What's the fastest you've gone?

It would definitely not be a pretty sight.

Nope, infact... I don't really want to think about it

137 or 136 in my 00' Civic Si (minor mods)

Spedometer read 220 km/hr (137 mph) in my 2000 BMW 328CI, this may not be accurate because the cars specs say it has an electronically controlled top speed of 206 km/hr. This was done on the 417 a freeway in Ottawa canada. I would like to point out that the car was quite capable of going faster and I have hit my top speed numerous times. I'm going to have to get that fixed. Anyone know a good solution?

[gang$tarr]

you can order an ECU that takes off the limiter.....
i think dinan sells them

[Crackerman]

yes they do... they also sell superchargers if you need a little more top end

at 190, i'd be wearing GOOD leathers, that dont go in 2 seconds. Plus i saw a guy crash on his bike at like 200 something, only broke his ankles....and he was being dragged along with the bike. Your body actaully slows down really fast. Not fun, but i'd rather be rolling around on my own then strapped into a metal deathcage flipping around everywhere. Plus, there is such a thing as lowsiding the bike, and if you're good enough, you can sit on the bike while it skids on its side.

But the simplest thing to do is not to crash.

i used to go to high school on a military base in germany..this advantage of course was the autobahn..i own an almost stock GST..but thats not the point, for prom of my senior year, my dad rented a CLK AMG 55 for me to drive..first thing i did with that car was go tailgate a porshe, i believe it was a carrera 4s..it was off to the races.. he pulled away really fast an i followed him as fast as i could..i got the car up to about 183 mph before i lost the edge..i couldnt handle the speed the porshe slowly pulled away..this all took place on the zuffenhausen autobahn going north of stuttgart...biggest adrenaline rush i ever experienced..

[JE123]

I wish I could drive on the autobahn. I bet there are races everyday. What speed do most people drive on them? Are there a lot of accidents on them?

[chenZen]

sorry to change my handle..but something wouldnt let me use my password..well anyway. you would think there were alot of races, but there really arent. For a couple of reasons, one reason is that if they want to go fast, they dont race, its whoever has the balls to go the fastest. Another reason is that the Polizei (police) have very harsh punishments for street racing. As long as you are on the autobahn thats not going through a city, you can go as fast as you want, they dont have state troopers on your ass, they have sneaky little cameras hidden in the places where they do post speed limits, but usually there out of film anyway, and most of the speed limits are posted only where theres a lot of congestion and residential areas. As for accidents, you wouldnt believe, but dont occur that often. But when they do, its a doozey, usually fatal. I think the reason why there are less accidents is that in germany, you have to go to Fahrshule (drivers school) for six months and pay 3000 duestche marks, or 1500 Euro's before you can get your license. All in all, driving in germany is definately an experience, but watch out, germans have a subconcious grudge against american and japanese cars, especially if you are in the fast lane, lets just say they use there brights alot..

IN NEED!
Im trying to find a lowering kit, coilovers or something for this car, theres hardly anything out there for my 626. Its annoying the crap outa me. I dont want to get the springs heated, cuz thats ghetto, but i need something, cuz my handling sucks.

Oh yea, in reply to that Top speed, my car topped out at 135, wont go any faster due to the fact that its an aerodynamic equivilent of a brick, and the only reason it got that fast was because i was in the hill country and going down a hill. normally on flat highway it tops out at 125.

The fastest I've ever gone was a measly 95mph in my '91 Mitsubishi Mighty Max, right before I got pulled over...

[furiousd]
