115mph in my '90 Honda Civic EX. Still a little left in it too! I probably could have pinned the speedo at the 130 max if I really didn't care about my engine!

I will go faster sometime soon though. When my friend's '90 Mustang GT hits 99999 miles before rolling over to 00000 we're gonna pin the speedo at 140 and take a picture. So I'll be going 140 pretty soon!

kakerot and I got his Geo metro up to damn near 100mph if not 100mph. Good ol 3 cylinder With the AC on and going up a slight hill. The best part was about 30min later we had to slow down to turn and I noticed the radio was on. that little engin was making such a high pitch sound the radio was totally covered. thiso was 4 years back maby 5 but it was still Damn funny!

Yeah Frost, it's me. I've kinda gotten out of the whole computer thing recently and a lot more into cars. Mustangs in particular. Dude I'm still running that 300a that I bought off you, and it's still running flawlessy at 450@2.0V! I'm gonna need to upgrade it sometime as it sucks with my new Radeon, but it's still doing pretty darn well.

When I was young god only knows what all I did. Fastest I ever went was when I was driving my brothers 68 vette late at night coming back from a bar. Saw a damn flashing light behind me, looked at the speedometer and it said 80. Here we were drunk and in a 55mph zone. Looked at my brother and said "should I?" He said F*uck it, so I floored it. Cop dissappeared and I was up to around 150-160 then zipped off the next exit and drove behind a house till we knew all was cool. We enjoyed a good laugh. :D But damn, if I was caught it'd be no more blade.

Fastest I ever drove one of my cars was probably in my first car. A total pos '64 ford galaxy 500. Took it up as high as the speedometer went, which I think was 130(maybe 120). Had to show off to my friends and show them it really wasn't a pos. :eek:

Speaking of bugs hammer, I hear ya. Few years ago we were riding bikes in the mountains and around hairpin curves and a wasp or bee flew right under my shirt. It's so much fun getting stung when you can't do a thing to stop it. The bee didn't like it either and he made sure I got the point.

I am envious of ya too dadx2mj, It's been my dream to have a lamborghini. Red or blue, or any color for that matter,hehe

Lets see while I was driving 115 in a 2000 altima 4cyl. Had a bit left in her. Friend was dring home from the beach at 140 in a 91 t-bird (not sure. Its was the first year of the redesigned ones). Speedo was buried but if the numbers continued it would have been down at 140. Think the speedo stopped at 80 or 90. That damn thing started shaking at ~100 or so. We wound up almost overheating about 3/4 of the way home (normally 4 hour drive we made it in 1.5) Now I gotta see what my sis's 92 integra can do...

About 240 kph or about 145 mph I think..On my motorbike.
I was driving my Kawasaki KZ 1000 MK II on a 2 lane highway with a buddy on the back and we let her go..@ 240 it still had some room to go but I didn't..haha
I also had an '86 Mustang GT that summer..got 4 speeding tickets and almost lost my license...not proud of that...
I can't remember how fast I got the Mustang going but for some reason I always felt safer when going fast on the bike more than in the car.

love drivin fast

Post by sheerdark »

I drive a 1992 Nissan 240 SX convertible and I have only had it for about a year now. The day that I test drove it I took it out on the highway. The speedo goes up to 115 mph and I wrapped it back around halfway to zero. I have no idea how fast I was going, but the car was handling great, sports cars are nice. The funny thing is that this car is supposed to have an electronic speed limiter at 117.5 mph and a Rev limiter at 5000 rpm. I am guessing that the previous owner did a ECU tweak or cut some wires, cuz I know I have gone faster on the interstate than that. However, I have since slowed down, cuz I really don't wanna go to jail for something so stupid, and I would never run from the cops in my car because you might outrun them, but you can't outrun their radios. However, I think that driving fast is something that everyone should do once in their life, but you have to know when it is right. It is best when no one else is around on a 2-4 lane road so that you can take up more than one lane....heck yeah!

Gotta remember when blade was drivin' it was probably like "Smokey and the Bandit" :) Nah, I don't know how long ago it was, blade didn't say, but I'm sure it was before cops started gettin' real fancy like they are now-a-days. If you run from a cop now, you're gonna be caught. Back then when '68 Vettes were roamin' the streets, maybe not :)


mmm, '68 vette. Those were the stingray years, right? They look da best :) Makes for one hell of a story anyway!
