I'm sure there are extenuating circumstances, but REALLY 55 miles an hour OVER???!!!:Q

I'm in 4th gear @ 4000 rpm = 80mph. my car redline at 7000rpm and stop at 9000rpm.
so, having a car that will go 6x the speed limit means it is okay to go 3x the speed limit? :confused:

I see a Darwin award in your future...

Stop at 9K? This is a Nissan V6. I don't think they go that high...
He means the tachometer goes to 9000 - gee, what a meaningful number...

Has nothing to do with sportscars...you my friend should not have a license. Speeding is one thing, but speeding in a 25 mph zone is retarded.

I think he means engine cutoff at 9K.

According to Edmunds a '92 300ZX makes peak horsepower at 6400 RPM, a 7K redline is probably right.

Well it was completely dead road. and it's very wide. I drove an 88 celica for 2 years without any problem, eversince i got this car. i'm addicted to the rush you get when the car kept on pulling and pulling without stopping.
Man, you sure you're feeling ok after coming back from Iraq? 80 in a 25 is excessive bro. What time of day was this? I hope it was after midnight for your neighbor's sake.

nah it's early morning. like i said, it's completely dead with no traffic. It's just one of those roads that no one drives on much.

The car honestly has nothing to do with it, I did some highly illegal things in a 1983 Tercel.

That said, I never did 80 in a 25 (~90 in a 55 lots of times though).

Apparently someone else drives down that road. ;) Plus just because it's vacant does me you can break the law.

That would be like me in your vacant bank loading up your money and walking out the door. It was OK because you weren?t there.

He is taking it rather nicely despite all the flames. :beer:
While I agree its not the smartest thing to do, I'm not going to flame him for it.

All I have to say is, live and learn. Nice car BTW. I :heart: 300zx.

Big deal. I did 80 in a 25 in an 88 Grand Am, 2.5L 4cyl. I was late for work, and it was during my teen years when I was a complete fvcktard. I didn't blame it on the car, then or now. That being said, if you really got nabbed doing that speed the cop would have taken your license away. At least I hope he would.

I am HOPING this thread is shens.

how old are you ? You're one of those that give under-25 males a bad name... accelerating to 80 in a 25 is a rush, but stupidity supercedes that, ya think ? Perhaps not.
