137 mph - 2000 Celica GT-S 6th gear just under 6000 RPM, plenty left.:smoker2: :eek: :frog:

Its gonna sound pussy but....

~160 KM/H [~100 MPH]

That was in my old 323, completly stock. It was limited to 160Km/H

I never got to try a top speed run after my engine swap, the car tore 2 trannys (1 auto, 1 std) apart after only 3 wks.

I think ive gone faster than this. My Speedometer in my caprice is the crappy analog verson from the 93's and it only goes up to 140 KM/H.

The Speed limiter has been removed, and ive taken the speedometer needle till I cant even see it anymore, but I dont have anyone that will pace with me with a decent speedometer, so I have no clue :confused:

About 220km/hr (approx 136 miles) in a friend's GTR Skyline.

110 in my '90 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. Ran out of road and didn't dare push it any further.

about 105 in my bird I was passing someguy and had some friends with me so I was really just dickin' around I think the gov. won't allow it to go above 120. I really don't go that fast anymore. cause I'm afraid the engines gonna blow (it's pretty much done for:( )

I've pushed past 110 in my supercharged Cougar, following, or at least trying to follow, some of my friends who were racing

just yesterday a guy I know got pulled over for doing 147 in a 65 in his 2000 Mustang GT... lucky he had a platinum PBA card or his license mighta been gone, he got it bumped down to 84 in a 65, then about 2 hours later the dummy got another ticket 55 in a 40, think he might have learned his lesson?

I got ticket the day I was doing 137 - Monterey Co, CA - luckily the bird that got me picked me up after i wound down, me and a civic si both got wrote at 89 in 70. still $730 - but i think they made a mistake thats a lot of $$$$ :(

I've hit around 110-115 in my Green 98 Ram 1500 (bone stock with a 5.2 ltr engine) well over the 120 speedometer needle in my Blue 98 Ram 1500 (the one in the signature) tapped 100 in my moms Durango (2002 4.7 ltr bone stock 4X4) hit around 105 in my sister's 2000 Durango (4.7 ltr bone stock 4X4) around 105 in my best friends 93 Lightning (5.8ltr with a few bolt-ons, nothing major)

I have this addiction..... its called adrenaline, and the only way that I get massive adrenaline rushes is by going fast.....

:flash: :D

I got up to 115 just yesterday in my 96 accord. couldnt go any faster, it wouldnt let me

280 kmh (175 mph) in the audi , relaxed , at night , on a long , empty and unrestricted highway in Germany...
I'm sorry , but i just couldn't resist... You must feel really pissed that other countries don't have unrestricted roads... I do too...:( , but luckily i live close to germany:D:flipa::finger:


And about 270 kph (169 mph) on a 110 (69 mph) road here in Poland ,not the smartest thing, the boost was too high , because i was still trying out different turbo settings , and it started making weird sounds so i slowed down , and this saved my license probably because there was a police patrol just when i slowed down , i consider myself really lucky with that one.

$730 that is a lot, here in NJ I believe that would be just under $200, but there are different laws, as the highest speed limit here is 65 and can only be found on the 3 major major highways in the state, everything else is 55 or lower...

i just barely made it to 100 in my stock 93 civic in a 70 zone in downtown, kinda busy but not really so...ill never do it again lol. i just had to do it once.

i best never get caught otherwise i will be in deep...dooo

126mph in a 70 at 9:00pm saturday! Not the smartest thing I've done. Now I'm getting another engine, a 383 with 550 horsepower in two weeks! Can't wait to see what she's got to offer!

raced one of my buddies down rt 495 late at night doing about 120, dropped back, gave about an 1/8 mile of space, nailed the loud pedal, and blew by at 165mph....... i'm starting to believe my friends when they tell me i've got a few nuts loose in my head...

I went about 175-180 mph in my moms CLK AMG 55 on the zuffenhausen autobahn going north out of stuttgart, germany...but i got passed by a Porshe Carrera 4s...

