Thanks man, I was down in Montana with my 83 Z28 years ago when there was no speed limit had my 83 and a buddys 87 and the border crossing guys just laughed they knew exaclty why we were going and what we had planned nothing beats crusing down the highway at 145mph legally coolest thing is I was passed by a US GOVT plated crown vic that was doing at least 165 mph I couldnt catch him as my 83 would top out at 152 lol ******* slowly pulled away from me but I will admit 18 yrs old first time in the states I wasnt to eager to race em anyways due to an unfortunate incident with my wonderful ex and spending a weekend in jail I dont know if I can go back to big sky country now lol

There is a whole lot of idiot in this thread. I'm drunk and it was still painful to read.
Good thing these guys can still get GED's so they don't have to work at Hot Dog on a Stick the rest of their lives.

Land speed racing is not just in Bonneville, Its in almost every corner of the country Maine, North Caroline, Florida, Texas, Utah, and California. Dont Be Stupid on the street, yes we have all done it, but there are too many variables out side of you and your car. Recently I was at an LSR event were a fellow racer crashed in the braking zone, paramedics got to him in seconds of the accident and were able to get him breathing again. We found out later that day he died in route to the hospital.
Volunteers packed up his tools and trailer and personal belonging to send back to his home. This Man died doing what he loved I do not feel bad for him. But you ask his 3 kids, wife, parents and friends that? It is not about you its about the people who care about you its about the poor sap that is the first on the scene after you barrel rolled off the highway doing 140+ because a tire blew out. These people have to live with that long after youre gone. If it can happen at a race track where there are paramedics and the drivers have all the safety equipment it can sure as hell happen on the street.

#1- I have owned 5 cars that had a top speed of over 150 mph and yes every one of them was driven to top speed on public highways.
#2- Why the **** would you waste the money on buying a sports car and drive it around at the speed limit and cry like a bitch when someone that actually uses their car properly is asking other ppl that actually use their cars what top speed they have gotten? I started a diff thread about other ppls top speed and every person to comment said the same bullshit that I was unsafe and an ******* for using my car and driving it fast
#3- I have out run the RCMP so many ******* times its not even funny the last time I had my 05 Mustang GT 100% stock racing a supercharged chev pickup and passed a cop coming opposite direction down highway cop turned around truck pulled over I grabbed 4th gear and laid into it 140-150 mph down a winding highway in BC left that poor crown vic like he was standing still funny thing is 30 kms down the road 6 cops had a convertible black GT pulled over guy spread out on the ground slowed down passed them all the cops stopped and stared wondering if maybe my black mustang was the one they were after lol back to 150 mph and switched onto a secondary highway and then back home close one and I am so mad my cars yellow cause there is no way in **** Im gonna run into another yellow TC down the road to save my ass now!! Police cruisers have a top speed of 105mph they cant outrun or catch up to half the cars on the road and rcmp policy is not to chase over 100 anyways its a ******* joke and "if" they did happen to catch you after you outran them its a slap on the wrist fine for failing to stop for an emergency vehicle its not like the usa where its a huge deal go to jail thing for outrunning them.
#4- At 158 kmh or 160 MPH my car was still pulling pretty good I have no doubt that it will pull 165 mph with enough room to wind it out all these claims of 155mph governors are weird all my car has is GMS1 its 100% stock other than that and it passed 155 without even a struggle I regularly pop up to 150-155mph just cruising around
#5- I feel sorry for these poor bastards that live places that are so overpopulated that they cant even take their cars out and run em to top speed once in a while and enjoy the performance they paid for I cant imagine living somewhere that you dont have 3 miles of flat open road to go play on I can drive 15 mins in any direction and have endless miles of flat road and no traffic to deal with.

Do you guys that actually use your cars and enjoy the performance of your cars think that all these cry babies would freek out about ppl rear ending us if we started a how fast does your car stop thread??
There is a whole lot of dumb ***** on this site and it really pisses me off that they have to butt into a conversation about high speed driving when they are obviously too scared or simply dont have the ***** and or skills neccesary to drive a car fast, if you dont agree move on.

everyone is bitching because its 20 year old kids like you guys that THINK they are untouchable and have never even been to a driving school or anything and claim to be skilled enough to do so. if you talk to any pro driver that you go 160mph in a stock suspension cobalt theyd call you stupid. Now, have I gone 140+ in my cobalt and 160+ in my wrx? yes. but i recognize im stupid and i keep it to myself. i dont go bragging to other people as if they should give me props. i do it for me. not other people. the reason you guys are getting **** for it is because youre getting in a pissing contest of basically whos more stupid than the other. we all speed. get over it. youre not special. and stop calling your ss/sc a "highway monster". a highway monster is a 500+whp fwd car or a 800+ rwd car. a 250whp cobalt is NOT a highway monster.

i've hit 152 stock, coulda went higher, not enough road and it was climbing slow at that point. since i've been tuned i've also only gotten up to 152 cause of lack of road. Now that my car doesn't run right i've still hit just over 150.

I actually kinda did that had a 79 Malibu built 355 with 4.56 gears and a turbo 350 trans in it at 60 mph it would rev 4500 rpm so everywhere I went it was no more then 65 or Id burn thru so much fuel it wasnt even funny, got a lot of complaints about the noise it made though... guess some ppl just are never happy!!
I wasnt bitching at you I was bitching at all these ppl that post **** here that is the complete opposite of what the convo is about it just makes no sense if you read a topic you dont agree with move on to one you do.
