I rode in a Crown Vic Police Interceptor once at 90 MPH (not as a prisoner LOL!)on a secondary road. I have to say it just about gave me motion sickness with all the swaying and rolling. It was enough to make me think twice about driving at really high speeds on 2 lane roads.
Now if I had been in a Camaro B4C, that would be a different story!

I say as long as your not putting others in jeapordy,more power to ya.As a passeger in a vehicle the fastest Ive been is 170.As a driver,130.There are places that are better suited for speeding.Now if you hit an animal in the road well,thats the chance of it.
I get most of my fill of speed at the 1/4 mile track.The rest are on secluded roads.
fwiw
American cars aren't even in the same league with their outdated chassis and engineering. In Europe even the lowliest VW Polo with a 1.4l engine will run at 100mph all day long if you have enough room. I own an Audi now but I've had BMW's in the past. A E36 328is is cruising pretty effortlessly at 120mph and tops out around 150mph.Quote:
No hate Brent. I drove a 01 and 03 supercharged Cobra and drive a police car 2 times a week.
I've driven on two continents and maxed out pretty much every car I've ever been in. If you don't believe my story that's fine, but hey, I did it. My car is designed to travel at high speeds over long distances while offering a high degree of passenger comfort.

I don't drink and drive, but if you're a passenger, I don't see why not.

:shock: I am speechless.
This thread just hit such an all time low with that last post, its insane.
I wont even touch it with a 10' pole other than this:
I cannot believe you are stupid enough to even try to take a picture of your speedometer at 155mph while you are driving.
Total lack of judgement.
Also, please take note, there is a different between what your car is designed to do and what it is market to do.

Wowo. Guessing that was last gear?
Its easy to tell if a passenger took the picture based on the angle and focal plane of the picture.
If you want to get into cameras and photography and determining whats what in pictures, go ahead and try me. One thing is for damn sure, I know more about cameras and photography than 99% of people, being a professional photographer myself.
Yeah, I was joking with my misspelling of 'homologate special'... I misspelled it to show (reference) how immature the whole going 120 in a car is, in other words a slight joke, saying if you feel its safe to go that fast one isn't even going to (be mature enough to) spell or know what a homologate special class is, because if one does know what that means, they would keep everything to the track.Quote:

I actually do 'drive' a (previously-designated) Homologated DD. I have a 750cc Superbike The ZX-7R(R), which competed in 'open-class' AMA Superbike competitions, as it did have World Superbike Homologation status. 8) Ahhh... Superbikes
