Detailed: 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Tell me about it! :shocked



My goal was to hit 160, but I chickened out at 155. At that speed, it takes quite a bit longer to go from 155 to 160, and I was at speed long enough to get there, so I shut her down.



This was about 9 years ago, before kids etc. It was on a wide open freeway, no other cars in sight etc. That said, I would NEVER do it again!

That`s the way it was when I did 135 in the Maxima.

I`ve never gone above 70mph

The majority of my driving is "city" driving, so as a result, I make it a habit to keep my speed below 60 (which is keeping up with the general flow of traffic in 45mph zones). As for the highway? 85mph max; but to "top" them all if you want to call it that was 90 in a friend`s `92 NSX. I like to say that it`s not how fast I went, but rather, how long it took me to get there.

Saintlysins- Heh heh, those are some experiences you`ve had there



I`ve had instructors tap my car (mighty hard too, they woulda called it "ramming" not tapping) but never at those speeds!

Fun topic!



I will explain the car first so this makes sense.



Originally a 1977 Porsche 930 Turbo Carrera



Now rebodied as a 94 GT2 look car, 3.2 Litre with EFI conversion and Garrett GT35R Turbo making 540 RWHP and tipping the scales at just over 2500 lbs.



My daily driving approach is 5 over posted in residential and 10 to 15 over posted on the highway.



My top speed in my Porsche is 182 in a 55 (Light Traffic) Car still has plenty more in it at that speed but I ran out of room or I would have likely approached 190+



My top speed in my Audi V8 Quattro is 130+ in a 55 (Light Traffic) Not bad for a trip home from the beach in the rain.

Heh heh, that got my attention more than the modded Porsche Love those V8s, if they only had a telescopic steering column I`d have one myself.

Speeding is getting too dicey in the UK, bloody cameras (fixed & mobile) everywhere. If you double the posted limit or break 100 you can kiss goodbye to you licence for a year or more. Factor in a 100% increase in insurance premiums & it`s beyond a joke.



Not sure how it works in the States but over here you get photographed by a camera & you get a letter in the post about 2 weeks later with your details & the nature of the offence.



A friend went past the same mobile camera 4 times in 2 hours, 30mph zone, he clocked 34, 37, 34 & 35. First he knew about it was when 4 prosecution letters arrived on the same day. Fined $640, 12 points on his licence, banned for 6 months.

You`re not kidding. I routinely drive 80+ on I-90 and that`s with the flow of traffic. I`ve heard of guys getting tix on there for going too slow. I-355 is a good one to go fast on too. I haven`t tried the new southern extension from I-55 to I-80. Will have to try that this weekend.

Most of my hijinx have been on I-80 between I-57 and Joliet.

i live about 20miles north of I-80, it`s a very fast pased highway, great for making good time. i had a girlfriend who used to live in the suburbs of chicago and she told me about an interstate that led you out of chicago north. apparently if you weren`t doing 90 you where in the way, she said you`d see vipers, corvettes, all sorts of go fast cars. i don`t remember,i think is was 94??

[itb76]

I94 goes from Chicago north to Milwaukee. Some people drive fast, but 90 is kind of an exception, unless maybe I`m going that way. Everyone slows WAY down when they get to Wisconsin, it`s a police state like Ohio!



And apparently the UK too! Though I was talking to a guy from England who liked his new Volvo diesel because it drive so well at 130 mph. I said in WI you`d get thrown in jail for that, he said at night (like 3AM) when there`s no traffic there are no cops about, and he could make great time getting to the airport from wherever he was.

[Jek Hawkins]

oh boy, vipers are some man`s cars there! must`ve been some kind of meet some time ago because i was pulled over on the side of the highway and i hear this thunderous roar (i am not kidding you) from way behind and i see this pair of vipers, looked like they were modded if not fully race-ready walking ppl that are already doing 90 like they`re standing still...



needless to say when they literally FLEW past the Focus I was in, it took about 30 seconds for the shockwave to hit, and a very very powerful shockwave at that.



oh yeah, and they were out of sight in roughly that amount of time too...

I`m one of the people that goes 90! But you are correct in saying that the police are bad up there. Between Kenosha and just before the city, they are real bad. The random on/off ramps don`t help either.



My biggest complaint is the asshats that drive below the speed limit in the left lane and won`t get over even if there is no one else on the road:down

[hXc drummer23]

I just got a radar detector and I drive about 85 on the interstate. I usually go 10-20 mph over the speed limit.

[Labster]

155 on the freeway in a car (Ford GT)

168 on the freeway on my old bike (R6)



Never went over 125 in either on a regular street.



I live in OH btw...
