I did a 230km/h with N/A coupe before, and I can feel the car lift up a little bit.

At 142.9 MPH, I can feel my butt lifting up due to the excessive pucker factor ...

Nope, One should act responsibly and never drink when driving insanely.

Just remove the rev limiter and have a good tune mod from Eurocharged. Car does not know when to quit.

Was late when traveling to Lansing from Detroit once. Didn't even realize I was doing 130 in traffic, I just knew I was -very- late. O.o

That's when I said the hell with it, next opening in traffic and a straightaway, I found the top end at 155ish and felt pretty good..then did 70 the rest of the way there. I felt I had done enough life risking for one day, not to mention the fuel it sucks down then, ouch.

Never had it to her limit but felt like I was doing light speed. I'm pretty sure that was just the sun in my eyes though... Glanced down and I was at 130+mph

Three years ago, I was getting onto a 4 lane highway. Some young idiot shot me the bird and went around me. Dont know why but it just pissed me off. So I cought him, he was running 120 in his about 95 mustang GT. I cought him at 145 with my Filipina wife beating my shoulder to slow down. Called the HP told him I was beside the idiot...hahah. He told me they would stop HIM in the next town, me too if i was still running that fast...True story.. still have the bruses to prove it

Call me paranoid, but I just don't think it's in your best interest to publicly acknowledge at what unlawful speeds you have reached.
(Even though I personally know that everyone of you were actually on a "closed course" when ever you attained these lofty speeds).
To that, my friend, I say PROVE IT!

I think your bigger concern might be the fines from all those dating sites you're on, lying about your age and level of fitness



I've only been as fast as the point where the shaking from my CF hood starts to cross the line from "that's weird" to "holy **** this thing is about to fly off my car"

Faster than I'd ever readily admit on the Interwebs. That goes for anything I pilot.

If you are a pilot, it's perfectly OK to tell how fast you got your plane to go ......
Back when I first bought an American AA1A, I found it would cruise at 112 knots indicated at 4000 ft, 76 deg OAT.
I claybar'd and waxed it, and then saw 114 knots in same conditions.

Unfortunately FAR 91.117(a) hampers most of my fun. Figuratively-speaking.
