blondes

what can you do?
Got mine up to around 105 MPH but was taking my cousin home on the freeway and my exit was coming up. Kinda funny cause the seal around my light was a little screwed up and it was falpping like crazy. Im sure I had a bit more to go though in 5th
135mph. In my suprie =Þ

Lined up against a C5 and pontiac firebird(I think.)

Looked at my thingy and my god i was going 135!! the C5 was ahead of me bout 1 and 1/2 car length(prolly going 150) and the pontiac slowly passed me(beatin me by almost a half car length. Prolly going bout 140)). This was on the streets one night where the runs pop everywhere. It was a really really exciting night for me.

130 on farm road to Dallas
Did 105 in my ST, no governor but it sure didn't want to go much faster and too many cars so I had to slow down. Too many police on that highway, too. I got a ticket there going much slower. I got 3 tickets last year so can't try that stuff anymore.
I kno i hit 120. problem is ive only got a 120 mph speedo, and the needle snapped. well I hit 6,000 rpm in 5th so u do the sums!
with my ST I hit 125MPH but I haven't the SAFC tuned yet....
The highest speed I reached was about 180 Mph with a Ferrari 550 in Monza circuit here in Italy.
The car is of a friend of my parents living next to me. I can just say that is simply....fantastic. >bowdown.gif> >bowdown.gif> >bowdown.gif> >bowdown.gif>
With everything that i have done to my car i reached 145 mph (230 kmh), the engine was puched till the buttom, i thought that it will explode.... The sound was amazing... And then fuel cut off started to work... It was a highest speed ever reached with my celi.

And i realised one thing... That im to old for that speed... It is kind a sceary thing, i think i will never try this again..

I managed 138mph (@5800rpm) before the approaching corner started to become uncomfortably close, but there was still a bit more left in her!

You guys should come to Ireland, from the sounds of it most of you think of 100mph as a holy grail.

We have grannies that do that here in beat up old Russian pieces of crap!

Going to work each morning I would usually travel at 100mph on average (not boasting, just happens to be the standard here where I live!)

Anyways, I had a 7th Gen posers behind me this morning and left him for dead on the corners, you know one of those guys with the polo neck pullovers and those narrow sunshades.>rolleyes.gif>
He was certain that he had the advantage in power........

He drove so close to the back of my car, I thought he was trying to get my rear light part numbers.

After a while, I took my opportunity with a clear road ahead, dropped two gears redlined to 8000rpm and left him standing, I thought those 7th gens were supposed to be quick???

hee hee, long live the 6th gen.
110 mph on the turnpike, was not scared but was coming up on traffic quick, so had to cut my speed, felt like she had a lot more left to give.

>biggrin.gif>
Went 110 and then chickened out.

I like this man... brain where it should be. firmly in the croch. I agree about the 7th gen cars to...ponsy is all i can say, and without being arogant what happent to the 4wd turbo model. I love mine. goes like stink and sticks on the road like **** to a blanket. As for mr F550 big respect. Id love to have a go on a decent track. Will do as soon as ive paid off my car loan (not too long now i hope) and can afford the discs, pads, tyres i would wear out. He he. >biggrin.gif> >biggrin.gif> Big respect to all the nutters out there!

I have a 98, I have gone 130 on an all out road in colorado.
my ST hit this huge brick wall at 115, it was pulling hard and all of a sudden, BAM, my head just flew foward. i bounced off this 'wall' a few times, then gave up bc my fuel light came on smile.gif didn't take long to get there, and i was actually at 50% throttle

long live old threads!!

i know for a fact the st can go faster. when i had mine i got it to 105. it was almost redline but still.
i haven't tried to top out my GT. i need new brakes and don't want to risk it. as soon as i get some new rotors and pads on it i want to go out to the desert and give her a good pushing
fastest i have ever been in a car was my friends 87 supra turbo. 145 with the targa top off and 600lbs of people in it. he said he has gotten it to 160

Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)
120 in my celica
154 driving a M3

Hit 140mph while racing a silver Mercedes in my Eclipse. I don't know what it is, I hit the speed limiter before I could catch up. It was amazing though, because at around 100, the car kinda got low down on the ground all of a sudden.

Haven't pushed the celi past 160kph though... I don't feel as ungrateful to the car as I did with the eclipse, lol.

One o'dem crazy Canadian freaks, eh?

not scary if you know what you're doing, i've been racing/riding for over 8 years smile.gif
but it wasn't done in traffic or around cars either....be smart smile.gif

though i wasn't thinking and un-tucked @ that speed which turned me into a human parachute (supposed to)
but i forgot the force of 170mph winds is enough to lift a human off the ground and throw them pretty good, it almost sent me off the bike...
though i plan to see near 200 eventually wink.gif i still had 1 more gear to go laugh.gif
