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

I did 110 mph in the rain in a viper that I rented in Vegas years ago(with no landau top)...never rains in the desert?? bull !!! at 110 mph the rain does not enter the car !!!

140 in Hawaii in a Ferrari vert. ..only one highway in Hawaii !!! Nothing sounds better than the sound of a Ferrari motor waking up a few feet behind you !!

Also drove 145 in a jag vert in Florida a few years ago. I actually videod with one hand so I could see the speedo and the road in the video.

And last year in a Lambo vert. that I rented in Vegas.... although, I've driven dragsters and nascar cars, I lost my nerve at 165 on the street...other cars come up on you very fast at that speed !!

Saw a skoshi over 5300 RPM in my Nova -- 3:08 gear ... 427. Speedo only goes to 120MPH -- so not sure how fast that was but I think it was north of 140. TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

I was pulled over going 108 mph in my '83 Toyota Celica GT. Took the cop about 2 miles to catch up. Somehow he let me go with a court appearance. Since I was too afraid to tell my dad, I went to court by myself with no money. The judge took my licence on the spot and told me I could have it back when I came with money to pay the ticket. I just drove around without a licence until I could afford to pay the ticket.

Not sure you would get the same break today!
