In 1982 I was arrested for "Speeds in excess of 125 MPH" on my motorcycle. The only reason I got caught was because the motor blew up. <---- Kids, do not try this at home.

Yah, I saw that on Max X too. I guess if he could affford the F-140 he could afford the ticket.

You think all you get is a big ticket for doing 200? Think again.. I heard they took the car and threw him in jail. Not sure about that tho.
That guy was the President of the Ferarri Club of Japan if I remember right. They arrested him.

On Gumball 3000 in the US... they pulled over an F50 for going 187mph.

My frined got pulled over going 144 in a 35zone in an F355 Spyder but got a warning:confused: He explained it was his friends dads car and let him take it out for a spin.

Where does it say that? I was just poking around the site and I couldn't see it.

i believe it's somewhere in the movie, not the site. and for teh f50 at 187mph, it was in some other forum

Speed limmits are too low. [q/]

Correction.. Speed limits are too low for sports cars.. All other cars - family-filled SUV's, for instance, should be stuck at the speed limit.

In one of the Gumball videos I have, the camera inside a Ruf shows the speedo at like 202 mph. I don't think he got caught though.

My ex/galpal Lola was arrested for 155MPH in Georgia in her Jagual XJ12. What was funny was that the trooper was going to let her off with a warning until she mouthed off.

I've personally done 175MPH in a M5 with a few bolt ons and 155MPH in the 4.6is.

I went down to the Gumball 3000 when it came through New Orleans. Two guys in Diablos were checking top speeds (they were looking at trip computers or something inside the car) and they both said 186 as their top speed for that day. There was a guy in a Koenigsegg that said he hit 245 mph but I call shenanigans. He was going faster then the two guys in the Diablos though, they were complaining that they couldn't keep up.

I think the news got the video of that guy. Typical squid.

yeah i think that's bull, even with 210mph he would be smoking those two diablos already, 245 that's too hard to achieve i believe

For reference: Car and Driver tested an F50's top speed at 197, but it hit 194 at redline. (the F40 was all around a faster car)

speed kills!!! plz don't do more then 10mph over the speed limit cause that is already very lenient. If everyone get pulled over for even 1mph, there would be no speeding at all. I hate fast driver, they encourage other to drive fast too! it's like madness! I usually drive a little slower then speed limit then these speed demon driver behind me just zoom pass going +20 over the speed limit, too crazy man. :(

Wow... anything above 150 MPH just seems crazy to me. I guess I just need to find a way to get up there. I've seen the following:

105 MPH - 2002 Cavalier LS Sport Coupe (OBD-2 limited)
111 MPH - 1990 Cavalier VL Coupe (would you feel any safer at higher speeds with 185/80R13s?)
122 MPH - 1999 Seabring Convertible (passenger)

Wow, good thing that the drive didn't jam when the motor blew. Having the rear wheel skid at that speed would be more than a little bad.

You need to strap a jet engine onto the top of your car.

The fastest Ive ever been is 199km in my Commodore.
I dont know how fast that is in mph.
It was pretty fast.
I probably won't do it again, I havent had it that long.
On the plus side: the engine still had a bit more in it and its fully standard!
