Took my Brother-in-law for a drive in his new 350Z when they first started making them and did 143. Got back to the house and told my dad, he claimed bull sh*t, so I took him to 147 and that was all he wanted....
Outside of that had my BMW to 135 and my 74 Camaro to 145 on a long downhill straightaway.....25 years ago |

Well the speedometer in my 87 Firebird said I was doing 45... of course it was on it's 2nd time around. It think it was really somewhere around 150 and I was really hoping I could get it to kick into high gear.

I was 17 and driving an early 80's oldsmobile station wagon I went 110 before we hit traffic. My older sister was in the front passenger seat and my dad was asleep in the back. or so I thought. After I slowed down he said pull over at the next rest stop... boy I sure I was dead but I just didn't drive anymore that week. it was worth it. I'm not going to claim any higher speed than that because of big brother and all.

120 skydiving at 9,000 ft.
not much to show just..108 in my 4-cylinder car.....it crawled sooooo slow from 102-108 took 7 to 8 seconds, wouldn't give me anymore =(*tear*, so i figured it was time to slow down. was on a back country 2 lane road by myself with no traffic in front or behind me as far as the eye could see,ride was ok. Doing stuff like that on a highway with traffic is crazy though i don't think i ever would.although never say never. Funny Story, about a month or 2 latter was pulled over by a cop on the previous road going up a small hill on another 2 lane road, when i reached the summit i saw a cop coming toward me from the other direction at the same time and we passed each other.lol. Scared the crap out of me! was just cruising 72 in the 55, and the first thing he asked me was 'are you crazy?'.lol. good thing he didn't know about the 108. Never going over 100 again unless i have Radar and a CB to talk with the truckers to find out where the bears are.lol. O, and don't listen to them about saying its for your own 'safty' we all know thats a bunch of bull shit. Their is more accidents in the U.S. then their are in Europe and the autobans in germany with the no speed limit sections. It has been a proven FACT that you are more alert and paying attention the faster you are going, then just cruising at 55-65,THAT is where all the accident drivers come from its not the speeders. Its the fact that people pay less attention and just zone out when they are going the speed limit or less and not really pay attention to whats around them.They think going the speed limit or slower somehow gives them somewhat of an invulnerability while driving and THAT is dangerous to common sense... But of course the 'safty' commission wont tell you that.... the person going 105 is paying much more attention to the road and details surrounding him then the person going 55. i guarantee you if they raised the speed limits by 15-25mph it would drop the car accident rate by at least 50% the first year because people would be paying attention to their driving. But o, wait, they would lose probably about 50% of their speeding fines $$$ too because alot of people drive 4-cylinders for a daily and cant go much fast then the raised speed limits anyways. just my thoughts. |
