I did 117 mph for about 2-3 minutes in my '97 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.5L 4 cyl. engine coming back from Tahoe - and it was at night! I was wide awake though - my 2 12" JL's were shaking my whole car....then it stated REALLY shacking, and it was around the wheels...not from the bass...so I laid off the accelerator. I did it all downhill though, coming back from Tahoe. It was fun
Then I did 121 MPH in a '91 Honda accord about 2 weeks ago, I think it was on 580 coming from Stockton area to San Ramon area here in CA. My car started making weird noises, so I laid off. I only went that fast for about 30 seconds.
In San Diego, last spring break, I went to visit some friends and we raced a lot on the freeway. We hit 130 all the time, I think we even hit 140 once - no problem at all in a '91 Mustang V8. That thing kicked ass, I am still waiting to go there again and try it some more
I did 110 in a '90 Mazda MPV - I messed up that van so much, me and my bro....we had to fork it over to the tax write off people. It was our first car. We shard it for about 1 1/2 years...it was long enough for it to require a new box (bumps all over from hitting various objects), and new transmission 3 times. Damn automatics suck
So my next car is gonna be a Nissan 300ZX, prolly like a '93 or '94, and I'm gonna do 140 in that baby all the time if I'm out late
Whoever it was that did 115 down the san mateo bridge...you are crazy! Those lanes are about big enough to be bike lanes! I feel scared as hell going over 75 on that bridge.
