Well that just totally explains that when the camera pans up at the end you can see the divided highway and cars not only in front of you but on the other section of incomming cars to the left.:disappoin

They were other profressionals there to help stop him if he lost control... =D

Thats what the track is for.

Thats what the track is for.this is very true..........but its not as fun on the track as on the road. my opinon.

So I'm on my way home from work today, and I realized I left something on my desk. @!#$. Well, at the time I was headed south on I-83 but fortunately hadn't passed the last exit. I get off the highway, loop around and get back on northbound to head back to work. Again...@!#$. I hate wasting time

Anyway, I merge back into traffic and get up to speed. Speed limit in this section of I-83 is 50MPH, but actual traffic speed is about 70. I head over to the fast lane and I'm tooling along for about a mile when I see this car coming up on me in my rear view mirror...FAST. There is a line of traffic in the lane next to me that I'm about 5 cars back from the front of. I look again and he's still closing fast...no signal or sign he's gonna pull off. I floor it and by the time I get past the head of that line of cars I'm doing over 90. I jump into the center lane and this guy's car was just a blur going by me. I was doing over 90MPH and he went by me like I was sitting still. I counted off the best I could when he passed the tenth-mile markers ahead of me...around 3 seconds per tenth-marker -- That's somewhere in the neighborhood of 120MPH! @!#$ tool.

We come to a section of the highway where it rounds a gradual turn, then goes downhill then back up. After rounding the curve you can see a good mile and a half ahead. All I see is this retard (still at full speed) weaving in and out of traffic, twice crossing all three lanes to get around people. Next thing I see is brake lights, swerving cars, smoke and lots of flashing lights. Then I realized I wasn't seeing any flashing lights...I was seeing the lights on the retard's car over and over again as it rolled repeatedly, then went end over end at least twice.

Fortunately for those of us with brains, all the swerving and locking up of brakes kept everyone at a safe distance from the destruction of this guy's car (now on it's roof laying off the shoulder into the median). Lots of people, including me, stopped and I ran up to what was left of the car with a couple other people. The guy was still in his seatbelt and still in the seat and SOMEHOW still alive and conscious. He popped the belt loose and crawled out the window and laid on the ground a bit, then got up and started walking around. Me and everyone else there was amazed that he was even alive, let alone walking. He looked to be about 18, and was pretty shaken up but seemed to be getting around ok. We kept telling him to sit down but he wouldn't.

So anyway, the police get there and start taking everyone's information and interviewing all of us that stopped. They got my address etc, then started asking me when and where I first saw him, how fast I was going and all that good stuff. I told the cop how fast I had been going, as well as the fact that I had to get up to 90+ just to get out of this guy's way and he STILL blew by me like I was in reverse. I said I thought he was going at least 120. The cop told me that their initial impression was that from the length of the highway this guy had @!#$ up rolling his car, plus the fact that it had gone end over end at least twice toward the END of it's roll they were guesstimating 130, but the accident investigators would figure it out exactly. I can hear the guy being asked questions by the cops as some paramedics are attending to him on the side of the road. he keeps telling them he "can't understand it...it just broke loose...it just broke loose...it's not supposed to break loose like that. It just got away from me and started spinning"

OK, so fast forward to now. I'm sitting here typing and reading, making sure I didn't miss anything to make sure everyone can get the full picture in their head of how ugly this was. The only thing I've missed is WHY DOES ANYONE CARE?

The car that blew by me at 120+ before getting some "custom body work" done was a 2003 Cavalier. Could be an '04, I dunno for sure...but the tails looked just like the ones on my brother's '03. Ive never seen '04 tails).

