Ah yeah Doug, that was awesome, you know ya need a speedo shot, maybe cut the screen in two where you could see tach and speedo, and the action at the same time.


I love this stuff.

Well, I guess i should be sitting here in awe, but your stupidity overshadow's your greatness.
True, your car is an awesome machine that could put mine to shame, but your judgement, in gentle term's, could use improving.
Now come's the part where you can tell me you have the reflexes of a fighter pilot, that you were being carefull and knew what you were doing.

Feel like I just got off a roller-coaster, man that was an awesome video. Had to double check your setup, kinda amazed that it brings you to over 190... (Gives me inspiration). Once again, AWESOME!

Sorry. Couldn't refrain.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with Bob Cosby here. Too dangerous to do that on a road with other cars present.

Nice

I've been above 190 over a dozen times, almost 2 dozen, and it NEVER gets old

Got a question for ya . . . did your windshield vibrations create audible harmonics? I've done 19x mph with and without pop-up lights and my windshield vibration decreased with non-pop-ups.



Edit: if you haven't already, change your injectors and fuel pump. Holding WOT at max load for the length of time necessary to reach those speeds on stock injectors causes you to go dangerously lean. Your duty-cycle is maxed out, so you need to upgrade squirters.

Ummm...wow, I've got 160 with no cars whatsoever and I was scared shitless. I need some bigger ***** I guess. I haven't even hit top speed yet. I know it's only like 174 or something but I wanna get there just to get there. Awesome run, wish my car could do that.

Nice video, how do your brakes feel slowing down at that speed?

If he actually hit them, which is not recommended at those speeds, they would be flame red; mine were when I hit them hard at 160

At extremely high speeds you don't wanna hit the brakes right away. If aggressively applied, you could inadvertently swing the rear end around . . . this would be bad.

190 . . . 200 mph . . . slowly lift off the throttle and allow the tremendous wind resistance to slow you. Then I'd recommend applying serious throttle at 175 or so; with aggressive brake application at 160

I like allngn c5 . . . we have the same psychotic illness

i been 190 on a moddied zx-11 and it doesnt seem like that was 190. i hit 185 on my R1 and it seems like im goin much faster than that. the painted lines go buy much faster and the cars i pass are getting passed much faster. guess ill just wait for the speedo run. still looked like fun though im not bashing in any way, just my experience.

Well i would think hitting 190 on a bike would defintaly feel faster then in a car.

i feel just the opossite- at a 100mph on my bike feels like 75- i definatly dont have the stones to do 190 in a car. i feel on my bike i have more control, more time to get out of the way of trouble or brake
