulator. :) btw Camaro is 167 mph :) without a chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
