Let's not make this a Health Cop Thread.

I had it to 220. It's supposed to go 245, and I believe that. Not bad for a 17 year old car with 371.000km on it. :buttrock

No,thats great!!!! Well,my car was governed for 245km,but since I put my software,and cheaters into it,its no longer governed...I estimated when myself,a porsche and an Acura TL hit the speed trap(cops were just setting it up),that I was doing around 240,managed to slow down to about 160km when we blew through it,then its everyman for himself(slowest gets caught),when myself and the porsche totally left the TL in our rearviews,I estimated I was doing around 275km(ish).Well thats what my buddy estimated(who was scared poopless)LOL.I still had some pedal left,but traffic was getting really close...really fast !!!

275. Nice. My tires are only T- rated, so to like 200ish. I don't wanna push it too far. Next set is going to be Z-rated, definitely. I'm surprised it's not actually that fast.

that would be a crazy adrenaline rush. I went 200 in my dads e46 but i've done 170 in the e30.

i went about 265kmish aswell, with w-rated tires. the ball joints were very worn though at the time so it vibrated like a washboard:D pretty sweet actually.

i was racing a bike on QE2

I call BS for the guy saying he went 255mph in a mercedes 200 kompressor

I raced acouple of rice rockets last summer going out to the lake(Seba Beach),and I passed them before they slowed right down because of traffic getting close real fast...lol.Then I slowed down and they waved at me and gave me the thumbs up sign...lol.

220 racing a volvo s60 a while back. I had to shut down because there was a turn coming up, and I was a bit nervous to be honest. At that time I had just stock suspension and it felt wobbly!

my car has 209 km/h limit (sorry no mods), so this is about what I did... Still managed to get mandatory court appearance... it is coming soon. Any advice?

Rural Alberta, south, going home after a business trip, long day... traffic sheriff... long day just got longer... No, I was not going 209 on THAT occasion, just got distracted by the "sheriffs" and missed speed change sign from 100 to 50...

As far as the stock governer let me go... ;) 255 km/h is it? The needle was past the 250 km/h mark... so wherever that is goverened.

Seemingly accelerated at the same rate up to the limiter that it does at 120 km/h!

Id get a lawyer if there is a chance of losing your license or jail time.

I did 275kph on the sea-to-sky highway on wednesday (the long uphill bit half-way to squamish). Had to shut it down, due to the fear of losing my licence.

Do you have a cabin at Seba Beach? I used to live in a little cabin at Lake Isle. 10 minutes away.

Icabob
04-03-2007, 11:22 PM
Yeah,we bought a cabin with lake frontage,is great for the kids,I just bought a 35' bayliner,so I have to get a pier built.How did you like it at lake isle??I 've heard some good things about it.

Flamewerks

I guess it's not bad. I've seen the lake less than 10 times when I lived there over a 9 month period. I was going to school in Emonton, so I was gone from 6 am to 11 pm every day.

What do lake fronts go for there,do you know.We sold lake front at jackfish,and made a small fortune.

Flamewerks

Not sure what they go for now. My parents sold it three years ago and made $20k in 9 months. Not really worth it, other than bettering yourself in the Banks' eyes to get into a better house. Of course now it's probably worth almost twice as much.

Icabob
04-04-2007, 11:25 PM
If it was right on the lake probably 4 times the amount.Lakefront is so hard to find in this province,cause there's not a lot of lakes here...lol.Do you have a lot of snow there right now?

Z3- 212kph, top down summer way up North. I kept that speed for about 5 minutes- best drive ever! No cars in sight.

Mini- 180, no biggie.

540- 210, again up North- smooth as hell.

645- 190, on winter tires- felt like crap. I did 180 today (sumer tires) and it felt very nice and planted. This car is easily the fastest I've ever owned. I rarely bother dropping a gear to pass b/c the torque is soo good. The power up high is very good too. I couldn't imagine flogging this car, you'd have to be one hell of a driver with not very much trafic.

255 k/ph in our Honda Civic.

It's a rally car powered by the K20A2 RSX-S motor.
Here's how we calculated it:

205/50/15 tires 4.78 final drive. 7500rpm in 6th gear.

So, you calculated it or you actually did it?

200 here, could have gone more but my buddy's car gave out at 180 so I was nice and slowed back down.

275 on sea to sky? wow, how's construction on the sea to sky now? I remember the only good part was before squamish was the section just after Eagle Ridge (two lane s-curves all the way through, newly paved)

and back on topic:

fastest I've done was only about 190 in my little Ti (handful of times on UBC highway, 91, and the I-5 in Oregon)

The hcabin was like the third house from the lakefront. Literally 30 secon walk form the lake. Right now I live on an acreage in Pigeon Lake. It's a 5 minute drive to the next beach, you can pretty much see the lake. I think they stopped allowing people to build on lakefronts, which is why they are so expensive now(?). My father is a realtor, I can ask him. O ya, lots of snow here at Pigeon. I hate this place with a passion. It snows every day, it's not even funny anymore. :cool

I've been 220kph in my dad's old 2003 X5 / 4.4l, gotta get out and open up his new X5 / 4.8l.

I've done 140 mph on the Shannonville Fobi track in a shelby cobra replica.

The old man and I rented a Viper for an hour down in Vegas a few years ago. Made a bee line for Interstate 15 out into the desert. Got 'er up to 165 mph when the hood popped up! (I guess we didn't latch it when we were drooling over the engine back at the rental shop) Needless to say there was a lot of smoke as I locked up the tires and looked to my left to use the solid white line as a reference to where I was.

Threw out my underwear when I got back to the hotel.

I hope you drove a little slower on your way back from Oktoberfest.;)

Check out Zoints - my pictures are posted there. Might be a little faster once the intercooler goes in, but definately will get there a lot quicker.
