Default Remember **** happens

Ouch! I think this is what your SC might look like if you loose it or blow a tire at 130.

Interesting..I made a thread exactly like this one a while back and it was deleted by the Mods..

The fastest speed Ive ever done in my SC300 was 120mph. I could have gone longer but I know my limits when Im running on stock tires.

The fastest speed Ive ever seen in SC300 do is 160mph. This was a while back in my friend's SC300. It could have reached the full 165mph but the oil lights were popping up.

140+ once a week or so.
next week will be for a e55 owner who's 17 and thinks his car is fast while mocking my car. Good thing i see him as a little bro or his exhaust would of already been shoved half way down his throat.
only sad thing is...i have to kill his pride cuz he doesn't have a chance.

Note: on the below, I am dead serious

I'm a very slow driver apparently. Fastest I've gone is 75, on the highway (speed limit is 70), but I usually go 65 now to get a few more miles per gallon. Never gotten the tach close to 4k yet either. Can't afford to kill my car... yet.

Default Time to trade?

You could trade in your SC for a pimp'en Caddy.
They cruise well at 65.
Or turbo your SC and crash it like me

Your car's faster than an E55?

Are you running boost, I hope?

i have already asked in another thread: is there a speed limiter in a 92 SC400? is it electronically smoothed out up to maximum speed or is the fuel suddenly cut off like XU1 RX300? please advise.

I'd love to do some kind of turbo when I get done with the T-Type, but without the wrecking. =)

All I know is that right now I don't have that kind of money!
