up on 84

up on 84 a z with exhause and deep dish pulled up but didn't wanna show his power until a porcha suv turbo s came along at about 120 passing on the left.

well thats when the z decided to unlock his power and what a pos. my brother driving in 4th gear at about 80 drops into 3rd when he sees the porcha and us and the z take off. after comming out of 3rd into 4th the z in the dust and us and the turbo porcha flying doing a 150 each and for an suv doing 150 i was impressed. but as soon as we dipped at 140 both the z and the porcha decided they only had skills on a stright.
to make a long story short we did 150 in 5th on a type II and still had power.

Don't be.

I know what you mean though, when I first heard about the whole BHG thing when I first joined here, I watched my temp needle like crazy :lol:

I don't even bother looking at it now, my car runs fine and is maintained wonderfully, it's not worth getting all scared about everytime you push your car.

I buried my speedo once in my legend, on the way to Vegas...saw the needle dip past 140 and said Im good...I knew it would do it then and never felt the need to do it again. My Infiniti I have now on the other hand...I dont feel any need at all to play games with my life or anybody else's.....I just cruise along and let the world pass me on by

153. it was still pulling but i was rapidly comming upon an interchange and there could be a cop merging. by the time i slowed down i was doing just over 100 which is still a fat ass ticket but not jail time like @ 150

Please read this website:

Brett was my best friend...

http://www.brakesforbrett.com

I should have been in that car...

Our other friend was the one who was driving, he got thrown through the windshield and lived, he lives with the fact that he killed his best friend and it has torn him to pieces inside.

The funny thing is my friend who lived was the most skilled driver out of any of our crew, and was driving a brand new 2004 Special Edition Accord Coupe.

Think about my friends next time you want to push the needle up above 90.

Peace.

I think it's not necessarily dangerous to go above 90, permitted the traffic movement, weather conditions, etc.. If you are to test your top speed, do it on a interstate freeway! Anyone who tests the top speed is probably used to getting alot of tickets, like me. I have done no work to the engine and almost made it to 140. No pics tho, lol

It was about 5:00AM driving home tired as hell, with my co-worker past out in the passenger seat, I hit 137 but before i could go anymore I past a semi trunk pulled over on the side of the road and once I zoomed by there was a CHP officer right in front of him, he was out of his car and taking to the semi truck driver in front of his truck, after the rush of adrenaline my heart just dropped at the site of the CHP, I got off the nearest exit on took the sidestreets back home praying to God the CHP didn't radio in more officers. That was in my 91 coupe, I just recently purchase a second Legend 1994 type 2 coupe and I'm kinda scared to try my luck now,lol.
