A once in a lifetime opportunity to watch these three go after it :eek:
For you local guys, I was on Hwy. 121 north moving to exit off of William D. Tate. at the point where Hwy. 360 merges onto 121, I looked in my rearview mirror to move over to the right lane, when I saw a car come over the hill, and he was moving!!! Right away, I noticed it was a black Viper GTS, chasing him were two other cars!!! I moved over quick because these three cars were coming up on me fast. Now I'm driving around 70 mph. I rolled all 4 windows down on the Galant so I could hear them as they went by, don't laugh :) Man what a time for my 'vette to be down :( Anyway, this Viper flew by. I was grabbing my door to keep it from being yanked off the hinges. Running right on his a** is a, wholly sh*t, a Lingenfelter TT C5 :eek: 3 cars behind him was a 911TT. Oh man, in a matter of seconds, they were gone. I called my wife on the cellphone and said "Guess what I just saw"? Excited like a little kid. Her response was "It's probably car related" :rolleyes: When I told her the story, she said "You poor baby, and your in your Galant". While she is laughing over the phone. Wouldn't have made much difference though, because by the time my car is topping out, they are just starting to breath.
That had to be the coolest thing that I have ever witnessed. Thought I was in a Motor Trend televison segement :D

oh man, that is sweet. :)
Did you know that there was a guy in England with a Super Fast Supra, and that he was going around 200mph on the highway plus videotaping all the action at the same time?
All I know is that he got arrested for that somehow [I've never heard of police cars going 200mph..]
Does anyone have any more info on this?

Talk about your incriminating evidence LOL.

I am suprised the TT was not in front. How could you tell it was one of Lingenfelters?

Oh man, what a dream. I'd almost be honored to be blown by in my GS-R by cars of this caliber (hey!! don't knock it, it's pretty fast!! :) ). Although actually, like crash pointed out, what distinguished the Lingenfelter TT C5 from GM's stock version? I can't remember if it sports large visual tip-offs (particularly hard to see at such a high speed). And hey, you know what? Even if it was "just a GM Corvette C5," it's still pretty damn cool to see it with a GTS and a 911 Turbo. I mean how many times (if any at all) in your lifetime will you get to see something like that?

porsche911

Yeah, I've seen that video, or maybe it was another one. The one I saw was a guy in either an F40 or F50 (can't remember which) that went very quickly up to 200+ km/hour on a highway in Europe.. perhaps England. It was insane, like the fastest damn thing I has ever seen from that perspective. I was awed by the accelerative power. The guy who made this video was also unfortunate enough to get nabbed by the Police.

wow, I've seen cars of that caliber hauling ass, but not all at once!! sweet man, sweet

A customer/friend of mine has a Viper GTS ACR (one of two in canada he says?) and I've raced him from rolling starts many times just for fun.. when your car is vibrating from his motor over top of your own, you know you're in for it!! :D

Needless to say, he was taking a couple car lengths per gear on me (well one in first, two in second, and about 3 in third, then we stopped racing)

I followed a silver 996 turbo about 2 months back for a good 40 miles, but he never raced :( hehe

Wow! Once I saw a race between a 300ZX, a Celica, and an Integra...I thought I had a cool experience. They were all red and were swerving between cars down main street! It was pretty cool.

I once saw a video from inside a McLaren F1 while it made a top speed run. Crazy. I also saw a cockpit video of one race a Veilside Supra (It KILLED it). Got both videos from ScourX

the 300zx probably won the race :D

There is pretty much no difference between the Lingenfelter and the regular C5 on the outside. The only differences are: Lingenfelter rims(which are optional), and a small Lingenfelter graphic which is in front of both of the rear wheels, where the brake duct is on the Z06.

Yes, the Z was in front:D

that is sweet!! that's like in a need for speed game!!

There was also a guy who video taped himself doin 200mph in an F40

I'm suprised he found a road where he could reach 200mph.

