Just remember gents! women dig guys who know how to drive and speed is not always the key. not all like it fast and the furious some like it slow and steady!

Raced my buddies charger srt8 all the way up to about 140 from a dead stop. I started pulling around there though and we both let off due to the lack of straight away lol.

From my previous post.....of 153....I hit 157 on the straight away at Spokane Raceway Park a few weeks ago.....I've never had it over 75 on a public road.....I get it all out of my system on the track.....it is a couple miles long....so I know it would go faster....but I don't want to end up off the track.....since 120 is the max going into turn 1!

Ticketed at 130 Coming down from 145ish, was passing a few cars on a highway twards a small vacation town called Chelean. as soon as i got around the 3 SUV's there was 2 sheriffs one after the other. didnt even wait to see there lights just pulled over... He cut me a break and didnt even get me for a Neg ticket just "70 over posted limit"
Plus the fact im 22 was a great experience for the cop, the judge laughed at me in court.

Had an 01' C5 coupe a few years back and opened it up to 160 one morning on US 287 north of Fort Worth. As I remember I had a little peddle left, but was catching up to a pack of cars and didn't want to push my luck. Very memorable ride, was a beautiful sunny spring morning. I also had an 84'coupe with the "Cross-fire". Not a bad car, but not a very strong car. I had it to 130 on the new toll road north of Austin. Car really handled well to be an almost antique. Took a little while to get up to speed, but really handled nice. Ran much faster than I had expected for such an old car. Currently have an 02' C5 convertible and have had it to 120 a couple times, but wasn't reallypushing it. Think I'll just be happy with 120. This is probably my last Vette for a while and just don't feel the need for speed that I used to.

been faster in 2 Pontiacs (162 - radar) and the other was 155 indicated, but pulling hard to the peg and away from a GT500 heh-heh...

in the C5, I've gone a little over 140 (Garmin wasn't on) a few times, but I don't want a ticket...so 120ish is the fastest I'll usually go, maybe once every 10 days or so. I try to keep it around 70-80 on the norm...
