Speeding - Page 31

I'll be the loser - 85mph in my Honda Accord Coupe is the fastest I've ever driven in the US.

Although I got up to 165 kilometers/hr on the A562 in Germany in an Audi A3.

The roads are to bad to go fast around here. There are also too many drunks driving. The fastest I've driven is 95 mph on I 12. The funny thing is, I had my cruise control set at 95 and people were still passing me up. The fastest I've been is 144 mph in my cousin's 02 911.

I did 120 in a 45 with a 94 z28 racing a crossfire I was first of the line but he passed me when my car reached its limit of 120 he wound up doing 140 and no cops and no tickets. Funny the next day the coolant light came on.

I buried the speedo (160) in my SRT-4 with a bit left to go, but I shut it down.
I have only done it once, and probably will never do it again, just wanted to see if it would actually do it

that is fast when you look at the fact that it electronically limited to a top speed of
148 mph (easy to remove)

but the top speed is drag limited is 156 mph

Well, IME "indicated speed" and the actual speed are seldom the same when you get into the big numbers unless you have a "certified speedometer". Even many exotics are way off at the top end.

And mine has the Mopar Stage 1 PCM, and other modifications. Sure stock its limited, but mine sure isn't.

Also agree to great lengths what is said in the post before mine about the accuracy. But I thought we were supposed to be using the numbers provided from our stock gauges here

No biggie, just clarifying.. but while on subject, where'd you read the drag limitation? I remember reading such a number, but not that low.. just wondering.