I don't know the truth to it, but I've heard that the Camaro cop cars and the new Impala cop cars can break 200. Sounds a little fishy to me.

i don't think so

i heard the camaro ones are really fast though, in canada we don't have any highway patrol or anythin..... but we do have the impala cop cars, i think they're going to replace the other ones

I have raced more cars than you can imagine, but I was surprised of the cars I almost beat.

Once I was doing 60 mph on a flat piece of road. There was a Prelude SR on my tail. So I'm driving my modest Nissan Stanza, right?

The guy hauls out to pass and I'm thinkin' it's going to be close, and it was. He finaly made it passed me at 130 mph.

I stop at the bar where he pulls into and his girlfriend, who thinks her man's SR is something 'cause she wouldn't know horsepower if it hit her in the face, get's out of the car and says:

Girl: Man your car's fast!!

Me: Well... not bad for a family car, I guess...

Anybody know the specs on the Lingenfelter ?

Man, Oh man, what that must have been like for you. I have got to say I'm pretty jealous. hahaha... You should have given them chase!

Who are you talking to?

I think the Supra you are talking about is the one tuned by Top Secret (japanese tuner). It has a deep golden color (as seen on all other Top Secret vehicles like the R33 and the MRSpyder). Anyhowz, the owner of TS brought his car from Japan to Europe and was gunning to break the 200mph limit. However I don't believe he broke the record because the police jacked his ass before he could pull it off. He almost went to jail for it, and almost lost his car, but he got out on a huge bail. At least that's how the story went, not sure if he went back to try again. www.mkiv.com reported this story about a year and a half ago, not sure if the article is still on that site.

oh yah, here is Top Secret's japanese web site

and link to the pic of that Supra

how many of those supras did they make, cuz those pics are of 2 different cars. the first one has a big spoiler and the other 2 have little ones.

hehe that was a good observation

the guy got caught because he sold the videos in the stores and
that how he got busted 911

Nowbody's mention anymore F40 stuff on the F40 Guy but, I saw the video and he did 320 km/h on a backroad (In JPN I think) and then he got busted after selling a tape to an Undercover cop.

PS. He was also the president of Japan's Ferrari Club.

its def 2 different Supra's lol..... but witch one was the one that was nailed before hitting 200mph in England?????????

I heard there was a guy that took his Viper ACR, 400 kms to Montreal and he ran out of gas at the airport after having escaped the cops many times. Supposedly Chrysler paid the bail, the fine, etc.

Is this true? Anyone hear of that?

i don't believe that... chrysler wouldn't want somebody to do some criminal type thing.... why would they pay for it?

ive got to say thats bull shit

HEY GUYS... about the police thing and them doing 200 mph.. i think it's possible becuase of the open emissions they get.. i don't think they have to abide by the same street legality rules for their exhaust as us street drivers do so they can go to MAD CRAZY SPEEDS

Whhhhhhhhat I dont think so, why would they pay someone to so crazy????? And yet I do beleave that a person who knew how to drive a viper plus drift and all the goodies could pull that off!!!!! But can't say that I have heard anything of it!!!!:devil:

That's what I thought:D

They sais they bailed him out because he made the car look good.

But I know where to find out for sure.

There is an actor that does car reviews and helps out for the car guides here in quebec and he is supposed to have a rim from that same car. He made a table from it by putting glass over it and has it in his living room. I'll let you guys know.

your story is better than mine, but here's my story.
about 1 year ago, my friend and i were driving home after going out. so it's about 2am and we're cruising on this street that is notorious for having cops on it (speer, for you local people). we're going about 40-45 (it's speed limit is 35) when my friend says "shit man they're hauling ass". i look behind us and i see a yellow viper and a purple diablo going at it. they pass us like we're standing still, run a red light and are gone. they must have been going over 100.
i would've liked to see your race though. that sounds awesome.

WHAT A RACE!
