2002 Z28 Vs BMW 745i @ 150 mph
I have to admit this was not the smartest thing I have done in my almost 30 years. I was crusin home last night around 2pm. There are no, I mean no cars on the road. I see these HID lights getting closer and closer. I am doing 90 and now this guy is riding my ***. Would **** off anyone. He gets into the next lane and slowly passes. I want to see what this car is, and it turns out to be a 745i (330 hp). Then he nails it and gets in my lane, so I bite. I hit it and start to real him in. He has a 7 car lead mind you. I just signal at 120 mph, change lanes and continue to pass his butt. By 150 he was about 7 cars back.I had no idea of my speed at first because of the adrenaline, untill I notice I can't see the needle. That was because it was buried!!!!! Guy would not pass me after that.

Not to be a ***** or anything, but be careful bro. Anything above 100 is way dangerous, especially at night. I had a close call last year pacing a supercharged vette and a Camaro SS on a two lane highway. I was a few car lengths behind the sc vette when they both hit the brakes hard at about 130mph. At that speed my stock brakes (now I have power slots and hawk pads) faded immediately. I was either going to hit the vette or ditch and go off the road onto the grass (no curb) and make it a single car incident. I eased her onto the grass and my rear started to slide to the left. I countersteered and was prepared to hit the bushes and small trees about 10-15 feet from the road (not much room to maneuver). Still in my skid, I quickly realize the reason why these guys jammed on their brakes. Somehow I missed the state trooper, who was hiden behind a bush, by a mere few feet. Luckily, my car recovered and wound up on the road. I slowed to about 45mph and check my rearview to see what the trooper was going to do. The Vette and the SS hit it again and tried to run. I decided to suck it up and take the arrest/ticket or whatever. Again, luckily, the trooper blew past me and got the vette! Because of this, I will never take it up to tripple digits again- unless at the track. Bro, Please don't think I'm trying to preach to you, I'm just trying to share my experience. I almost lost my life, my car, and I could have killed the trooper. I definately learned from this.
btw, Nice Kill!

I hear ya. I was shocked I did such a stupid thing. Hey......another story for to tell the kids someday. I have also upgraded my brakes and it has made a world of difference. I was surprised the trooper could even catch the SC vette. Guy must have just given up.

holy ****, two good stories. Have to be safe, and if you are going to encroach upon those speeds, do it in the right manner. build up your car somewhat for something like that. Not to mention though, the C6 is supposed to reach 180 mph and feel like the handling is around 120mph. Basically they built the car to feel very safe at high end speeds.

My neighbor has a 745, but he is like 80. Great kill and great recovery story, and do slow it down. Remember they are never going to quit making people, but they quit making FBodies in 02, so race in a POS stang so you can crash it and not go to hell for it, j/k. Stay alive!!!

I agree. The guys in corvettes, camaros, mustangs, porsches, etc. seem cool. The mercedes and bmw's are the biggest bitches. And not those in the M5s or AMGs. It is the ones in the M3s,330s,325s or 320s, 430s and 500s. Oh, and if you want to meet, well have to do it soon if you want a chance. Once I get cammed, you won't have one.