120 mph:(

Yeah , i'm only waiting until it'll get warmer and the snow'll go off , and then we'll see... She just had the clutch replaced lately , and a major service was done , so she should go like a dream , i don't know thought , because i don't use it in the winter. I would only fire her up like once a month , and keep the engine on for some time , because it wouldn't be good for her to stand like 4 months without doing nothing about her... I basically deconnect the battery so it won't get empty , and come 1-2 times a month to fire the testa up.... She's not at my house , it's in a garage near my dad's factory , if it was at my home i'll probably do it more often... Althought my dad won't give her to me that easily , not that he doesn't trust me or so , he just drives her all the time when it gets warm...
And the fastest I've been in? I wanted to sell the Audi and buy myself a Nowack M5 (530 hp) and i went over to nowack and drove their M5 up to around 310... (Of course i have had some nowack employee with me , but he let me do it , so i did:) ) I've never checked the top speed of the testarossa thought , because i have never took her to germany...

did 135 in mom's mitsu galant... my truck is governed @ 100mph i GOTTA take that thing off!!!

I've done between 150 and 170km/h before racing rice rockets,
they usually start to lose bad by the time we hit 120 cuz the Bonnevilles got the top end in the V6.

About the fastest i've pushed her is about 200km/h. I'm not sure, but
i think that's somewhere between 120 and 140mph.

That was when i was racin a 2002 Jetta and a 2000-2001 Grand Am GT.

I wish there were more accurate mph indicators on Canadian speedometeres, the Bonneville doesn't even have one! mine doesn't anyways........:rolleyes:

It's simple to convert from km/h to mph! 1 mile per hour = 1.6 kilometers per hour. So to go from km/h to mph just divide by 1.6.

You said you've down 200, well 200/1.6 = 125 mph.

Personnally fastest I've gone is 155mph in my cousins stock 91 protege GT.

I have hit 85mph in my stock Chevy Caprice. Well actually 85 is where my speedo stops. I went past that until it hit a max speed bar. Then I went even further. Im sure the needle was close to breaking off, but the car didn't even top out. I could still feel it accelerating. A guess at my speed then was probibly near 120mph before I called it quits.

I got my integra up to 125 and i was still accelerating, but i was coming up on some stop lights. I did about 110 in my prelude on the freeway, and ive only hit like 95 in my rex. i got a ticket for going 80+ in a 55 and my ticket was only like $145. You got screwed man.

I've done 134 in my bone stock 97 mazda protege. :finger:

cuz ur truck friggin sux! and so does ur mommies galant! ha ha just kiddin' jimbob

Just yesterday on the way home from the GP of Miami on the turnpike I did 146mph in the XJR. I was racing a 2001 Mustang GT, that was a hell of a time.
~VINCE

I got a new number for you. i was driving home from a basketball game in ogden and i saw an E55 coming up fast, so i sped up to 110 but then i saw flashing lights up ahead so i stopped there. the girl driving the E55 was hot too!

105mph for me in a stock 93 accord. Then I got passed by an identical car to mine, so I know it'll do better. I get nervous on the highway going that fast even though going down the same exact piece of highway every day for about 6 months and I've only seen the state patrol about 5-6 times. I gotta move to germany :D

just today i hit a tad over 120mph (my speedo only goes to 120) in a 35 zone.

but the fastest i think ive gone was in my friends 89 chevy truck with a 350, the speedo only goes to i think 90mph, but the little thingy wraps around and starts again, we wrapped it completely around to 55 :eek: and its like 10 or so mph before the line reappears at 0. we estimated we were doing 145mph or so in a stock-suspension chevy truck, scary stuff.

oh yeah a couple times i hit 600-something mph in an airliner. :D

136 in my (dead) 97 accord
142 in my 92 prelude
196 on my friends r1
650ish on an airplane
*all stats are in mph* :)

ive buried the needle in my 87 lesabre, and it goes to 85 and i was well off of that, even after i slowed down it took awhile to get back on it. the buicks an animal! 205hp, 200ft/lbs its pretty fast

and this past weekend in my friends 92 explorer we killed the needle and had it all the way to D under the speedometer and where the gears are shown spedometer also reads 85

i imagine in my car i was at about 110
and in the explorer at about 100

135mph,the only reason i slow down is saw a cop light.:D

speedometer indicated low 140's redline in 5th gear, very scary but still remarkably stable. this was on I95 at about 3am with no traffic at all. going that fast wasnt a problem and longer gearing may have gotten me to the 150's, braking was what made me nervous or slowing down period.. it was basically to see if the car was aerodynamicaly speed limited or gear limited and i never plan on going anywhere near that fast again.

