Re: max speed in ur car?

in my car i did 100 once, it's a 92 accord and it could do more but i don't want to test the burgundy bitch, she might get pissed off at me.

about 130 in my moms accord v6 just to see how fast it was, i was stupid, it was before i got my speeding ticket and stopped speeding too much.

No I shifted to N because some punk in a new Shelby stang passed me like I was sitting still, didnt even see him sneak up on me... after he passed , I couldnt keep up.

My passenger was in the back seat(safty issue) with the laptop/camera, he kept raising the limiter a little at a time.
It was a testing thing

Re: max speed in ur car?

Wow, the engine is only turning at like 1200 RPM at that speed, you must have a huge overdrive gear.

Eh, haven't really had any interest in trying since I got the car. I heard it's not as easy you'd think, even with an all-access pass to a diagnoses machine. Perhaps I should try this week.

i think you've missed the point, the thread starter's asking what speed have you done, and in what car.
