The "How Fast Did You Drive Today" Thread

[Secret Chimp]

0-60 in 2 seconds cuz you don't have to shift out of first, right?

I dunno what it is yet, but it puts my back through the seatback foam into the top of the frame.

[hotrodalex]

That's quite the first gear.

Kinda has to be that way when there's only 3 gears.

Might have hit 130mph last night.

You didn't hear it from me.

I guess you really want that third speeding ticket.

Cop don't venture out into west bumfuck.

S4 has good brakes too.

Is that your dad's car?

Is that your dad's car?

I wish.  My friend's dad's A6 is in the shop, and he got another S4 loaner car.

130 last night for about 5 miles and then stayed over 110 for another 20 miles.  



one of our guys started a chase and I got in line in the #2 spot hehe

100 today, with prolonged 90mph cruising.  I25 between FoCo and Cheyenne is begging for a higher speed limit.

Is it 80 mph right now?

[cawimmer430]

Hit 215 km/h a few days back. But lately I take it a bit slow since my summer tires are so used-up and won't pass the next T?V...

[S204STi]

Is it 80 mph right now?

75.  Should be 85, or, like the autobahn, changed based on conditions.  Because when it's clear it's a cake road, but in the winter it can be deadly.

[Eye of the Tiger]

78 MPH in the VAN on five cylinders!

[cawimmer430]

Hit 190 km/h today, but backed down. Fuel prices are kinda high right now and my tires are so used up.

I also hit 45,000 km today! 155,000 km more to go before my engine supposedly craps out and falls apart!  

[S204STi]

145kph (90mph) cruise much of the way back today.

[Rupert]

Hope you got a fat raise to compensate for all the speeding tickets you're about to get.

[S204STi]

Haha... yeah.

[Speed_Racer]

Hit 120 in the MR2 on the way out to Vegas a few weeks ago. That's the highest speed I've hit since I bought the car.

[Rupert]

Whoa, I didn't know those cars would do that.

[Speed_Racer]

That's near it's aero limited top speed. It was on a long downhill section and I still had some revs before redline, but that's all it could do. 1980's design doesn't cut through the air well.

[Rupert]

Well, now I feel like it's a 1980's speed competition!

[Speed_Racer]

Bring it!

[Rupert]

Lemme finish my paint project, and I will find a long downhill. Might need Snoqualmie Pass.

[S204STi]

110 briefly, mostly just around 81 though.

I want to ride in a car with you sometime.  You sound like a fun driver, man.

If Jacob were still here he could testify to my effectiveness in that regard.

I think I dreamt that he posted here a while back.

[cawimmer430]

You guys won't hear of me speeding for awhile since my summer tires are so used up. Their profiles are so low. Below the limit of 3 mm. My next T?V is coming up in July and by then I need new tires or pay an expensive fine for "neglecting my car".  

These days I'm taking it slow at 130-160 km/h.

[S204STi]

That's mainly a problem in the rain, m8.

My used tires?

Well it did rain today and in the rain, even with fresh summer tires, a BMW 1-Series 5-Door hatch with no weight in the trunk is very tail-happy, even at low speeds. Thankfully I usually have some heavy photographic equipment back there which helps...
