How Fast Have You Gone

[MarcinTRPLYLW]

Since the last time I got in some massive trouble for speeding I do not speed much anymore lol I'll wait for the summer and go to the track to see what the car is capable of.

Coming up on 100 hours of driving in the car since I bought it, my average speed is just under 20 mph. Includes a lot of city driving with a lot of being stopped at red lights or stuck in traffic, of course:

Pretty good fuel ecomony though Jimmy considering the amount of idling you've got to be doing.

Yeah, I get great fuel economy in highway driving, which averages out with the lousy fuel economy in city driving. On straight highway shots I've gotten 28 mpg.

The thing I love is everyone tries to blame speed for all the accidents. If speed was the issue Germany would have a million deaths per year considering that there are no speed limits over there but what they do have is common sense laws such as if ur caught doing anything else but driving while in the car cops have the right to arrest u (such as deinking a leisure coffee or texting away) 2nd the drivers in nearly the whole world get better training then here. Most countries you have to also take road test with a manual car and know how to drive it in all types of roads.
So my point is instead of crying over speed you should go and cry about all of the other laws that are bad. I person texting and driving is way worse than someone going 130mph in a car that is made for it. Usually the person driving 130 is paying way more attention to the road then any other driver. Also by no means am I saying go speed on any road u can but all of us hopefully have enough common sense to know where and when to do it.

True felt safer driving in Germany at 125 than 75 in Texas ( note this is the speed limit on the highway in question ...just for the few with no sense of humour and those who believe speed limits are set for safety and not ticket revenue... Guess what Santa is not real!)


Note strong believer in going to the track for the wide open throttle fun

With a Whipple SC making 717 HP, 3.15 rear axle, and removal of the speed limiter, you can go over 195 MPH in the GT in a straight line without any mods except for a lower suspension (less air going under the car).

Legally at that. Close to 200mph with a GSXR-1000 eurospec on A9 in Germany

^ What year did you have? With my K7 I went 312.5 Kph (GPS verified). All I had was a slip-on.

well...

To Infinity and beyond!

2K2 full exhaust no tune. Some CF bits. I hit 320KPH, but I accounted for speedo error. Also lost most of my uniform from my backpack in the slipstream.

Here's to good ol' days, when Montana and Nevada didn't have speed limits on their highways.

Hahaha. I could only imagine the reaming from my CO if I lost kit doing something like that. Probably a high five on the way to cells, though, Haha.

Did you have that GPS verified or just on the speedo? My speedo used to read quite high...10-15% over actual. I went off RPM the first few times and also GPS of course.

Just the speedo. Speedo said 320kph, I figured somewhere around 290kph true. I was going to visit one of my soldiers going to school on another kaserne. Looked funny with me walking around in full leathers while I was there.

I'm surprised your speedo actually read that high...didn't that stupid 299 Kph / 186 Mph junk come out around then? I remember seeing that for the first time on my K7...makes no sense.

There's something about hitting insane speeds on a bike, though...MUCH more different/intense than in a car.

Not much above 80 - but a few times I got there REALLY fast...
