i'm sure this has been done before, and shouldnt this be in performance section or soemthing?.....anyway 120...thats all my speedo reads, and i was at abt 6.5k i had a bit more on the tach to go, but you catch up to traffic pretty fast at those speeds.Last edited by pr3dSi; 12-17-2003, 06:45 PM.Happiness is CR-X shaped

I'm with Deever... doing anything like this on the street is dumb.
I topped out the car once racing a Mustang about 4 years ago, honestly I have no idea how fast it was. Highway curves at whatever triple digit speeds I was doing were quickly becoming turns.
I haven't done any kind of insanely dangerous driving for over a year now, I'm proud to say, and I plan to keep it that way for a long time. When I was too young to be driving, although the law sees things a little differently, I crashed my Accord racing in a residential area doing something slightly upwards of 90mph with a good friend of mine in the car. I missed a guardrail that would have split the car down the middle by about a degree of turn entry angle. My friend and I both walked away from the accident, and I managed to avoid seeing the inside of a jail cell, but needless to say, I was very, very lucky. Especially for my age of 17 at the time.
I've matured, as hopefully everybody does, since then and will not even so much as talk to a streetracer now. The risks are too high, the variables are many and uncontrolled, and there are more innocent lives at stake than most people would care to think about.
In short, before I get off my soapbox, if I find any of you guys street racing, or doing any stupid shit near my area I'm going to come to your house and lecture you to death... right after I boot your car.
*EDIT: I know this thread isn't about street racing, per se', but I've seen too many teenagers talking about "going racing in the sticks on Friday night" and I've seen too many scenes that look like they jumped right out of a demonlition derby lately to lose the opportunity to turn people off of that dumb "hobby."*

About 110 for me...when I first got my accord. Never topped it out b/c like said previously its just stupid...plus I've put too much time and money into my car just to have everything go bye bye with one dumb night. But im not saying I've never raced, because how many people really havent? But I dont race now...plus im too slow anyways.

never topped out...
but i hit 115+ in my 3 speed auto 92 corolla, needle was past the 110mph top of the speedo. it didnt have a tach, but the engine was screaming like a mofo.
got a ticket for 98 in a 65 that night. was driving next to (behind) a friend in the same car, but a 5spd manual version- he got a ticket for 106 in a 65. crazy stuff, i dont suggest it, im sure my tires werent rated for even close to that speed. i honesly could have died in that tinbox. (car was wobbling like crazy)
that was one hell of a ticket to pay for, $350. never gonna go that fast again, and i suggest nobody else does either.Last edited by cp[mike]; 12-17-2003, 03:44 AM.
