Dexter, the link isn't working for me.

You'll lose your licence if you do that and get caught going top speed!!

Sasha let me tell you something..it takes a lot of ***** to go 120 mph...and thats usually the top speed for normal people...that was also the case for me..until I got my GS.

I bounced off my govenor at a (what the speedometer looked like) 152mph. (don't forget 19" wheels). It was the fastest 4 miles of my life. It was the best rush of my life, it was something I just had to do...but I swear to God I'll never do it again....I almost lost control of the car trying to slow down to take a curve...a VERY LIGHT curve I slowed to about 110 and my brakes overheated I had to slam it into manual and down shift the car while pumping the brakes....(mind you I have kevlar pads, SS lines, Racing Brake Fluid and Brembo rotors and I still couldn't slow down) thank GOD for E-shift I swear it saved my life. I just pulled over and watched my brakes smoke.

Look no matter what anyone tells you...you're gonna do it just because you've got ***** and you're gonna wanna try it so just make sure there are no turns, curves, bumbs or cops. And just let the car slow itself down.

Oh and don't speed anywhere else other than a highway/freeway...nice big open roads with no light poles.....you don't want to look like that M3....(no offense intended just trying to enlighten the kid with reality)

peace

the fastest Ive ever gone while I was in the passenger seat was 210MPH in a diablo VTTT THAT WAS A RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, but while Im driving was 194 MPH, it was in my 98 XJR, that was the scariest thing I have ever done, the car felt very floaty and unbalanced, I never did it agian in that car, as for the VTTT that car felt like it was solid, planted to the ground, that thing is a rocket!!!!!!

The fastest I have been driven was 130 mph in a Renault Clio Williams (for you who don't know what I am talking about, this is a car that is a little smaller than a 3rd gen VW Golf) at night in total darkness. I was a bit scarred, I have to admit.

Like Joe said, please be carefull when you are going to try and make sure you don't endanger anyone else in the process.

Default Get a sportbike

Get a sportbike... it will solve all of your problem. On an open stretch of a five mile straight-away I was dumb enough to go 150mph+. I don't think I will ever want to do that again.
