Oh, your friends cars. Makes sense now. And I am too afraid of a blowout...thus I don't do it anymore. Not to mention, one time I passed a cop at 150...that sucked lol. I just got lucky. I did get a flat at 90, on the way back from Douglas. Luckily, it was in the rear, and the nail was still in the tire...went out slowly, not a total blowout.

Not to say I've never done it though..LOL...you'd just be hard pressed to see me do it again.

94 Saturn SL2 - 115
98 COntour - 115
(both hit the governer LOL)

04 DSG Mach - 110
65 Koupe - 100
03 Cobra - 100

03 AB mach........137. Fastest I've ever been, and won't do it again. Mostly, I'm too afraid of a blow out. I've been in a deadly crash before...dont' wanna go there again.
didn't you just get the saturn? meaning you just had to do it recently! haha liar liar liar!

and yea im always worried about mechanical failure too when going that fast it could get very ugly very fast. had a few friends almost lose their lives in situations like that so i tend to not push the envelope.

glad to know our tax dollars are going towards good use!



and for me. . .

old VR6 GTI: 145 or so on the way back home from San Diego going down hill coming out of the mountains.

T/A: i'd say about 130-135 while toying around with my buddy in his firehawk.

I don'r remember how fast I've had my Camaro on the street (maybe 140), but the last time I was at Englishtown I stayed in it past the line and hit 145 before jamming on the brakes (gotta love Baer).

SL2....the sedan man!...LOL. SC's are fugly. I like the L300s though.

Yep...Cops estimated I rolled about 3 times. Broken back window, bush in the back seat, with my CHilito on the floor. Bags deployed. No cave in on ANY of the frame. Only body parts. I was unresponsive and my friend thought I was dead when he came too. He went looking for help when I came to and I thought he was thrown from the car. Needless to say, I have since learned ALOT about corner taking at high speeds. Still makes me skiddish to this day sometimes though.
