Re: How fast have you gone!!

In the viper prob only 12X's as that is about as fast I can go on the short course at BIR. Ever since they made that law 100+ = no license for 6 mo my will to get caught has plumeted. Would like to see if it will pull 200 (supposedly will) but I do not want to get caught.

Definitly suprised that a stock C5 will go 178. I hear aerodynamics play a huge role at over 165 as some cars will "shake" do to not enough downforce. A local viper owner told me about this and he had to add a front splitter to help the issue.

Prob 150-160 on my motorcycle but I wasn't looking down.

My stealth was extremely solid and planted at excessive speeds.

Exactly my thought. That being said I still have had each of my cars at the governor to see what would happen. The talon does 13X still pulling hard as hell, the stratus did 112 (lame and gone), durango did 118 (kinda scary cause it felt like it was floating). Not something I go out and do every day but I knew the sheriff and he was at church I figured what the hell.

On the ice, 12X on a polaris 700rmk.

I never go over 80 on any road in the metro and any any other public road in this state for that matter. Not having a car for six months isnt worth it.
