Default Re: So.... how fast have you driven on the street?

135 in a '72 Z/28, in 1979, street racing my best friend, in a 35 MPH zone.
The officer knew where he lived and pulled in the driveway a few minutes after us, while were still standing there laughing.
He lost his license for two months and I got a $150 fine and lost 6 demerit points. Then I had to have a meeting with the Ministry of Transportation, as I had now lost 13 of a possible 15 points.
They let me keep my license as the guy figured I would not make it the two years required to get my points back.

125 in a '69 Z/28, in 2000, going up a bridge, spanning a shipping canal. The car would have gone faster, but the front end was getting loose on the road, so I backed off.

I would not never entertain that today, as it is considered stunt driving today and your car is immediately impounded. Then you have to deal with the fine and the increased insurance costs, if anyone will even insure you.

That is how I ended up at the dragstrip. I needed a safe place to play.
