I believe he hit 170 as a passenger on a turbo busa. Carring a passenger at those speeds is very risky but possible. I hit 150 in the 1/4 from a dead stop. So a busa going down the freeway at 70then accelerating hard would hit 170 in about 2 seconds.
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:
