Got the Evo up to 170 mph and it looked like my wing was going to snap!

didnt people gang up on that one guy for his high speed chase for being a retard and going so fast on public roads/highways and now every one is stating how fast they have gone??? that dont make scense how you can judge him for being a dumb ass when we have all done this

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.

We can judge him because hes the dumbass that had cops chasing him and then came on here to brag about it. Its way different than going on some back road and taking it up over a hundred once or twice in a lifetime.

not to mention, just because someone posts a speed here, doesn't mean it was done on public roads either

We got my friends 01' Cummins 6spd up to past 140MPH on some highway in Wyoming last year. The car had 34" tires too and a 6 inch lift. Blew by an F350 doing 110MPH that left where we were 20 mins ahead of us.

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.

dumb_ricer · 09-12-2009

I had my 04 GTO at 165 once. She was pretty much out of juice at that point. Maybe could have touched 170 in another mile, haha.

I have been in a car going somewhere between 175 and 180 before though. That was rather fun.

Just because everyone has been stupid doesn't make it not stupid. I've gone 120 in a car on the public roads and 130+ on the bike on back roads in southern WI/MN. I wouldn't do that today, regardless of the law.

I've got a loud, expensive Evo and I've been passed by more than one Prius on 35E because the speed limit through St Paul is 45 mph. I don't make the laws and 10 over is enough for me 99% of the time.

There are a lot of good reasons for owning things that you don't "need," whether everyone understands it or not.

white_4gGT · 09-13-2009

I've gone 135mph (eclipse) and 125mph (dodge daytona). I definitely wouldn't drive that fast on public roads anymore.

And driving fast is not as fun as going to the track and really try the car's potential with the turns, braking, acceleration, etc. I'm hooked after that track day in BIR. I would like to build a track car one of these days. Not sure what kind yet but those open wheel Fx cars would be fun.

+1. The first thing the guys at work ask is "how fast did you go?" It doesn't seem like a relevant question to me...I slowed down on the straights to the let the faster guys go by. The fun is in the turns.

Now I find myself looking at options as well...a second car for a daily driver so that I can be impractical with the Evo. Not sure what I'm gonna do.

sleepy2lazy · 09-13-2009

Fastest i've ever gone was 68 mph. 1 mile faster and i woulda went overboard !!!!

That's the same question I got from my friends too. I slowed down too and let them pass when faster cars were behind me. The fastest I hit on the banked area was 105mph or so.

Yeah, I've been browsing lately just to see what's possible out there for track cars. Either build one that is a street car and mod it for track or just save and get one that is all track built. LOL! Nice to just browse too anyway even though it will take me some time to get to it.

I did get a second car for winter (saw your post). I bought one last year and traded it in this year for a Honda Fit (my daily driver and winter car - going to get snow tires for it on steelies). 40mpg doesn't hurt with my 40-55K miles per year.

^^^ We are also considering a track car, several ideas have passed though our heads but the current cars are doing quite well. James is going to take mine (blue car) to the track tomorrow with the corvette club. Also going to Mid America Motorplex (Iowa) next weekend with both cars for Sat and Sun.

It is definitly fun. We may build another car with another buddy of ours so the 3 of us can split the cost. You two may want to do similar

I've been 125-130 before. It was scary.

110 on a snowmobile is scary, car not so much. :P

GSXMatt · 09-14-2009

Mach 1.2 in the back of an F-15. My E-Penis is much larger than all of yours.

Fastest I have gone is ~100 and the rear seemed to be sliding around so I got off it. Top actual speed is hard to determine by looking at the spedo as the track likes to spin a bit at higher speeds. I was on fresh snow on a studded XCSP700.
