Whats too fast

[Snowdoogie]

On the news tonight they were saying that the RCMP clocked a motercycle doing 263 kmh (164 mph) northern Alberta. This guy got a fine of $12,000 and no points.
The fastest I have ever done was was just over 100 mph, and that was too fast, yeah about 15 minutes later RCMP got me for doing 77mph.

I have nothing to prove these days, and my 3.0l is a dog.

I've read that the hayabusa is limited at 186, and will do considerably more with a reprogram. Even crazier, when turbocharged, those things will WHEELIE at the maximum speed the engine can withstand in top gear.

Too Fast? I drove past the peg on my bosses shelby(150) that was too fast for one reason. OTHER SPEEDERS WERE IN THE WAY.

 

[skinner]

140+ is my estimate in my hopped up monte(speedo buried past 130...had tons left in her)..my first real venture into building power...
that car(an 88 supersport) handled like a dream, and rode beautifully...
but at that speed...hit one little dip and bump in the road and felt like i was going to take off...
since that haven't been much past 90.
Ranger now won't do 85 and thats fine by me

I once did 140 in a 455 gto,never had the bug to do it again.Too fast is when the paint starts coming off.

Yes and no. With the limiter programmed out and a full exhaust change to a Yoshimura or similar it is good for 193. Even then that's on the speedo, actual speed is less. My best was 176 mph on a 2005 Kawasaki ZX-10R. That was the GPS reading, speedo showed much higher.




PS. that was on a track. Doing that on the street is for retards and soon-to-be dead folks.

 

[Wicked_Sludge]

ive done over 100 in pretty much every vehicle ive owned. i dont speed much anymore because im usually not in that big of a hurry to get anywhere.

if i was rich and had a death wish, i wouldnt mess around with all these dinky american muscle cars...id get myself a bugatti veyron. 253 MPH. the worlds fastest production car...and it does all this with lincoln quality

I dont do excessive speeding too much anymore, but had to try the lightning 145mph on GPS. Pretty good for a truck, but not recommended the truck was floating pretty good. But now the ranger barely does 70mph good enough.

TRS doesn't allow the promotion of illegal activities. Keep that in mind while you are bragging.

If you could run 200mph, I would be impressed. Otherwise, if you passed me going that fast I would be praying for the opportunity to pull out your esophogas and jump rope with it.

Some people's trucks are so dangerous that they are taking more of a risk at 65mph than the 160mph motorcycle guy.

 

[Hahnsb2]

I've been a 100 MPH in couple of friends cars, been a little over 90 in the B2 which is of course way too fast for a B2, I normally cruise 70 on the freeway and I'm perfectly comfortable with it. I'm not about all out speed, I like acceleration and spinning tires more. I don't care if you wan't to go stupid fast, just don't do it around others.

I usually dont go fast but, I raced my friend and his V6 mustang. He was determined that his V6 was faster than a V8 mustang. I proved him wrong as I borrowed another friend of mines mustang. I was doin somewhere around 145-146 not sure how fast he was goin.


P.S. this was on a track. Not a fan of street racing.

 

[Mutant Pony]

I've been over 100 mph within a 1/4 mile and did it legally!

When I was young I got a LOT of speeding tickets, I'm smarter than that now.

To fast is when you can't stop for that little kid chasing a ball out into the road.

 

[Dusty_Ranger]

ive had my 88 2.9 5spd speedo maxed out and i could feel the truck still speeding up i dunno what the mph is but the speedo max was 140 kph

 

[Bunnell1988]

I drove down to Baltimore one and got on I 695. It was insane. I was doing 130 in my Talon (lots of room to get up to the speed mind you) and was still getting passed.

130 has been my max, and probably will be for awhile. Did it once on a road close to my house and had to pull over, back got all tight an felt sick for some reason. Dont see that happening in the Ranger

 

[ak96]

my explorer has only seen about 120mph

fastest i ever went was 130 in our chrysler 300C hemi

i was sticking right with a mustang GT thru the twistys he didnt like that he couldnt shake me nomatter what he tryed.
