I lay down a 1337 credit challenge for someone to go faster at exactly 133.7 miles / km on the trip!

Bring on the irresponsibility!!!

Here's my effort.

Which roads are you on so I know to stay clear

Pretty dangerous, not so much doing that speed, but taking your eyes off the road long enough to take a picture of it _while_ doing that kind of speed I mean oO

peace

Over in Germany atm.. hence the speed..

I managed 155 but I didnt have the bollocks to take a pic.. plus it didnt show 133.7 at the time so it would have been pointless.

This one is about as fast as I managed to go. Basically it involved setting camera on multi frame and generally holding the button down and taking about 50 pics, then hoping they come out - as you can see they didn't always.

Anyways.. if you dont do that speed over here, you're just holding up traffic ;P

Fastes I've ever done was 200 Km/h. I diden't wanna push my luck though so was only a couple of sec. then I took it down to the regular 130... was just so I could say I had done it (was 21 at the time). Nowadays I drive like an old man, there's been a lot of trafic deaths in Denmark due to dumbasses (like me when I was younger) who drive too fast and end up slamming into pregnang women and shit. It's a fucking tradigy

Doccter · « **Reply #6 on:** July 26, 2005, 04:11:27 pm »

how fast is 133 km/h?

Ive broken 160 mph on a downhill portion of a toll road by where i live. I have a video of it somewhere.

133 km/h is about 83 mph, so you've driven downhill @ about 256 Km/h... which is pretty insane O_o

My car has a stupid governor on it. It stop me from accelerating at about 200kph ... so that's the fastest I've gone. I've gone to a friends house about 100km out ... got there in about 35mins. 200kph the whole way. I used to punch my car up to that pretty much everytime I got on a freeway.

<3 radar detectors. I gotta get a faster car and a new radar detector.

A friend of mine, and me have done 143.84m/h (or 232km/t) in Norway

(Kinda scary in the bends lol).

Was a tuned bmw 325i 1985. So it made a lot of noise, and the front stylingbumper scraped the road cuz of the downforce.

Ive also done 137km/h with my Peugeot 70cc Scooter. Now that was scary!

Autobahn anyone?

Lilasiandude · « **Reply #11 on:** July 28, 2005, 08:19:03 am »

Done over 150, but not in my car.

I've only gotten mine up to the 140's before traffic made me slow down. Haven't really tried to push it up there again. (was right when I first bought it) ...... ya have to test it out to make sure everything works right.

oh ... and thats MPH.

Joliie · « **Reply #12 on:** July 28, 2005, 05:12:11 pm »

Young and dumb, I'am just glad I never got a drivers license for Motorcycle, sure that would have killed me.

Done 220km't driving myself, done 250 km't as a passenger which is freaking fast, I'am happy with the new speed regulations in Denmark, which means if you drive 30% faster then the current speed limit, you will most probably loose your driverslicenses. Back in the old days it was a 100%... I had an old friend kill himself in his car driving to fast, lesson is tho speed is fun, its first of all a killer!

Lesson to be learned here boys, dont push the limit on the roads, you will get yourself or worst others killed, sit down do it in NFS or other games..

Darkwillow · « **Reply #13 on:** July 28, 2005, 05:32:32 pm »

with the right car u can do over 200 km/h ( and yeah even i did it ) ...
and yeah we all love Autobahn
and yes we think americans are lame drivers ( 65 miles/h on the east cost with an automatic car was making me sleep ) ...
still driving safe is important

most people dont actually drive the speed limit... heh, if its 65, then people do 80, close to 90 mph

I dont speed (am newb driver)

As such, I will slowly drive past your burning wrecks on the side of the road in my safe Volvo!

%D

(though on autobahn I'd be very very tempted :p)

Frobius · « **Reply #17 on:** August 17, 2005, 02:11:23 pm »

I just upgraded my car with some engine phatz, so I must try go faster.. think I'll get a mate to take the pic this time tho

Luxferro · « **Reply #18 on:** August 18, 2005, 02:13:52 am »

Fastest i've gone in my car is 140mph (cars's top speed is 174mph), had to slow down to make the next right turn (warped my rotors too). Only reason i went that fast (knowing i had to turn soon) was i had put some mustang in check, he was riding on my ass on a merge ramp, and proceeded to take off in front of me. No contest

I try not to speed now-a-days, try... it sucks when you finally get caught on radar and get a ticket for 36 mph over the speed limit. Court time...

Feetus · « **Reply #19 on:** August 18, 2005, 03:05:28 am »

36mph over? Is that all?

Think the worst I've done was 120mph in a 40mph zone. 80mph over the speed limit ... and imagine that, I almost hit someone coming out of a residential street the first time I did that.

Luckily I got mad driving skillz, the bitch blew a stop sign, but I guess maybe she didn't expect me to catch up to her so fast.

Luxferro · « **Reply #20 on:** August 18, 2005, 05:15:35 am »

Your lucky you didn't hit someone at that speed, it wouldn't have been fun

My 140mph was in a 55mph max limit zone. That is like the max for NY state i think. So 85mph beats your 80

when I got my 91 in a 55 ticket on the long island expressway, i was doing 100+ a minute before i noticed the cop - i got kinda lucky in a way. i only passed him at like 70 (down shifted and braked a little). But it was too late, radar gets you before you see a cop car. I plan on fighting it in court, gonna get a lawyer, and hope i just have to pay some fines that don't affect my insurance - it's all part of the game, i hope

If you think about it, speeding at these high speeds is stupid and really dangerous, but it's like an addiction or something. There are so many variables you can't control, and so many clueless drivers. Then there are people who like to do 200mph on their motorcycles... so many more variables for them :para:

Feetus · « **Reply #21 on:** August 18, 2005, 06:50:26 am »

Heh, yeah ... gotta love the crazy motorcyclists ... some of 'em do some shit I'd never do. Think I've got a video somewhere of one dude cruising down the freeway, weaving traffic at 150mph+ ... while doing a wheelie.

Lilasiandude · « **Reply #22 on:** August 18, 2005, 09:16:22 am »

Yeah? ... well, I did 165 through a schoolzone (20mph limit) where a bus was stopped, letting kids off (you have to stop for school bus).

I win!

Goure · « **Reply #23 on:** August 18, 2005, 10:31:01 am »

Gimps. Fastest run is maxspeed of my honda cbr 929, 180mph (290km/h) and do that quite often

Fastest speed on one wheel is about 125mph (200km/h), usually dont look att speedometer when im on one wheel

But damn, neck hurts after a couple of minutes..

Kinkstaah · « **Reply #24 on:** August 18, 2005, 11:23:25 am »

I USE SMALL CHILDREN AS SPEED BUMPS AND I ALSO DRIVE A TANK AT 320 MPH AND ALSO OPEN FIRE AT SCHOOLS.

EPENIS+++!
