I've done 125mph on my old '03 Suzuki SV650 (close to topspeed), 140 twice in my Mustang (still pulling, should go a bit over 150), and 142 in my mom's '03 S2000 (still pulling as well). Not very bright, but it was on a rarely-travelled country backroad all of those times, so atleast I would have only killed myself

but he point im tryin to make is 100+ , wreck and hit somethin your chance of living is not good. My buddy who owns a wrecker service picked up a f body that hit a bridge at 35 was horrible. Im not sayin hollin *** is cool im stating my personal experiences . yeah its a huge difference but hit a tree or something stationary at those speeds watch the carnage. Im not talkin about spinning out ,im talkin speeding than to a complete stop

It doesnt have to do with the chance of living through a wreck, its the chances of actually wrecking. Youre pretty much dead even at 115 IF you wreck.
At 115 the car is way more stable than at 170+ which decreases the chance of actually losing control.

Thats very true but these folks on here are like I go 130 but I wont go any faster. Bottom line you wreck your dead either way. To me 140+ it doesnt feel any diffrent to me, some it may but some it dont diffrent strokes for diffrent folks

I think for me, that i know myself as a driver and try to avoid going over 130 because:
1. Its a public road. Maybe it wont be you that screws up, it could be Jane Doe with her 5 kids in a Toyota Sienna that doesn't see you in the same lane because you are no more than an angry sounding blur to her. That and she has never used her mirrors for more than make up.
2. at 130 I firmly believe that my wilwood 4 way discs can bring me down to less than felony speeds quicker than at, say 150, or so.
3. I enjoy life.I almost get killed everyday just driving interstate 5 in a subaru, 5 mph under the speed limit, due to everyone else.
Just my .02 cents.
And as a side note, my cobra radar, not the best at all, has still saved me at least 10 tickets so far. Damn highway 101 and its 50mph sexy curves.

I've been to 150 once, in my VR4, and to 130 in the vette, 125-130 in the Mustang (seems like 200 in the stang lOL), and I doubt I will ever see 150 again. The older the get, the slower I go. I do see 120 once a week just for a second or two. But 0-100, heh, everyday.
