Re: Fastest You\'ve Ever Driven
145 on 95s in CT somewhere between exits 90 and 80. (was 19 at the time) 1993 RX-7. I shut it down after not realizing how fast I was going. It would have been a smooth ride had the wind not nudged the 2700 lb. car 1-2 feet laterally. I wisened up to the fact that you could really eff yourself up(re: die in a gasoline fire, or collision with pole, car, animal,etc).
Sold the rx-7 about 4 years ago to another kid/young guy from Long Island that totalled his rx-7 in the rain. Now my wrx barely sees 85. Edit: this was in the wee hours of the morning and looking back on this, it was really stupid. |

135 in a Chrysler 300m in W Texas, standard IMO.

[/ QUOTE ] If everyone was wearing their seatbelt you might be right, but I'm assuming 100% of people not wearing their seatbelt die at 100+ with a blowout. Obviously, it would be dumb to go top speed and not be buckled in, but you know there have to be some people who do it.. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] |
