140 in my mustang

[AlbroShlo]

220 km/h in my '87 VW Scirocco (450,000 kms) but didn't get a ticket...does that still count lol

I was scanning the forum...and thought this said "So, anyways, I was fucking your mom..." I had to do a double-take.

Here it's legal to drive that fast on the highway, unless it's been explicitly stated otherwise. I've used the opportunity a few times when the road was free and been up around the 210-220 km/h mark.

I love Germany.

I thought you guys had a national speed limit of 55 mph or something? Or is that just in Hitchcock films?

As a result of the 55 limit in the great days ofthe 70's the national attitude towards the speed limit broke. Everything 55 and below is oddly ignored. On L.I.E. (I 495) where the limit is 55 the average speed (traffic permitting) is 70 MPH to 75 MPH. On the NY Thruway (I 85) where the speed is 65 the average speed is ... wait for it ... 65.

I just love it. These idiots driving their box like SUV and Mini Vans which already get horrid MPG (hey I drive a prius you all suck except motorcycles) are driving like a bat out of hell and getting even worse gas mileage. And you wonder why I root for higher gas prices? Revenge is a dish best served unleaded.

140 mph in my 1970 Pontiac GTO prior to the engine overhaul. 125+mph in 2004 GTO...

I remember doing 85 in a stock 79 Dodge Magnum, and the car felt like it was going to fly off the road. If you had to take a turn, it was all over. Doing 140 in a car from that era is really something... unless you seriously swapped out the suspension. Now-a-days, you get to 110 in a volvo wagon and it feels like your more or less on rails (of course the engine isn't as happy as the old 400 big blocks were), and 85 in alomost any car on the market today is like walking with all the grandmas on one of those old-people rubberized tracks on your lunch hour.

No way would I even make the slightest veer going at that speed. You actually begin to glide and feel every pebble on the road. This was done on a back country Indiana road at 17 years old. There is no way in hell that I would try that speed now (I still have the car and have increased the horsepower substantially over the stock 360 hp). I have had it up to 130 mph on an empty highway, and as long as you keep it straight, it really glides. I have a 2:86 rear end on her with over 400 hp; I don't think that the engine has a top-end and the car is limited by aerodynamics. Wind gets underneath the car at those speeds and heightens the fearful experience.

I remember doing 3MPH five nights ago on the way back from the local bar, I neared the first hill and amazingly my speed dropped to 1.5MPH, undeterred I soldiered on, pausing only to smoke a quick joint which further added to my drop speed. At 1MPH intoxicated on booze and stoned on Spliff, the hedges and passing trees seemed to blur all into one...
My internal Turbo kicked in when I eventually reached the peak, where I got a backy ride on Tracy the barmaids mountain bike, needless to say on the way down the hill ,we were going so fast I had to grab the nearest two things at hand, just to stay on!

I had my 2000 Mustang Gt up to 146 once.

[Skittles!]

Ah Kayla, still the old you obviously. How's Jamie these days? Still as douchey as he was?
