5-10 over. I think it's been well over a year since I've done 100+ on a public road and I don't plan on doing it again any time soon. The track>*. Pushing your cars limits on the street is just dumb.

well i dont daily drive my camaro so....i only bring it out for the weekend. now my daily driver, a 01 neon m5.... i drive the **** out of that car every chance i get. 5-10 over in most places. alot of open roads on my way to work, so i usually push it alil more on those roads. my other car, a 05 skittle m5.... gets pretty much the same treatment as the regular neon.

Slowed down a bunch when the day before court I went to get my driving record for the lawyer, it was 3 pages long. So now the bird sits a lot, and I ride my slow rat bike instead.

Here in Cali your safe if your doing 10mph over (granted there is no traffic). When you get past 15mph they WILL pull you over. 75-80mph seems to be the general norm out here.

5-10 above usually on the highway, under on regular roads...if I race I make sure I hit 155 so the loser doesn't even think about it the next time he sees a Z28. All they usually see in the end is a red dot they can't catch up to.

I used to consitently do 15-20 over on 95 till they passed them dumbass laws here in VA. So now its 5-10 everywhere except the neighborhoods.

Not to be an ***, but you said "dear". I think you wanted to say "deer". That would have drove me nuts if I did not fix it...

PREACH:no freakin way man that i would do 95-100 everywhere i go. thats just retarded. i hate to see people do that. it takes one mistake by you or the 100's of people you will pass to get alot of people killed. on this site its typical to tag those guys that do that as ricers, but its just as bad to see a car just like yours do that. I mean c'mon guys! any freakin '87 blazer can zoom around people on the interstate. YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL BEACUSE YOU ARE DOING 40 OVER. i hear people say "I'm a pro or i am careful at 102" mabye so, but hte 15 year old girl that just got her permit isnt. such a waste of freaking life to see things like that happen. ITs people mostly my age too which makes the stigma about high school drivers all that worse. going 110 @ 3AM is one thing, your life is the only one in danger and ill admit ive done it, but the tard that drives x-car that opens it up on the highway on their way home from school deserve every ticket they get. use common sense, if you think your car is fast, then race at a track! too many excuses in street racing anyway. I dont care if your car is faster than mine, i still dont want to see you doing 85 in a 45 zooming in and out of traffic at 2 in hte afternoon. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DIE AND IT MAY NOT BE YOU, let that sink in :END PREACH

I used to drive like an *** - i got pulled over 4 times in the 1st year i had my Z28. Got 2 tickets - 1 i did online traffic school then other a 8hr saturday class. None are on my record, but they still cost me around $300.
Now i drive the limit. Then i don't gotta worry about where cops are hiding - cause i'm not speeding. I used to street race a lot - now i just resist the urge and take it to the track. The less i spend on tickets the more i have for mods!!
