Top speeds no fun if it takes a 1/2 hr. to get there .
Hows about 160 mph from a dead dig in just over 8.50 seconds . It's all about the fwd. G's. and the adreniline .
I'd give anything to be able to pass a N.H.R.A Top fuel physical . 325 mph. in 4.90 seconds and 4 G's of fwd force would be a real rush . Real racecars don't have doors anyways. :D
Crispi :jointsmile:
i went to a race track called santa pod in my mates escort mark 2 he had a 1750 cross flow engine with twin webbas and a nitous tanks we must have gone 160 plus he done the 1/4 mile in 8-1/2 seconds:thumbsup:
145 In the passenger seat of a Acura NSX.
And 131(Digital Panel) in my friends stang 5.0 racecar, the lotus elise I was racing had to be going about 160. then about ten minutes later I dropped the clutch too hard at a stop sign, the front tires didnt even move, fishtailed it into the curb and cracked a rim :o PIST
It's not a car but i've toped out my gsxr-1000 several times. It hits about 185 mph before redline. Pulled me down the 1/4 in 9.9 seconds a couple times too. For a good rush i power up the front wheel at 100 mph and ride it for a while.:thumbsup:
250mph in my Buick.
Now that I have your attention, well over half of you are just straight up lying. Over the internet. Which is really, really lame.
The fastest I've ever gone is 105mph, it's as fast as my civic will go.
Don't lie. People here are smart.
Another 1/4 of you are exaggerating. What SUPERBIKE were you on when you were going at 170mph. And you were on the BACK?

Not a chance any road vehicle could gain 100MPH in 2 seconds. The worlds most powerful car the Bugati Veyron (1000bhp) has a 0-60 time of around 3 seconds. As you get above 60 it takes longer than 3 seconds to get to 120 (double the speed).Quote:

We spun out at 260km and the cop said we hit the barrier backwards at about 230ish.
Nope TPot, not exagerating at all. Ask my wife, LOL, she pee'd her pants. The '06 GTO I own has 405 RWHP, and it's limited at 153 MPH. And knowing your from Georgia, have you ever been down I-185 from LaGrange to Columbus? Nothing there, plenty of straights, and hardly ZERO enforcement. Almost lieke the Autobahn. THAT is where I hit 153, and when I figure out how to kill that damn limiter, I'll post even faster times. Of course you know the LS@ engine in the GTO also comes in the Corvette, but by GM's infinit wisdom, they couldn't let a lowly GTO outrun a Vette, hence the limiter.
Come on out to West Georgia if you wanna see for yourself! ;)
140 in a Buick.
Lots of bikes will top 200 mph if they aren't restricted by law, which to my mind is crazy.
Bikes in the UK must be restricted to186mph (300km/h) If I was crazy enough to try this on a road or track (and I definately don't reccomend any British roads) then if it did go tits up I reckon I would end up as roadkill wether I was doing 180 or just that little bit higher .
If you really want to fly I reccomend the nearest racetrack..
Gotta Love Busas YouTube - Ghostrider's new modded turbo hayabusa
A dodge viper SRT-10 will EASILY hit 170, no problem man. Learn your shit before you come on here putting other people down.
This statement confuses the shit out of me... where did you get that impression? When I lived in Germany, my friends dad got a brand new Porshe 959 and took us out on the Autobahn. We got up to about 180, 190.Quote:

I cant wait until I get behind the wheel of a fast car...
After more research I have actually found that it is only BMW, Audi and Mercedes that have agreed to fit an electronic limiter that will stop the car topping 155MPH.Quote:

I know how fast a car goes. I know that you can supercharge a 1970 GTO to go 0-60 in ONE SECOND. It's been done. I know the Veyron tops at 407(253mph?) km/h. I know cars.Quote:

I'm not putting anyone down. I'm just saying alot of this is just really hard to believe. Seriously, be skeptical. How many people have superbikes or can really drive 170mph. I'm sure a few can, and do. I'm also sure that a few don't, and lie about it. And the point I was trying to make was -
nobody will ever know the difference.
I'm just saying, when someone says "Yeah dude some guy just picked me up in his Ferrari when I was talkin to him and took me around at 200 mph", you can accept it, or you can realize that someone just wanted to make a cool post. So for real, I know alot of you are being real, and without a doubt some aren't. Either way, it's just the internet.
Peace out and I didn't mean anything harsh. :thumbsup:
apparently you havent been to florida, busa country. i could care less if you beleive me or not im not trying to impress anyone i was just simply replying to the question asked.so you can think im making it up if that makes you feel better about yourself but what do i have to gain maybe some people that i will never meet will think im cool. come on be serious and just because you have never driven over 105 dosent mean you have to be a dick to everyone that has.:thumbsup:Quote:

One of my buddies from college has a 1979 Camero and he got clocked doing 165, the cop got a "picture" of him, and all that was in the picture was a big red blur
120.. I was in the car, not driving.
One of the most dangerous things i've done - the guy was using cruise control and didn't have his feet anywhere near the pedals, he was steering with his elbows and.. yup.. pissed as well.
No, if I was trying to insinuate that I thought you were stupid, I would come right out and say it. However, there are American cars that have either mechanical or electronic limiters on them as well. They are quite easy to bypass, as long as they are sold with the limitations, thats all anybody cares about.Quote:

Ok i just want to share my biggest rush on a bike. Taking off at the drag strip full lean on tank while slowing rolling on the throttle. The trick is keeping the front tire just floating no more than 1/2 inch all the way up to 100 mph redline. Just as the tach hits 12k rpm i crack the throttle and the bike launches forward and starts pulling the front about a foot off the ground. Grab second and hang the tire still about a foot and grab third for a short wheelie then finally staying down long enough to grab fourth. Well thats 9.9 seconds and 150 mph of the most fun possible, uh except sex.

I don't know why I don't just keep going bc it's always completely stable and at basically 170 whats the difference, I want to know it's top speed now after boring and honing, adding a full muzzy exhaust, rejetting and adding a k&m filter after my wreck plus it looks great now bc I finished polishing the frame now I just need all new plastics.
I just went 1 gazillion mph last week in an old beat up gremlim with a nice stereo..we did a few bong rips and then wanted to see what his car was made of...man..that thing was fast..could possibly be the fastest gremlin on earth..I am not sure though
i also had a 1988 crx with a jdm zc swap and and new ecu i had to get an evo to drive next to me to tell me my speed at 154 reved out mine is also ripQuote:

He don't look much like a boy racer to me lol.

Talk about scary? Any Front-wheel-drive car above 100.....IMPO
And anybody who has taken a FWD above 100 knows what I'm talking about.
not in my srt-4 its actually really stiff its fwd... the crx on the other had after 100 the steering wheel shook at a scary rate
