gOOters April 3, 2003 Share gOOters Member April 3, 2003 Have you driven?? How fast have you ridden?? DO NOT go out and try to post up a big number or start a competition here. If I see this happening, I will permanently remove this topic. Be honest, let us know what kind of car?? RX-7 (test drive WITH the salesman years ago) - 137mph Camero SS - (test drive W/O salesman) - 147 in 5th gear! I had to hit teh brakes about a mile before the traffic ahead just to feel safe. That was my happiest moment ever...well close anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunman April 3, 2003 Share Gunman Member April 3, 2003 When I rode with you Magruter you were going much faster than that. Fastest I have ever gone would be about 115 with my new car. (Had to test the acceleration so I raced a guy at a stoplight the day I got it) hehe! Gunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty April 3, 2003 Share Fatty GC Founder April 3, 2003 I think I made it up to 120, slowly, in my Talon. I know that Mini drove it faster than I did. I believe I rode at around 130+ in a Cutlas (Mini, what kind of car was Schmitty's?) Supreme...some muscle type thing. We always laughed that we could actually see the fuel gauge falling as we drove. Test drove that Cobra a few weeks back....I let off near 120 and she still wanted to go go go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gOOters April 4, 2003 Author Share gOOters Member April 4, 2003 Probably because you WERE about to get sucked off the bike foolio. That Yammer is one sweet ride. I wouldn't mind having one, but I have this thing about riding on the back of bikes, snowmobiles, waverunners...I dont like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Mmmm]Homer April 4, 2003 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member April 4, 2003 Fatty rides?! I've top-speed tested everything I've owned. 78 Celica - 104 mph, stock 69 TR6 - 102mph, smaller than stock tires 91 CRX - 129mph, stock 69 Charger - 120mph and I had to back off, got a severe driveline vibration, prolly would have done high-130's with 3.23 gearset and tires I had on it. Freshly restored, run-in built 383. 69 Dodge p/u - broken speedo, but low gearing, est. 95. Stock 318ci. 72 'Cuda - @ 110 I was risking it all on old tires in this rust bucket. 383/4spd/3.91 gearing 95 Civic Si - 127mph, stock. 74 Honda CB360 - 87mph, slight downhill, tailwind, tucked in, and farting as much as I could for extra thrust. stock '00 BMW R1100R - 126mph indicated, book says 119mph max. tho I have a windscreen, otherwise stock.

Fatty April 5, 2003 Share Fatty GC Founder April 5, 2003 Here's the bike I used to own: 1984 Honda Interceptor 750 I got scared at 110. There's something a little different about flying through the air at 110 without a steal cage all around you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General J April 7, 2003 Share General J Member April 7, 2003 That YZF is my DREEEEAAAMMM bike! I plan on having, in the future, my truck, sports car, and my bike. Don't think I would be crazy enough to get to 100 on a bike though, but that could change very quickly! And I am with goot on the not liking to ride on the back of things. Riding on a waverunner with my girlfriend was driving me crazy because I didn't know what her crazy driving was gonna do to us next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwEEziL April 7, 2003 Share dwEEziL Member April 7, 2003 I have gone around 120mph in my mustang (just a bottom of the barrel 97) on this stretch of I-64 in Kentucky from Ashland to Lexinton...seriously, that 1.5 hour strectch (if that) is the most boring road I have ever ridden on. I have been kind of nervous to go fast ever since I was 12 and my dad and I got into a motorcycle/car accident. We were on the motorcycle and a car didn't see us and pulled out. I had a compound fracture of my tibia and fibula and he was in a semi-coma for 11 days. My clanmate and buddy Max_Kill-Joy has went around 160 on his bike, a Honda CBR900.

Chief April 7, 2003 Share Chief Member April 7, 2003 I went (fast) in a ZR-1 as a passenger. He never let me drive it. I've been a little over 130 in an M3 as a passenger. I cannot afford to risk driving it. I've been an unknown number over 85 in an ported, polished, blue printed beauty of an '85 IROC. The speedo pegged out past 85 and it was several seconds before it back to 85 under HARD breaking. I'm ballparking 120-140. But it's just an estimate based off of how hard I was braking and how it slowed down. Chief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Bean April 8, 2003 Share Mad Bean Member April 8, 2003 A buddy of mine had a CBR900RR and he used to let me ride whenever I wanted to. The bike was scary fast. Never got the nerve to go fast on it, but it was definitely capable of throwing you off the back if you tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
