bmx1lew Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 fastest i've ever gone is 120 on the speedo, 112 on the gps, the needle just bounces, need to get the limmiter off however im not that botherd at the moment i mainly want 0 - 60 time's i do think 176 is a bit wild, as long as the motorway was clear then fair play any car's about i think you should look at thinks from a different view, i always think of it as, if i had a child in my car and some one crashed into me due to wanting a rush or race i would tear there arm off and beat them with the wet end ( not the child) but like i say if you judge the situation and it was a long safe strip, clear then put the pedal to the floor, however what worrys me, 176 mph what happens if you have a blow out? also what if you wiz past some police, do you use any devices and can you slow down in time?

tDR Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I think these threads highlight which owners have a Supra for whatever other reason and the owners that have them because they are real petrolheads with a speed addiction. Some people do drugs, some people go drinking all the time, some people gamble but for me it's the high octane rubber burning adrenaline rushing addiction of speed. Whilst the thread poster could have been more subtle and perhaps kept the exact speed to themselves, I can relate and have been known to approach the lower right hand side of the speedo. In fact when mapping it is necessary. Sorry to hear of your misfortune and hope you get it sorted soon coldflame Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JODY T Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 We all Drive Fast cars... If we didnt drive them fast we might as well buy a metro.. I think the trick is not to be so open about it... least not in the public section... I think everyone has been guilty of 'Hmmm I wonder how fast it is' If coldflame had of posted in the driving cronicals and said 'I just blew away a GTR @ 1** leptons' Hed be getting a pat on the back 'Good Kill' Some things are best left not said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I agree with your point that from many people's point of view, 130mph and 176mph are pretty much equally crazy. However, there is a big difference in terms of braking distance. A 46mph increase is 35% faster, which equates to 1.82 times the k.e. and a corresponding 82% increase in stopping distance. Despite the perception of the public, that's a huge difference. Yes certainly, but 130 is still almost double our maximum speed limit, so no-one can really get on a high horse, especialy if they have had their j-specs delimited.

Ian C Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 What about that Carrera GT?

jevansio Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 "Some people do drugs, some people go drinking all the time, some people gamble but for me it's the high octane rubber burning adrenaline rushing addiction of speed" For me gambling takes it every time, it pays for the other 3 (joke BTW, I don't do drugs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 (joke BTW, I don't do drugs) No but I do, while driving at 17* leptons..........what, thats ok aint it, I * it out This thread has been a good read, with a lot of very valid points for a change, I feel like I have learnt something tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I did a silly speed once, I admit it. I woke up the next morning with a completely flat tyre! It made me realise that it doesn't matter how well prepared your car is, there is so much that can go wrong, and badly wrong at these speeds. Some of us have 13 year old cars capable of these speeds with lots of worn parts. I was very lucky. Drive safely guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Saying doing 130 is less stupid than 176 is like saying shooting 2 people is less illegal than shooting 3 people. Crazy logic. You hit a car on the motorway at 70, you'll probably walk away (as my mate did the other day, though at 65). You hit a car at 130 its gonna be messy. Glad your car is back on the road though. Can't believe how unbothered you are by it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 all up and running again with a brand new HKS T04Z and a HKS titainium exuast fitted pics to follow Why such a small and overhyped turbo Attitudes and personal opinions are quite amusing. One guy saying that its OK to drive at this speed and another saying the opposite. Makes me chuckle a tad as half of the people that chastise the loudest have themselves done similar speeds. Saying I only did it once and the conditions were the best ever etc etc is the same as a virgin having unprotected sex only the once and telling herself she can't get pregnant from that. Not really logical in an argument you think you just won. The reality is in other countries people take high powered machines to speeds beyond 200 mph every single day on the public roads. Bikers hit close to 200 all the time as well. I've never gotten up to 170 as the road conditions and traffic conditions just have never allowed. I also wouldn't want to hear that expensive banging rattling eeeek WTF did I just blow up noise so have never risked it. My EGT gauge keeps my speed down usually.
