Anyone know of anywhere legal where u can do some speed testing such as a standing mile, 60-130?? I know about the salt flats and places out west), but I'm lookin nj/pa

 

the turnpike

 

Probably the closest to you is: here or Maxton NC here

Looks like tons of fun but you need a 4-point roll bar to go 135mph+

 

the autobahn in germany. lol

 

thats legit

 

really? at the track u need a roll bar when u get into the high 10's

 

11.49 most places.

 

ya, Maxton isn't to far from me so I looked into it. But they have got some crazy strict rules. That's a long drive to have to stop at 135.

 

Yea both a pretty far and I was thinkin even if u can get on a track with a long straight ur lookin at total lap time certainly not acceleration segments. I need an update on this one.... Are todays radar detectors useful. For some highway speed runs. Or have the cops got ahead of the technology

 

How has NOBODY mentioned the Texas Mile. Once a year, no holds barred, run what you brung. Sign a waiver, get inspected, prerun the course and then your in for a trapped standing mile.

If your moderately modded, take your wing off (it helps) and try to break 165. If your modded like cmiller, 180 isn't out of the question if you don't have a problem taking the motor north of 6 grand for more than a few seconds.

 

^ cause he said he lives in Jersey/PA, and doesnt wanna drive that far

 

even the autobahn has a speed limit now. no joke

 

did 145 running next to a c5 z06 on southbound WI rt 57. Coulda kept going but chickened out (That's what I do, its my name). The vette kept going to 150+.

EDIT: Not exactly "legal" though... But there's absolutely nothing around.

 

hit up Rt. 22 voseller ave bro

the deuce deuce

 

uhu....and what mph are many 10.9 ppl running?
135.....

 

there are companies that rent out airstrips and go around the country holding "texas mile" like events you just have to find them. they come here to south florida once or twice a year.

 

I broke 5th gear shifting at around 140 Dealer was like Quote WTF How did you do that!!!!!

 

Rte 33 in PA....

 

top gun run down here in south florida is always fun. legal standing mile run

 

The Autobahn has speed limits...

entering a city's limits: posted between 55-80 mph but once you pass the posted city limit sign and see you the sign below, your right foot knows what to do..

entering a country side [small towns]: posted between 60 - 80 mph, again once you see the sign below..whoa..lol..

Also, if you get a speeding ticket in posted speed zone in germany, france, italy, swiss [some towns/countries have different laws/fines and many more counrties are using/starting to use this system as well] the fine can be based on how much you make[salary] so if you make $100k - 10% = $10k ticket.. SWEET!! LMAO!!

NOW imagine the United States did this.. were ALL F'd..

Highest Speeding Fines recorded by Country

This is a "No Speed Limit" sign in Germany:

 

I live in Ca and when I first got my Porsche 944 turbo, I took it out to the desert near Rosamand Ca located not far from the Willow Springs race track and found an isolated farm road and took this pick . Believe it or not, a passenger took it from the REAR seat. On one of the runs I hit a bird in flight and smashed it on my windshield.
Doing something like this is VERY DICY and dangerous. If the road isn't ****** and you get air under the car or it gets *upset* with the slightest imperfection you, my friend, are in very deep ****. I went to Mexico to run the *La Carrea Classic* which was a no holds barred 100 mile run from Ensenade to San Felipe. You basically sign your own death warrant. I ran it with my brother..hitting 160 on the straights. Saw my friend crash and burn off a cliff (he lived) and a motorcyclist die. I was fu**kn crazy at the time and would literally do ANYTHING for kicks. Stupid for sure. They finally banned the run...after more guys got killed in subsequent years.
Bottom line....you better have all your **** together before you try a flat out 160 run. Most people don't realize that there is a HUGE difference between 130 and 160 on a *public road* with a *street* car.
Oh..A Tuned Balt will do OVER 160.

 

i read it in a road and track magazine that germany was thinking of posting speed limit of like 140 km which is about 82.8 mi/hr. if i did the conversion correctly. they said that they would do it for increased gas mileage. im not sure if it happened or not

 

yes they did, but closer to cities and towns, but when your out in the burbs, it's no speed limit.. whoa..

140kph is 87 mph

kph to mph convertor

 

im some places they have a limit, but theres still places where there is no limit, i just went to germany 2 months ago and my relatives were going at least 180kmh in their wagon on the hwy

 

The autobahn is only unrestricted in certain areas
