Never had it translated, but I've decided to pass on going to the Octoberfest any more.

80KPH? THAT'S IT? wtf? that's like... 40mph! i thought there was no speed limit on the autobahn... i mean... it's the autobahn...

EDIT ok i looked itup... seems like certian sections are limited, others are not. you just have to watch ... good one, goober. piss of the germans by speeding on the wrong part of the autobahn.

Rented a BMW on Christmas to drive out of the city (Was in NYC, didn't have my truck) and got it up to 140MPH on I80 .. it was fun :)

My 05' Cavalier cut off at 115 while I was dusting my sister in her mazda 626.

Back in may of 93' I broke my neck and two telephone poles @ 135 while drag racing on a back road in my 88' Beretta.

Several years ago I had my Corsica over 130 on a straight stretch after dusting a co-worker in his thunderturd.

subtract about 10-15 mph off of all of those numbers and then they will be believable, lol.

LOL- yah for real.

The '05 Cavalier governs at 108mph. So 115 was a dream- UNLESS, you had a reflashed ECM..?

And 130 in a CORSICA! Huuuhh!?

Yah J, that's sweet man... I did the same thing, but in Feb of '07, in a Charger SRT8, on I-95 ! haha

140 is pretty fast. You're covering so much ground, that it makes getting a ticket more and more likely as you keep going. haha...

(that's the only reason I shut it down at 140 or so both times.....That car had MORE for sure though!!! but with 425hp, it SHOULD!)

jamz · #**103** (**permalink**) 01-24-2008, 03:07 PM

Yea, I didn't keep it at 140mph that long .. Got it up, enjoyed it, and let the foot off the gas to slow down. It was a straight wide open highway ..