try going that fast in a full-size truck. It was the greatest adrenaline rush I've ever had... but good lord at the insanity. I can't say that I wouldn't do it again... but I will say that I won't do it in a non-performance oriented truck, I think the SRT10 RAM should be fun to do it in.... lol, can't wait to try one of these days (HEY everyone has a right to dream)

does a motorcycle count? My father has a R1 with a turbo on it, and I had it up to 170 on the backroads of the Palouse in washington, and our father-son project car 240z with 400 chevy and 6 speed went 160 till we threw a rod. not shitting you guys either. It doesn't take very long on a motorcycle to max out, and in the nw of the us, there are lots of unpatolled straight-aways.

I managed to get up to 115 today. :D :D

I feel so proud of my car...

98 in my sad little pathetic camry. man I need to start puttin gin more work towards a mr2 turbo.

oh and FasterthanU where in mass do you live? I am north of boston on 495. Andover.

120MPH on the freeway around 10PM at night, did it several times while holding a camera on one hand filming the road and the speedometer with crazy ass wind blowing all over the place... i swear i could've flown if i tried to.

haha i did that too, see my sig?

I paced my friends 97 Accord in my dads '94 GMC Sierra 1500 at 110, hit 105 in a '84 Olds, and followed up wit 120 in my '93 Accord:smoka:

100 mph here in switzerland you have to be very careful with speeding it can cost your license very quickly:(

A R1 with a turbo set at even .50 bar will generate something like 195 horsies. Getting up to 170 with normal teeth settings would probably only take about 15 seconds or so.

Did he change the teeth on the sprockets at all? if he did the speedometer could have been reading slower then you were going because R1 speedometer is off the gearbox.

Fastest I have been was in a rented Alfa Romeo 166 3.0 V6 doing 255 km/h (159 mph) on the Autobahn A81
between
Singen and Stuttgart.

I have driven several cars until today and of course I ve seen topspeed and made pics from all of them (You can see
all of
them on http://come.to/need4speed). Here are the figures:

Seat Leon 1.8 T 20V, 240 km/h
Volvo S60 2.4 A, 225 km/h
Fiat Punto GT, 225 km/h
Opel Astra Caravan 1.6, 210 km/h
Renault Clio 1.4, 202 km/h
Mazda 121, 180 km/h
VW Beetle, 136 km/h

Send in also pics of your car to prove how fast you have really been.

138 uphill going over the Buchman bridge/I-295 @ 4:00 am racing some old ass BMW...



P.S.>needless yo say he got smoked!

Anyone from the Norteast Florida or Jacksonville area give me a shout!

@neutrino: Yes these figures are downhill, on a flat stretch of the road there are usually 10-15 km/h less on the speedometer. But there is alway a challenge downhill, how far will the speedometer needle go ;-)
In the Clio (80HP) I have managed 202 km/h and made a picture of it only a few weeks ago. It was a long downhill and the personal best (until today), cruising speed is about 185 km/h on a flat strech of the road (I'll put it to the need4speed site, as soon as I have scanned it).
In the Astra (100HP) I have even managed 215 km/h, but the best pic I could make was at 210 km/h.
P.S. I know that the speedo is very optimistic at those speeds, so if the speedo shows 202 km/h, real speed will be somewhere around 190 km/h, but this is still very fast for such a small car.

many regards
Michael

@Idelaysionl: great pic, send it also to speedopics@hotmail.com

The links to my pics and the site will work again on april 17th. so please have a little patience.

many regrards

im gonna have to throw up the bs flag on this one :P

124 on '92 ninja

Sweet, all my fellow 2 wheelers are commin out to play :)

Do any of you own bikes or were ya just riding a friends?

160 mph in Active Autowerk stage 2 turbo m3 on the Nj parkway.
:rocket:

115mph in a 45. It was a backroad and I wanted to see what my car would do. Hit the governor at 115 in OD at just under 3000rpm. It borderlines at 5250 and reds at just ever 7000.

