Take it over 100 a couple times a month prolly, but unless i'm cruisin with other cars or racing then its just usual speeds, but usually i make sure i accelerate to that speed in less than a second.

I go the speed limit to 5mph over. Most of the people posting on here sound like f'in idiots. I sure hope you don't fly past me at 130 then stop at the next gas station...
If you are driving that fast on a public road I would assume you do it because your *** gets embarrassed at the track.

I don't tend to do double the speed limit often, but on one occasion the police spotted me doing about 85mph in a 40 zone. I was approaching the junction rapidly ready to get the back end out, i saw the cops behind the bushes slammed on the anchors, they followed me for about 1/2 mile, pulled me over. They said i was approaching the junction a bit fast but we didn't catch your speed, drive more carefully in future.
I was like Phew!!, thought I'd lost my license.
Highways I tend to hover around 100mph, if the roads quiet and in a rush then 140mph up to 163ish. So i guess thats mad man mode. lol
In 30zone's I'm usually under 40mph. Unless kids around then I probably do under 30mph in them areas, don't want them getting stuck ion the air intake, not now I've taken the baffles out.

I average about 5 mph over, but if im in a hurry, ill do 10+. I usually don't like to push it though. I've only had one ticket in my 4 yrs of driving, and that was in my moms suburban lol.

I usually drive about 5-10 mph over the speed limit. I cant afford the ticket and don't have a drivers liscence. If i get a sudden urge or have a girl with me ill drive like 100mph at most unless im racing thats a different story 130-145 mph lol. Funny story i've gotten pulled over for 120 in a 20. Amazingly no ticket just told him i was testing my fourth gear synchro, he was pretty cool but he told me if i got pulled over for something like that again i would go to jail.

I't just makes more sense to me to drive near the speed limit most of the time. anything can happen on the streets, like oil on the road, dear or border jumpers jumping out in front of you ect.

On the highway I usually go 60mph just to get better mileage, since I drive a truck. In town I usually drive 5 over. On the interstate I usually drive about 10+ over just because when I go on a trip I want to get there, instead of staying on the road for a few hours. I made ~500 miles in 6 hours, that would have taken my dad 9 hours.
When I had a car I drove the speed limit or about 5 over every where I went.
I had like 3 speeding tickets in 1.5 years so I decided I would slow down.

when my car was just exhaust intake etc it was WOT leaving my driveway. now that i got converter and stuff etc more HP i baby it cause i dont want my tranny to break. I usually drive 5-10 speed limit depending where i'm at. next town over the cops know me and would give me a ticket for goin 5mph over so i do exact 50mph speed limit... nothing more. just gotta know where the cops sit. now that i'm getting older i realise drivng 120mph on a back road is stupid. and fat burnouts. arnt every stop light anymore lol