I think this needs to be dug up for everyone to read. Only a few weeks ago some teens around me were killed in a Cobalt who were doing around a 100 when their car went airborne, flipped several times, roof was crushed and the 2 boys were dead upon arival. No offense CavLCD128, but i have alot more done to my car suspension/brake wise, and i wouldn't even trust my own cavalier going 100mph + down a high way. This goes out to everyone, if you injure/kill someone doing stupid shit like this i hope you pray that you your self die as well, because you know the victims family will be comming after everything you and your family own to compensate for their loss.. Not only will you have to live with the guilt of it, but with little or nothing left in life after the prosecution attourney rapes the hell out of you, Insurance money only goes so far... and in the end it just makes SEMA have to work harder for us people who keep safe and legal to modify our cars and not be labeled at "street racers" while the government has another case to push for banning of alot of the things we take for granted.

/end rant.

well we all have out own opinons. but i do understand where your coming from classic. but i still love the adrenaline rush from going fast and racing other cars. will do it till the day i die.

lol i defintally didnt mean to start a war...i know that this was wrong...i am in no way...intising, condoning or pursuading anyone to try this...i have read that before i just dont remember where (somewhere on this forum). i understand where everyone is comming from and i dont wanna send anyone over the edge....

They were other profressionals there to help stop him if he lost control... =D

lol :icon16:

i am also going to the track soon to get a 1/4 mile time and stuff so i will post that when i get it...

All these posts from people bashing other people who speed and race and what not are really getting old. Can one of the higher ups please make a Sticky or something about how you don't condone speeding, removing the governer, racing, or whatever else it is you don't like? No matter what you do/say it's not gonna matter so why risk getting carpeltunnel and typing more then you have to?

Secondly, all you people talk like you've never opened up a car before and never went 100+. Yeah, okay, hypocrits. And if you, by some chance, have not...then you don't belong posting about this and saying that the car can't handle it or the driver can't because if YOU havn't then YOU don't know.

.....*sigh* bring on the past quotes, new articles, and internet articles of people who have been in accidents or have been killed driving in excessive speeds. Because in my opinion they are all VOID. All different people, all different drivers, different ages, different cars, different situations. Statistics are not everything.

:iagree:

and i think were :chair: a dead horse here...

There is a time and place for everything, but you still are going to have the people who can't handle a car going 30 and those are the people wrecking going 100 mph.

You all are going to do what you want to do.... I don't care what you do, just remember you guys are all responsible for your actions. Just remember that the next time you feel that urge, and take into consideration... What if _ _ _....

yeah, im sure theyll take that into consideration


lol

yeah, im sure theyll take that into consideration


lolhahha yeah well when im going ''fast'' i do think of what would happen if something went wrong. but then again my adrenaline is going so thinking about it dont really do anything.

When I first started driving, my dad taught me there is a difference between "having fun" and "being stupid." While they both can seem the same, there is a fine line of difference, it's up to you to discover the difference for yourself.

It took some experience for me to understand that, when I tried to "dukes of hazard" mom's car into my friends gravel driveway, next thing I know about ten planks were flying off his neighbors fence, who was in front of us and saw it happen right in front of her. I was trying to show off for my friend. Wow, that was almost ten years ago!

For me "being stupid" is doing anything that makes me think "what if," like when I was showing off above and didn't stop to think "what if."
"Having fun" is everything else...

well u should defintally learn how to drift....i can drift a corner no problem...lol
but i think what your trying to say is "Know your limitations"

Haha yeah, the "what if" can apply to anything. "What if" i'm going 20 mph, and a kid runs across the street from behind a mailbox 3 feet infront of me. I dont think that is being stupid, on my part anyway. Every time you get in your car, you are only a few inches from death, being it you or someone else.

Good point, life's a circus and we're walking the tight rope.

Good point, life's a circus and we're walking the tight rope.very well said.. never thought about it like that.:bigthumb:

Downforce is what keeps your car grounded, Improper force will cause your car to go airbourne. Big gaudy wings are not the proper downforce in fact only add drag. Anything over 4 in in height is not doing its job.

i've never done more than 90-95 (the meter goes up to 85 and theres about 5miles/hr of space for the needle to dawdle)

when i get my 3.1 turbo things will be different though..
