I have had the pleasure of being on the AutoBahn but the Pug I had rented only had 180 in it, next trip I am hoping to get something a little better.RegardsGJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I regularly do over 200 on my way home from work in the wee hours, but never will I do it with a passanger (even my wife) never will I do it in the wet, and never will I do it if another car is within sight either way for there safety and in case they are cops. There is every chance something could go wrong and I die, but that's the risk I take. But what about the drunk bloke stumbling home from the pub in the area with poor street lighting?Not having a go at you, we all do it, just food for thought. No worries Ba_ turbs, I should have mentioned in my post that I dont drive like that in residential areas either, I only ever test how fast cars will go out bush, I live 20 minutes outside of toowoomba so there is 100's of long straight roads that are only populated by farm houses set back 500+ meters from the road, there is never traffic on them. Or its on the Warrego highway on the way home at 3:00 in the morning so the chances of hitting a drunk guy are vertually none, more like hitting roos or rabbitts, but as I said, that's the risk I take.

A dodge viper is geared to go that fast providing you can give it enough power, and have the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regularly saw well over 250. Damn I am lucky to be here and thankful for it........... The thing had nothing left and was sitting on the rev limiter. Bloody idiot! Imagine what a rabbit would have done to me? That is why I have gone back to motocross! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