Hit another 115 and held it for 7 miles but I dont think she apreciated it. I'm sorry baby. =(

140mph when my GT was bone-stock. Who knows what the top-speed is now, at 19, i'm more worried about losing my license than when i was 16. Have I lost my balls? no, i just accelerate harder now...hehe...

115 mph on I-95. (55 zone) stock civic DX. anymore and i think she would have fallen apart, or blown up.

I went 196MPH in a Race BMW done by motronix motorsport.

Its a 93 m3 with a 96 otr 97 m3 engine fully done for mosport and dinnan supercharged making 612 real wheel horsepower and it weighs 2300 lbs.

NEVER AGIAN.

wow thats possible in a stock civic? mine would never get over 93mph, except for one special time it got to 105.

for getting a stock lower model civic that fast i give u much recognition :p

i got my 89 crx turbo'ed up to a good 210 km
but then it started gettin mad wables...

any one from canada holla at me civic_servant@hotmail.com

Stock Civic DX (brand new) too, got it goin at around 115mpg (+-2mph) but the steering wheel went unstable so i slowed down...after that it would choke before getting to 105.

145 MPH on the Vegas strech from S.California.1989 Mitsubishi Mirage Turbo 4G63t

i've taken my integra GS-R to 143, its pretty easy to get to that speed with a GS-R.

You do realize that a stock GSR runs out of gear at like 150, and it doubt it has the aerodynamics to stay stable at that speed.

Anyways. Fastest i've gone is about 160, and it starts to get INCREDIBLY scary at that speed:eek:

me driving: my '97 STI Version 4...180KPH+ on the Tomei...limiter kicked in and an S2000 (limiter obviously cut) blew by me...I figure I got at least 190 before I got pulled back tho...was only at about 5000rpm

my friend driving: HCR31 (Skyline GTS-R)...somewhere around 260 KPH on the Tomei...

not too many places you can race on the highways here in the Tokyo area anymore...well, at least not without getting caught...cameras everywhere, not to mention cops with GT-Rs and NSXs...rumors of a Porsche too...

You do realize that a stock GSR runs out of gear at like 150, and it doubt it has the aerodynamics to stay stable at that speed.

what are you talking about... i wouldnt lie about this.. ive taken my car to that speed more than twice and would gladly take you on a ride, and my car probabaly have better aerodynamics than your 93 mustang..

138mph uphill

125mph @ 4000rpm in 4th gear in a volvo T5 that was 2000rpm of more boost!!!

110mph on the long island expressway (maaaaad cops) with 2000 more revs to go in 5th. i was tooo scared to get caught everytime i try to top out my car casue if i get caught i'm basically fucked. that and the fact that my speedo only goes up to 120mph.

Cops driving GTRs... Now thats a scary thought :eek: Are they police package GTRs? ie. not stock?

hey what did you do about the speed limiter of the car. coz i know a stock car wont get that fast just because of the speed limiter.

yeah...not sure where the new ones are tuned, but I do know that the R32 and R33 GT-Rs were tuned at Electra. There's something that I've adhered to here...unless your car can clear the 300kph mark, don't run from the highway cops. whether or not its true, I'd rather not find out. speeding fines aren't as bad as Finland, but damn are they expensive. A friend got one for going 40kph over the limit...$500 fine...he got lucky. There are fines that can go upwards of several thousands of dollars.:eek:

The speedomiter read ~ 115 and it was only at 4k RPM and it maxes out at 7.5. I also have larger tires than stock so maybe around 120 in a Yellow Ford Escape.

My Nova.. old engine 350 w/ 280-310hp 320-340ft/lbs tq (weak sauce!) with 3.90 gears... maxed out at 130ish at about 4800rpm...


speedo only goes to 120

but i figure we did about 130... cause we held it for 18 miles at 4 A.M. trying to get home in a hurry in about 11 minutes. had 2 friends in the car with me who were on constant highway patrol alert.

we passed a minivan who was probably doing 80ish like it was standing still.

its fun letting go of the steering wheel at 120+ and the car tracks straight... even takes the curves with out any input to the wheel (only if the freeway is banked correctly! < this is for the LA drivers who have a gun in one hand and a cell phone, drink, baby, newspaper, putting on make up with the other hand. so we dont have to use our hands to drive!)


