shut up, bitch. what's the point of having a car that can do those speeds if you don't even drive fast.

speeding on an open highway = victimless crime.

stop being a baby
Joe - My first speeding ticket was at 120 mph, and I learned my lesson... Never again, but once in awhile the car might go 100, but 150 + is way too much. BHG, lose lic, jail are not worth it... That's all...

Well, when you are speeding like that in the middle of nowhere in texas, there isn't much risk of getting arrested. Cause you aren't passing regular cars much less cop cars.

I always liked this one, but forgot who to give props to. It's been a while since I have had it.

That picture belongs to me, thank you very much, and thanks for the props. I have at least 4 pics taken at seperate times of me over 140. Its really not that hard to get an intake/exhaust/chip legend up over 140. I think there is vid of me over 150 as well.

and yes, excellent work, well played

Here is the thing. You can hate me and phil for being assholes all you want. But there are a lot of people who talk it, and much fewer who walk it. We fucking take pictures in the process.

I got my car to a little over the 150 pic and I also have a white sedan automatic, but no chip, only intake and 2.5 exhaust. The needle was at the "M" in mph on the bottom and that was about the time I hit my revlimit. I wasnt exactly staring at the guages if you know what I mean. I was actually following a 95 M3 but couldnt quite catch him. He had a 5 spd. I was only a couple cars behind on an open road here in texas;) with three wide-ass lanes and straightaways for miles and miles. I love texas. Thats why our speed limits are 80 in some parts, like that matters.

wow.....

ok welll i have a video of me and my fat camera man who cant tape for shit on www.streetfire.net but honestly be4 i had slammed my 94 type2 coupe to the ground with no mods without the air filter and without the wife wrecking my front bumper and hood i had took it to 159 160 with 2 other ppl in the car. Now i have drien a lot of fast cars be4 i mean i used to work at the lotus dealership which means TT V8 lotus's and high output 4 bangers some with turbo to boot. but never driven them faster then 145. When i had took my 3600 lbs car to 160 with ppl my foot was shaking like a scared little <fill in the blank> on that throttle. with a shit load of air pushing it way through my sunroof but that is the fastest i have ever been in anycar. Besides my friends TT Suv porsche we went to 175 and at 160 it felt and looked about the same when i did it in my car. i know its dumb but when you find yourself on Open highway with no cars on it but some jackass on a bike doing 100 mph highchairs you got to see the look on his face that by the time he got down i was already at 125 and accel, he did not catch up either. but it was maybe that he was too scared to take a bike that much faster. Dont blame him. A jumbo jet is up and off the ground at 150 mph but i think he must have known that be4 i did.:chainsaw:

:( Yeh California and Texas has some sweet as straight way you can do 140 easy and without knowing it. When i went to California for vacation last year we rent a 06 Corola it weak but I hit the rev limit on it once I felt the engine run weird i look down at the speed audometer was 130 and it max the car out. I didn't know it get there by feeling lol. Not like up here there is a corner about 1/4mile or serveral coner in to one place so I can't really go fast up here. Speed limit up here is 65mph is max no more than that.:(

heres the link....

dont mind my dumb specs as this was when i first got my legend and the sales ppl can put a lot in your head. but considering how fast the car is stock why would i have any reason to not belive them. But yes i know now that the Nsx motor is diff from the type2 so plz overlook the dumb specs i wrote as i have lost all control over that vid and cannot change its description http://videos.streetfire.net/search/legend/1/30db0786-687a-4b22-9c17-70ace69f2e37.htm keep in mind this vid was taken when i had just slammed my car to the floor <which i regret> but i am going to fix that soon. And it was bone stock with everything you get from a fresh out the factory legend.

You must be the guy wearing the makeup...

I posted that vid on texasracers.com since that site is mainly SA people and you were on 410 I believe.

dont condone wreckless driving but....


I've done 135mph on a few occassions. the highest i had ever gon was just a bit past 140 on my last trip to NC in my Legend. an audi A6 an di were rolling together i thought i saw a cop, slowed down, i was geeking, he kept on going. I did over 140 to catch back up to him.

it's so freaking amazing how good these cars are on the top side. It's just....amazing. 100mph was nothing to me after i got this car. It just keeps going. 115, 120, 122, 125, 128, 130, 132, 137, 140, "unknown"

WTF does me wearing makeup have to do with anything? everyone should do well to not make comments reguarding shit that doesnt matter to the topic. But reguardless how in the hell could i possibly not be the one wearing the make up if that person was driving the car and is claiming on this site to own the car? There4 it is dumb and pointless to even mention that i was wearing makeup to begin with because it so fucking obvious in my video that i am indeed wearing it and what i choose to wear or not wear is my buisness and only mine to comment on. I am here to make some friends not enemys so stick to the subject and use some commen sence in order to aviod these kind of post that are totaly off subject. Thank you:chainsaw:

:pimpgrin: Yea i cant spell so who gives a shit? :pimpgrin:

yea thats why i love the highways here in illinois. they are W I D E, with wide lanes and wide sholders. its really easy to hit those speed often, sometime you'll be on an open stretch highway, 3lanes and like only a handfull of cars in the next coming miles.

Also samething happens on the even wider highways, like we have some places with 4lanes, 5lanes, 6lanes in one direction, you just can't resist. especially with the powerfull top end our cars have, i mean after like 100mph its nothing to hit 140+. after i got my chip installed I hit the highway to see if i'll hit 140+ faster then before, and not only was it faster, i felt like it was easier on the engine.
