yeah, what gonthrax said. I've been in a fast car before, but its not the same as a bike. its nuts, especailly when big easy turns come up, leaning, even a bit at those speeds is scary. It's like the asphalt is beckoning you to have a touch...

and think of it this way - at 194 miles an hour, your going 132 FEET per SECOND!

Little bit of an update for me. I just hit the 110 mark in my Oldsmobile. Oh Yeah, Go Me. Previous record was 102. Probably could have pushed it a little more, but was too scared.

I estimate that I've gone about 140 in my nova, the speedo tops out at 120 and the needle had long since disappeared in the dash. I came up way too quick on a semi and passed it before I had a chance to hit the brakes, not that it mattered since they're pretty much non-functional at that speed. (4 wheel drums!) It was fun but not an experience that I'd like to repeat in that car.

I've hit the 110 mark in my supercharged Cougar XR-7 going down a side street, the car has been broken since I got it so I don't get a chance to drive it much, some idiot screwed it up putting a new battery in. All I know is that when you turn the key it gets power to the colloid(sp?) which is what you have to jump in order to start the car, anybody know what's the matter with it exactly? Thanks a lot...

And the ground is mere feet away from your very very soft skinned, fleshy, breakable body. Thats death...

True True, I donno though... The thought of skidding along the pavement untill I slowed down from 190mph doesn't sit well with me. 'cause if you bail doing any more then like 50 or so, that leather yer wearing is gone in two seconds flat. It would be gone in no time at 190, not to mention your skin, flesh and parts of you bones.