Ask Terminal Velocity he was riding shotgun ... i think he wanted to stick his head out the window and yell at passing cars (not many at 4am).. i said it would 'disrupt the air flow' and we'd crash... so he didnt.

havent done much highspeed stuff with new drive train

THATS GREAT!!!!!!

LMAO I wish our roads were that good....... if you've got the balls to do over 100MPH for over a short burst... you've either got a car that can handle like a DREAM or balls of steel.......

handles like a dream?... at the time. HECK NO.

I had a collapsed leaf springs in the rear... one of which was tweaked so the right side of the car dipped down... and 2 people sitting on the right side... for some strange reason it still tracked straight! ... hahaha lucky us!

balls of steel? hahah i suppose i like to credit my driving ability.. but how much ability is there to letting go of the wheel? lol.

when it comes to rallying an american beast.. im pretty damn good at it!... but i admit that i've made mistakes I.E. toooo much gas while exiting a right turn and took the car tooo far side ways (was with peg-leg, before Posi was in) lucky for me i was able to recover before traffic caught up and took me out lol. scared the poo out of me at the time... just made me force myself to find a deserted place and teach myself the limits of my own car... being almost 33 years old its limits are pretty low as in the handling department. oh well!

well i've hit the governer on my car many times now. damn 120mph limit!!!

I hit 130mph in 4th gear in my Delorean, and I've only gone to 110mph in the CRX. Both cars were incredibly stable too.:cool:

i've hit my limiter, it limits at 140:bandit:

and that nova, yah, we were hauling balls, probally why the camshaft went to shit not too long after.

But it was fun as hell :hehehe:

Fastest i've lost controll is 50 in my t-bird, crusing along, I get onto a wet part of the road *damned sprinklers* and I see a ton of branches and shit so I swirve, well, the water didnt help me much and I started spinin, I was able to keep from spinin though and go from side to side a bit, then keep going, the guy in the lane next to me dumped a load in his pants, it was helarious :D

If anyone talks smack about this they can shove it, I was in DMC12's delorian doin roughly 120 in 4th, with pleanty to go.

yea, but you guys have interstates.... flat roads, and straight roads..... I'm in Eastern KY... 2 hours form the nearest interstate... and there are toooo many mountains and SHARP turns on the 4 lane to sustain a high speed..... I CONSTANTLY hit 100... and have kicked the speed limiter in on my Green 98 Ram QUITE a few times....... but you can HIT it and they you have to REALLY get on the brakes to make it through the turns...... I'll get some video of my trip to town tonight when I go cruisin.... there is tooo much road work to do a whole lot right now as far a speed, that and I've got 2 tickets pending court dates.

that and they are really startin to crack down on us racers around here.... even went as far as getting some Camaro SS's and they've supposedly got prochargers on them too.... we KNOW they've got some type of handling suspension becuase we saw one rip around some turns like they were nothing and out friend in his SS went and tryed to copy it and COULD NOT....... that and they sit just a tad lower than normal... if you don't know what to look for, you won't notice their cops.....

that and they give our area all the rookies in the state, they have the philosophy of "if you can catch them, you're good enough to catch anyone anywhere" partially cause we're just stupid at the speeds that some of us take these turns...........

that and they give our area all the rookies in the state, they have the philosophy of "if you can catch them, you're good enough to catch anyone anywhere" partially cause we're just stupid at the speeds that some of us take these turns...........


Trust me, I know about the cops and the roads. But really the roads in ky are awsome! The sharp curves and dips are 10x better then any interstate. Anything can go fast in a straight line, boring. The curves are fun and a challenge.

