The "How Fast Did You Drive Today" Thread

[Rupert]

You could get into a lot of trouble for that, dude.  Make sure you know the consequences....


The speed I hit yesterday (I haven't driven yet today) was about 30 mph.  I was fucking gunning it out there....

BTW, Dave, the way you talk about it, it sounds like all this speeding and "misbehaving" turns you on.

Sure, man.  

"Turn on" is a bit of a strong term, but I have long found some of that stuff fun.  I'm sure a lot of people do.  Breaking rules gave me a bit of a rush as a teenager and it never fully went away.

But if you're right, yesterday was a real dud, since I never got over 30 mph....

Heading down to M?hldorf in an hour. I'm gonna put that Autobahn on fire with the 118i!

I still haven't crack 100 mph in the miata yet.  I'll eventually need to see how 105-110 feels with the top down

Driving fast with the top down in my dads 500SL is a rape experience for the ears. It's not fun and is actually unhealthy for your hearing.

I've done 120 with the top up and it's crazy how much wind there was, even with the windows closed. 110 with the top down wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I got the S2000 to 125 with the top down. If I stretched up and leaned back, it was brutal, but by leaning a little forward and scrunching down a little, it wasn't bad at all.

Yeah I hunched down over the wheel when I did 110.

Pfft at least I drive top down all the time whenever possible.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Topless Vette @ 150 has zero wind noise. Couldn't hear the wind over the sound of myself screaming in my head.

I hit 3000 miles this morning and decided to try a 0-60 and a "see how fast I can go and still be comfortable without he vehicle" run.

0-60 in the 7 range
118 and it still felt relatively solid.

I continue to be more and more impressed with my truck.

Averaging about 18 since I bought it right now.

Most gas stations around here are now only offering E10. That E10 shit is expensive. Just the other day I tanked 29 liters of the stuff for 50 Euros! WHAT THE FUCK!? 

E10 is more expensive than just gasoline? That makes no sense...

When I was putting premium into the SVT, I'd try to fill at Shell because their 91 octane was the only one that was guaranteed to be ethanol free.

I wouldn't want to be seen dead in a Miata. 

[cawimmer430]

It is here.  

Virtually all gasoline stations here only offer diesel, E10 and super (and some offer a 'performance' super fuel which is just marketing hype).

I don't touch the stuff. I only used it on two occasions as the gas station I was at only had E10 because everyone else had emptied the super storage tanks. E10 is very controversial here and some studies claim it leaves water behind in the engines which ultimately destroys them.

I drove though a piece of I-15 in UT today with an experimental 80 mph limit. Of course, it was in a giant old work truck with mud tires...

[Payman]

Took bro's Viper out yesterday, and despite the crappy NL roads around here, hit 215 kph.

Speed kills. How many people did you crash into?

[Rupert]

Thirteen, but it was OK, because our truck was a lot bigger.

[cawimmer430]

So much traffic on the Autobahn today. Only managed this and 170 km/h later on.

[Rupert]

100 MPH on Thurs, cruised at 90 for a while today. 944 is rock solid at 100.

F*ck you.   

[cawimmer430]

Just a slow 130/140 km/h on the way back to Munich. Just filled up the car and will be doing business around Bavaria in the next few days. I'll be driving in economical cruising mode on the Autobahns.

[CALL_911]

Hit an indicated 82 mph today.

[Laconian]

I did 50 in a 25 up a hill, because the Cayman S downshifted and took off in front of me, which made me hit the downshift paddle... which lurched the car into 1st gear. "What the heck," I thought, so I floored the throttle and made VTAK sing.

Then I went down to 25, just in time for the speed trap at the top of the plateau

[S204STi]

100 indicated on the bike.

[68_427]

65mph with all 4 windows down, sunroof open, and Metallica blasting.  I played air guitar, air drums, and sang into an air microphone.

Hoy shit.  I think you get the prize.  That must have been pretty fun.

It would have been pretty funny if Mr. Squeaky Clean Boy Scout had gotten snagged in that speed trap...
