Default So i just hit 169mph last night!!!

So last night I had my speedo needle PAST the voltage gauge! On the freeway "in mexico" haha at like 3:30am. I got some video to prove it, ill try to post it up soon. my iPhone GPS app said 169mph, its always been pretty accurate so im willing to trust it

I'll be sure to keep an eye on the news for a guy in an fbody in CA who dies in a high speed car crash. Hopefully you don't take anyone else with you.

I'll watch the news for a guy in a stang who dies racing. your just as likely to wreck. dont be a hypocrite... you race like everyone else. 100mph or 160+ your most likely gonna die if something happens and we know you have been over 100mph.

170mph is way beyond wreckless. It's just plain stupid. There's nothing
hypocritical about it.

Though I've been tossed out of here for calling people dumb before, I don't have a problem with this guy. He went to an interstate at a time when no one else was around, and as long as he didn't risk anyone else, I say more power to you!

169 is pretty kick ***. I've seen 165 a few times myself, and I doubt I've been over 170, though it's possible. Is it risky, you bet. It's his life, his choice.

Going fast like that is no more risky than launching hard in first and banging 2nd and 3rd now is it? It would suck if you grenaded a tranny and shot shrapnul at another car or pedestrian now wouldn't it... **** happens...