Exactly, I've been out there, and would love to rally around, our freeways have pleanty of turns, and the roads are so rough its almost like a rally course sometimes :hehehe: Also you have a freeway full of people, many of which will take you on, racing with other cars, at speeds of 120 or so, on a toren up freeway with curves and such, its great. :bandit:

Then again, i'd rather race on those mountain roads, especally if theres less people on them.

its definetly a BLAST to drive around here.... but top speeds just aren't possible..... I drive 2 lanes that most people won't go more than 45 on at 90+ in a fullsized Dodge Ram...... if thats not insane I don't know what is really.....

if I had enough money I would LOVE to get WRC around here and have them rip up some of these strip mine roads (50+ miles around mountains, sometimes STEEP, sometimes too rough to go fast) and on some of thour 2 lanes... just to see what kind of speeds they can hit.....

On my old gear box I could pull 215km's. I also flicked past a cop the other day while leaving a 200sx behind through the traffic in town.... whoops! Luckily he was stuck in traffic in a side street and was facing the wrong way, I still remember his face though, lol, he was PISSED

with my truck... hum.... id say 30 mph but that was like the top top top limit of the engine, it overheated after that,


ya it isint a real car, its one of those gas powerd r/c trucks :D

50 kabillion zillion mph

140 mph following a '02 mustang GT out to the street races over a 1-lane bridge......had to change my underwear after that one:bloated:

ok......i'm am extremely pissed off right now!!!! i just wrote a big long thing.....and the server was too busy..and i lost it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok to make a long story short........fastest i've been that i can remember was 230km/h (138mph) in my aunts Mazda ???? in Germany, i was the passenger.........fastest i've been in my car is probably around 170 km/h or something.........speed limits in Canada are too low, and there are cops everywhere.....can't risk the ticket or demerit points.......
haha...
funny story though...
had a shitty ass Tempo maxed out at 150km/h.....i love how the speedo went up to like 200 or something...but at 150 it had nothing left.....maybe if i would have rolled up the windows and went downhill i woulda got her to 160
lol

fastest i ever been is 180 km/h it was in my dodge challenger 6 265 hemi, built it as a sleeper

165(top speed is 175 on the car but physics blows) on a friends 66 Shelby GT 350 he wasnt around and it wasnt my car so i figured i take it for a spin with some friends he never did find out

172 mph in a Lamborghini Miura SV is my flat out record. Ohio has some great flat stretches in the rural areas for that sort of thing. But the best sensation of speed I ever got was in a friend's 1965 Chevy Corvair Monza coupe. At 115mph on a hilly gravel road, I was watching this guy saw at the wheel to try and keep us between the crop rows. It was intense, and pretty scary since the car had no seatbelts and a bare metal dash.:uhoh:

you lucky son of a.......

Actually, cousin of a guy who handles a lot of Bobby Rahal's advertising and collects cars by the truckful. Up until he traded it, he used to own Roger Penske's personal Ferrari 308. (bright red-orange instead of Ferrari red and had a totally different chin spoiler) I get around in the automotive world.

I know this is totally irrilavant but

1.6 liters of displacement doesn't make you slow. 5.0 liters doesn't make you fast. But what does 1.5 liters of pushrod straight four make you? An MGB.

I love that tag line, it says alot. *points to the 5.0 part* I'm glad someone besides a chevy or ricer said it, alot of fox body mustang boys and gals think they are deadly fast because they have a gt, a -stock- gt. I've proven maby wrong to their suprise at a boat of a luxery car beating them. I can just immagine what their expressions would be with a MGB beating them.

*chuckles*, Well TV (do you mind if I call you TV, if not, can I call you Frank), I'm sure they'd be surprised by it, but first they'd have to recognize it. You have no idea how many people under the age of 30 have never seen an MGB GT. Once at a drive-in, a person actually asked me "dude, where did you get those fat Daytons?"

Also, I have to change my tagline. After cleaning off some of the crud in the engine bay during a carb rebuild (former owner not using a lead additive, he must rot in hell) I found the engine ID plate. I have a 1.8L OHV four! Oh happy day. (but there are still 1.5L MGB's, I won't change it)

See...

Once at a drive-in, a person actually asked me "dude, where did you get those fat Daytons?"

