How fast have you gone!!

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.

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.
