120 and still going, late night freeway fun. Options

[lagos]

man, you guys really are crazy.

it dost matter if the road has cars on it or not. there may be something unexpected, like trash that fell of a truck or maby and animal, or a piece of truck tire. if you hit that at 100+ you are f u c k e d.

the other thing to consider is if your tires are even rated for those speeds.

for me, i like the 0-60 and the highest i try to go is 90ish. its not worth your life or your right to drive, just to say you went 120mph.

2003 porshe turbo, 205 mph. Gotta luv those uncles and the straight country roads

[Hym3n]

I was shooting more for the Mitsubishi GTO MR (a rebaged VR-4). He's got 15G turbos, 770cc injectors, and boosting somewhere around 24psi at the track. Getting close to 10 seconds.

Gotta love those 3000GT friends.

I have been on a few high speed runs and these 3 were on public roads.

280 kph / 170 mph in a Dodge Viper (my dads).
260 kph / 160 mph in a Porsche 911 Turbo.
240 kph / 150 mph in a Skyline R33 GTR.

I have taken the Viper out a lot but that was the fastest (that thing will go faster, but it scares the **** out of me).

My celi cuts out at 116... round there. Screw it, who wants to go fast anyway. Let em drool over the beauty of the 6gc...

[kevstir]

130mph in my celica and there was still more in it but i ran out of road before i had to turn of the motorway(freeway), mind u the top speed on our UK GT's is 139mph

just know that things on the road come up on you in a blink of an eye when traveling above 100mph......

[97Celica]

I've done 127mph against a ****ty ass lowered Integra and started pulling hard away after 100mph goin down 495...btw,we passed a statey..I almost pissed myself...he didn't even blink...must have been..ASLEEP! Around 117mph the governor kicks in and cuts the fuel line but if you let off for a second you can slam back down on it and get back up to 120+...but,yes..127mph for some reason is the fastest I have gotten the Celica..so far...it IS in the process of being turboed. Also..the governor kicks in if you get close to the rev limiter...I found that out losing to an eclipse by .03 seconds at the track...3rd gear...fuel cut.. I was sooooooooooooo pissed.
Ah well..

[LatinKraze]

<------- 110mph but have reached 115mph. I havent pushed it to the limit.

[dstrbcelica]

[o8poa8o]

my dad use to own a modded Ninja 1000R and siad he went well over 140mph down a highway in the middle of florida and passed a state trooper and the trooper didn't even bother chasing after them


btw: my dad use to race motorcycles, and i kno its still stupid to drive on two wheels that fast, but this was when my dad was in northern florida round tallahasee(sp?), and my mom was pregnate and thought she was my sister and thats what he was rushin

Your mom thought she was your sister but it was a false alarm? Glad to hear THAT

[o8poa8o]

oh and i've gone alittle under 120 in a new eclispe spyder, and it was crazy we had the top down and all

[o8poa8o]

[shid]

Ok, now it makes sense, btw, we can all see you edited it after my post, so no sense trying to make me look like an idiot with your rolling eyes.

[celicaracer18]

first off you guys don't know the meaning of speed, haven't you ever heard the vette motto "life begins at 150 mph"
and my fastest speed is 234 mph, in the celi lol j/k it was in a heavily modded corvette ZO6 which included a couple of turbos
btw the vette wasn't mine and i wasn't driving but the adrenaline rush was still huge

and you guys in the gt's that say they have got 120, thats makes me glad i got a st, all i have is short tube intake and an apexi rev/speed meter(also serves as a speed limiter cut) and i got 215kph which converts to 129 mph, and i wasn't finished my exit came up.
