Driving REAL fast - has this ever happened to you?
 

had to stay the night over in ft lauterdale with cybercat on the way back from the island gathering a couple of weeks ago. he let me drive his new mercedies 55sl. I got it up to 160mph on the highway with the top down. mark says it'll do 190mph with the top up. Fastest I've ever driven in a car. VERY SWEET.


160mph was enough - lol

one thing amazed me, often when I came up on a trucker real fast outa nowhere often the asshole would move into the center of the road forcing me to slow down. I was amazed that they'd actually do that - seemed like a real asshole thing to do but Mark told me they do it all the time there.

has this happened to anyone else or is it just a florida thing?

Truckers are assholes on the road ... point .

And 160 is kinda fast but not THAT fast :P I've been faster with a bike b4 .

what kind of ticket do you get at 160mph, or do you go straight to jail for the night.

same shit happens in ny too, happened to me a couple of times in my car, but a fucker almsot killed me on my bike when i was doing 150. the car just tried to pull into my lane, and i shit a brick but held on...

those cocksuckers:feels-hot

well I've been 500MPH in a commerical jet but who's counting?

160mph is the fastest I've ever been in a car.........

factory front and rear radar and lazer decetors in the car - as well as jammers. the company guarentees you 7 seconds warning on radar, and will pay your ticket if you get caught they are that sure about the radar dectors abilities.

Truckers are the best drivers out there, and result in the fewest accidents per vehicle.

lol.

my C4S will do around 175 mph. i would never bring it up to that speed though. i prefer twisty roads, carving up the turns, and clipping the apexes. redlining in the lower gears, rev matching on downshifts.

i ripped the bow valley parkway earlier tonight. had dinner at the chateau lake louise, then came back on the same beautiful, twisty mountain road.

SD do you know which company that is that makes the best detectors?

Sleazy the top speed of SL55 is limited to 155 MPH

it's the little things that make it all worth while.

I get the most joy outa finding new endless trails on my quads now than most anything else... only wish I had more time to use them....

nope - i had it to 160mph.

mark told me he had gotten it upto 190 with the top up.

My car's top speed is only 150 miles per hour or so but it's quite a rush hearing that engine roaring on the highway. Only tried it once to get the feel of it. Granted, my car's not a high end sports car either.

NO IDEA - I'm not much into sports cars - I drive a big 4x4. I'm a comfort hound, not a speed demon.

that was a friend's car.

i've done 140 in my CL 55

and since we're talking about fast driving, the fastest i've ever driven a car on the road is around 140 MPH in my old S2000, several years ago.

i took a porsche driving course this summer, and got up to around 170 MPH in a 911 on the race track.

nice!

Well...
1) With a car doing 160mph, it's very hard to see that car coming up on you from behind. Even harder to gauge their actual speed. They might not have even see you.

2) What's florida's max driving speed? 55-65? Doing 3 times the speed limit, the person trying to slow you down isn't the asshole in question here. If you wanna kill yourself, get a gun. You don't have to involve the lives of others.

Just my two cents from the only 22 year old male who drives the speed limit.

I got your asses all beat! 186MPH - On my bike.

Pussies.

speeding kills

would not want to blow a tire at that speed. i hope you were on the track.

let me guess - you drive a volvo..........

hrmm yea in a car it's actually fucking fast . I'm only driving bikes right now so it's not the max speed ... wasn't thinking sory

blowing a tire on a motercycle at 60mph is often fatal.

94 V6 Ford Tempo baby.
She purrrrsss.

Oddly enough I'm saving up for an M3. I don't speed, but I love the car. =)

im young and i dont drive over the limit

you idiots dont release the impact you havve on other ppls lives be good if your silly actions only got yourself killed

for sure. i love taking the hairpins, kicking the tail out a bit (it's kinda tough to do, my rear tires are over a foot wide).

i really like quads. but for outdoors, my thing is snowboarding. also love to hike in the summers...

safty assholes say this and then forget to look taking a left turn and wipe out a school bus and 35 children.............

160 on this...

you sir are a fucking idiot

hrmm actually 1 mile = 1.8 km right ?

anytime you ever drive though manitoba you're more than welcome to stop into my place - i'll show you the trails here.

Im surprised any motor vehicle can go that fast with your fat ass inside!!! nice goin!!! :thumbsup

it would have to be a v8

V8, *laf*, try V12

i think something like 1.2-1.3

well, it WAS supercharged................

1km ~ 0.62 miles

100 KMPH equals 62 MPH.

I went 55 MPH on a skateboard when I was 17
101 MPH downhill skiing on 225 long boards when I was 21
I drove my Toyota MR2 twin turbo 145 MPH from LA to SF in 3.5 hrs @ 26
And now - I'm old enough to know - that, no matter who pulled in front of me, or split a lane with me - who's FAULT it would be if I crashed @ that speed - MINE!!!

Get real... it's only fun because it's dangerous. But, just imagine how scary it would be if your wife & kids lives were threatened on the way home from your family reunion by some selfish overgrown computer geek with an inferiority complex trying to impress his fellow GFY-ers. Go to a racetrack, that way you wont kill anyone that wasn't chasing god anyways.:2 cents:

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.