Lol im in the under 20 crowd ive seen a few MGs and MGBs theyre fun cars to drive but the doors need major TLC when closing i broke my friends door on his(im guessing it was MG by the badge on the steeringwheel) but all the Xterior badges were gone. the engine was different too it was a 89 RX7 3 rotor

118 in my civic and 175 in my dad's friend's z06. pretty good i guess?

600 mph..............in a boeing 767.:D

Unfortunally I dont recall ever seeing one. And yes, call me TV! HAHA, people watch me. But it must be awesome having a car which is above most peoples knowlage.

Fastest i've gone in a plane, that i've flown was about 200 in a barrel roll. :D

147 mph in my 95 Cobra around 4 AM one Sunday morning. I could feel the car lifting off the road so I slowed down. I'd have loved to see the other guy's face [he was going the speed limit in the slow lane] as I passed him.........russtang

21mph down a hill on my mountain bike. It was scary.:eek:

He must of been having a pyschoatic episode.

135 after break in period on my old 87 RX-7 turbo..................woohaa.....that was fun

You're right TV, having a car that the average high school punk doesn't recognize and having it able to blow his doors off stock is great. But what I love even more about owning the B is how connected you feel when you drive it. There's no power steering or power brakes, no sychro on reverse, you have to match revs when shifting because the gearbox is full of straight cut gears, and because you're on bias-ply tires only about half an inch wider than Calista Flockhart's waist you have to be careful with the throttle. It's making me into a much better driver. Plus chicks love it. They think it's adorable, but in a good way. Not like they think Miatas or New Beetles are adorable.

This is off the subject, but does anyone ever wonder about the intelligence of the people who post? For example, the title of this thread, "whats the fastest u have went?"..........what kind of grammar is that!?!?!? Did someone skip elementary school or something?:confused:

Hookt on foniks durnt wurk fur evree bode.

Apparently not. Hope this doesn't start another flame war, it wasn't directed at anyone....well I guess it was directed at celica-zen, nevermind.:D

Just because someone says "u" instead of "You" doesn't mean the person is stupid............I use "U" all the time. It's just a short form, so you don't have to type as much.

I wasn't talking about that, I was talking about his poor grammar, a.k.a use of the word "went"....it should be gone
it would either be:
"what's the fastest you went?"
or
"what's the fastest you have gone?"
but not
"what's the fastest you have went?" because that is a double-past-tense, "have" and "went"

sorry, had to do it.

Kind of a story behind this one...

I was working night shift at Mervyns about 3 years ago during the christmas season, (the job sucked ass if you're wondering), I got out late, as in around 1:00 am. I hopped in my little '92 Nissan hardbody P/U. It's not fast, just gets me there really, but it's kinda fun to hot rod sometimes. Have any of you guys just gotten into the mood to stomp the gas or Hot rod the shit out of your car, just for fun? Well I was in one of those moods, so I did! I live in Bakersfield and was up near the top of Mt. Vernon which is on the outskirts of the city heading towards Tehachapi. A guy in a 70's Cadillac decided to have some fun with me, so I went with it (yes I knew he'd win). The stoplights were green all the way to the overpass at California (about 1 1/2-2 miles) and the street was almost deserted, don't ask why it was, because I don't know. Have you ever absolutely revved your engine to the max? I scared the shit outta myself because I was seriously expecting to see lifters flying through the hood of my truck it was revved so hard. 115-120... in a residential neighborhood...for about 2 miles straight. Probably the stupidest... yet goddamn funnest thing I've ever done. He kicked my ass and was probably hitting 130+ by the time we slowed for the stoplight. Talk about brake fade! I was still in the mood to stomp it and there hadn't been a single sign of cops, so when I got on the freeway to Tehachapi I kept it topped in 5th gear all the way up the hill, which is no mean feat if you've ever driven that grade before! The thing thats cool about the Bak. - Teh. route is that if you're going to Teh. you can take the Keene road off of Hwy. 58. Now THAT is a fun road at night! It's a curvy cliff road and at night you can see oncoming cars from the headlights, so the whole road is yours to play on with the warning it provides. It cost me almost 1/2 a tank of gas, (for a 4 cylinder thats a shitload) and my truck never has run quite the same again, but every once in a while, you have to have fun. BTW, a little over 20 minutes. Not bad for that drive!
