Lol my contribution to society is 140km/h yehhh im a pussy

, i thought i was doing 100 on the highway and realised its 140 you dont feel speed in EA's.

fastest with some one else driving is a 650 hp supra playing around to 180 ish down a quiet road, (if you floored it it would spin wheels at 160

)

Insane

Would have been funny to watch the needle as it would be stuck at the bottom of the dash for ages, then when you start slowing down it'd still be there until you "slow" down to 200 haha

My best effort would be 190kmh in my EA, and 180kmh in the EF (limited), oh and 180 in Sunny's typhoon (by far the funnest, felt like it was only doing about 130, got there so quick as well, if he wasn't with me and I had my own car I would have gone up a gear and kept going, felt so safe

)

200 im my ed i didnt notice then i looked at speedo an freaked sat on 90 kays for the rest of the trip,i dont like speeding on pubilc roads i mens if i hurt my self meh but if i hurt some body else i couldnt handle that,ive seen some nasty things at car wrecks i dont want my friends or loved ones turning out like that so i try to watch my speed.Having said that in a bigger car its easy they pick up so smooth ya dont notice

Racing on a track day is fine tho infact i think it would be a good idea that way ya know how ya car handles

Fastest I ever gone was in my mates fc rx7 20b with 450 kw had it to 295 kmph... better believe it. That thing was mad. And it was still picking up speed I reckon it would gone to 350.and 260 in a friends gtr r32. But as of my cars 220 in my ef xr6 turbo and 180 in my fairmont. (Limiter)

Today one of my best mates was tragically killed on his motorcycle due to excessive speed. I don't want to turn this thread into a sympathy vote, just keep in mind it can happen to any of us.
