I was cruising at 3AM once from LA to Palm Springs during a weeknight. If you know that highway you pretty much have it all to yourself at that hour.

I jacked my MBZ 560SL to 145MPH for about 10 minutes and it felt like it could go even faster, but I figured if I blow a tire or hit any highway debris at that speed I'm history.

Had the top down and the stereo cranked and it was a gorgeous So Cal night.

The thing is with Benz's you don't feel like you're really going so fast because they are so damn well engineered and smooth as silk at autobahn speeds.

I got so many tickets in that car too.

Till' you got in it. LOL, then it was superLETHARGIC.

Naw, the safety asshole would be doing the speed limit and looking left. The school bus could also easily take a hit from a safetfy assholes car doing the speed limit.

But it doesn't matter how good your driving is. If you're doing 160 and some guy doesn't squint enough to see you coming up on him, he moves into your lane, and you hit him. It's not his fault.

You can be the best driver in the world and still cause an accident. If only because if you were doing the speed limit, you would have seen it coming.

You have to remember that there are other people out on the road, doing 160 on a public road is worse than drunk driving. The drunk driver probably doesn't know what he's doing when he gets in that car. You know full well what you were doing when you hit that bus full of children.

Hey KRL thats a good highway to speed

Sleazy that car is limited to 155 mph do your homework

google.com might work

drive one and then tell me that.

heh. no tickets in my Porsche. i'll rip through a nice twisty section of (very) dead mountain road marked at 30 or 40 KM/H at a 3 times the speed. but i never crank it on straight droning highways. boring imho.

ya, but that's with max weight.. he was 5069009 pounds over that.

wut he said^

people who speed excessively should be put in jail for as many years as they are miles over the limit.


:321GFY

Been there done that - I drive it everyday

Dude stop getting mad cause you got caught up in a lie

whatever get over it

:1orglaugh

Yeh cause you're in Canada.

Try doing that on a Southern California Freeway and you'll have a Chip on your ass faster than shit.

They come out of nowhere.

i hope you're mommy doens't know you're still awake this late.

top speed over 360km/hour... according to this article.. thats 224mph....

uh, if i did 150 MPH on the highway these days, i'd be in jail. the speed limit is 110 KMH (about 65 MPH). i never drive quicker than 10 KMH over that.

ever.

http://www.go2autosales.com/autospec...s-sl55-03.html

156 mph.

i'm pretty sure the US has a speed limiter, could be wrong. but i've heard it before. i can find out...

K , we are not in australia , the US spec of that car is electronically limited to 155MPH

the ticket for those speeds.........and playing the role of prison bitch this evening is sleazy....str8 out of cell block D bent over his stainless toilet for your viewing pleasure.

You are correct my friend that car is electronically limited to 155 MPH

You can get it limited to 155 mph or unlimited... your choice. Not sure if it's like this everywhere though...

mark's was black - but that's the car.

I have no idea if he had modified it or removed the speed reducing mechinism. I do know the speedomter read over 160mph when I was on the highway.

and mark told me he had it up over 190MPH with the top up and I really don't think he'd be lying about that.


ads can say what they will, I'm just telling you what i saw on the speedomoter when I was driving the thing.

my mom had an MR2 when i had just graduated... that car for a little ass thing it had some balls. i was surprised. i hit 135 and didnt wanna risk going any faster.. i'm not really an adrenaline junkie.

Gotta love it when people brag about breaking the law, and endangering the lives of others.


:thumbsup

now that everyone's talking about top speeds, you've got me wondering. my stock C4S top speed is 175. but i have the power option, adding 25 hp. i wonder how the theoretical top speed will be affected...

If he removed the limiter ( which you can do by getting a replacement cpu) you can get that car moving a lot faster the 155. However that will automaticaly void the warranty. So if he has it moded then it's possible.

but i like australia!!

i know you can remove the limiter. not sure if both the US and other versions have different gauges or not.

regardless, it's a fast car.

i wonder wat happens when 50cent's car approaches the recomended top speed.


does he let up on the gas saying "the specs stat the car doesn't go any faster than this"

for real sleazy really did go 160mph in that car. as i pulled up behind him in my mom's vintage yugo i thought man that cars pretty quick. so i shifted into 9th gear and pulled up along side him.....inverted......and told him to put down the big mac if he's gonna be speeding. ive got a beatiful polaroid of it.

that was YOU?

top gun

You are pretty funny :1orglaugh I'd tell you what kind of car I drive - but then again I'm just a "16 year old kid" :1orglaugh

yup that was me. im thinkin bout puttin a rag top on moms yugo. should be tight. i think then i can push it past 190mph. :)

yet you posted earlier...


lies catch up to you.............................

Max speeds can always be altered by chip mods!

I can't see a top speed limit on any car, you can always go faster somehow.

You probably never wen't to school if you think you can spin this :1orglaugh

Why don't you come up with something original, I am getting bored with you repeating everything I say.

Let's try again I will give you another shot with my hands behind my back :1orglaugh

did i mention i have aftermarket rear defrost....so my hands dont get cold when i push it?

My stock 2.0L, 4 DR, 4Cyl will give all that shit a run for your money!!!

most german cars (good german cars) has an electronic limiter set at 250 kmp/h but you can get a chip for a few hundred bucks and its a gonner. Trust me, I know :Graucho
