i want my legend to last atleast 50 years. when i 1st got my legend i did went 140 on the freeway, and it was around 5 am. no cars at all. i went that fast for about 5 miles. the 1st year of owning that car, i drive the car fast and fast at corners, accelerating fast. then my engine blown out. cost $2000 for another good used engine, but this engine sucks its not even fast at all. but after i spend $2000 for that engine, i now drive my car nice and carefully. my goal now is to just take a really good care of my car.
I don't see a problem with driving aggressively if you maintain the car. I don't drive like a grandma my any means, and with 182k, the car runs great. Just needs some normal wear and tear/routine maintanence. (TB/WP, brakes)
 
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.
 
I hit, 124 on hwy 6 from houston heading to katy, total weight in car was aprox. 827lbs, and it just accels so smooth, im thinking w/o my 2 friends i woulda hit 135, mind you this is maybe 3/4 of a mile vid comming soon.

ps. thread open again.

I wanna do it with my 95 LS but I'm scared of the BHG demon
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
 
135 IN MY LS COUPE!!! had to let in down after that. Was Coming from Pennsylvania to Kansas(20 hours). Last ten minutes of my ride decided to punch it agian and got clocked doin 103 in a 70 $300 dollar ticket ouch!!!!
 
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...
Dont think going 140 occassionally subjects you to a BHG man, your just paranoid, as long as your car is well maintained should be a problem with an occassional "speeed burst". LOL
 
I ve driven both my legends over 140 mph and love it got lots of tickets but just dont give a fuck!!!! also gone 120 on my motorcycle more tickets still dont give 2 shits. Best advice I can give buy a speed detector.
 
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
