Nice! Wheres the video! :p

About 2 months ago, I took my out around 2 here and made a nice video of 60-160. As I watch the video, it took about 12-14 seconds, and was very smooth and no shaking like others say.

I have never raced a C5 'Vette on the freeway & I definitely did not get up to 155.

You know guys, they have speed limits for a reason. Its so EVERYONE abides by them and the roads are as safe as possible. If I ever saw someone fly by me.............................. Just kidding. LOL. 145 MPH racing some little ricer. I was going over a bridge on the uphill side. I like to open her up once in a while when my wife and baby aren't with me so I can get it out of my system.

I'm just curious here, what would happen to you in your state if you get busted going that fast? Here I'm doing 30 days for sure. I have the roads around here to do it but it still gets my blood rushing!!!

I'm not even sure. All I know is the adrenaline is pumping and the fear sets in when you realize someone is about to change lanes right in front of you. I think double the speed limit is a definate ride in the back of a cop car.

Your funny Paul! I know why you only made 10 hoods now. They're made of radar absorbing materials, and your part of a secret group that run stuff across the boarder. I want in!!

No nitrous. It was posted on here a while ago. Still has another 300rpm before the rev limiter kicks in so 170 is probably attainable.

About 145 foolishly going after a black Ferrari 430. He won. I backed off - it wasn't even a freeway, and at that speed the road was getting pretty narrow.

170 confirmed by me heeh..that's pretty impressive for a SUV with only 420 HP :eek:

Nice...been to those speeds on the motorcycle but not quite that high in the jeep!

I see from the pics in your sig that our tastes are similar....Inferno Red Jeep, LT1 Camaro (although yours is way cleaner and faster!), and the motorcycle. The addiction to speed is a hard one to kick. LOL :p:D

Who took that pic? Your a brave man to take that by yourself at that speed. :eek: haha

Someone needs to reset their fuel monitor and see how many MPG she's doing at that speed!!! I'm guessing 5 MAX

160mph when it was fully stock, with only me in the jeep. Had to shut her down because I was running out of road, but still had 3-4-5 or so hundred rpms to go.....cant quite remember because I was trying to keep my eyes on the road:D

135, never gave myself an opprotunity to go faster . . . surprisingly it handled 100 times better than my trans am at 135 MPH

im with ya bro... actually i have a limited amount of spots to go for that kind of speed...

to me 120-130 mph is fast enough for me... im more into the 50-80.... the 80-110... the 10mph rolls to 50-60 or so... or the wot's from a hole :) i enjoy power that hits ya over the linear power you feel by going up to 150-170 miles an hour...

daahhamm fellas... be freakin careful.. those speeds are serious

and lets not forget..The most important point 4any driver to remember is that if U double your speed...say from 30mph to 60mph....your braking distance does not become twice as long...it actually becomes four times as far! ive always found that fascinating

Our rig stops around 125ft from 60.... that means at 120 expect to stop close to 500 feet..... thats nuts.. . now just imagine at 160... wow...

155 MPH in my rig. ran out of road and I was freakin out by the end cuz I was feeling to road wasn't completely flat in the process! I was able to get her under control though, just a little rush of blood to the head for a sec. man you guys have posted some ridiculous speeds up here!

I bet if you did a hard stop from 160-0, it would cure the brake squeal problem:)

Since your already going 136 and after 100 your dead why not go faster if the conditions permit....thats the way i look at it:D

You guys are so lucky lol, I know some cops but not enough to help out if trooper gets me lol, i want an FOP plate or some kind pass, anyone on here have enough authority to get me some kind of free-pass or something to help if Im speeding, I can compensate for you, make it worth your while ;)

btw - this is not a bribe :)

Exactly, you said it yourself so 136 > 100 i think :confused: lol so you might as well open er all the way up if road is empty, way i look at it, you either do speed limit (65), 10mph over or less of the speed limit, or you're a road racer and dont car at all and would do 300000mhp if you could lol, my views on drivers and speed, i think im the 10 over guy, but occasionally if conditions permit ill open er all the way up ;) hehe

lmao @ the bribe stuff....

Don't get me wrong if I am driving like a toolbag I'm still going to end up with something out of the deal...but so far I've had nothing but good luck with the plates on. The Fiancee was running 80 in a 55 (set on cruise... :twak:) and a State Trooper stopped her... walked up to the car... asked her if she was on the department (she is a medic so her reply was yes)... told her to slow down a little and walked back to his car. :eek:

I really don't push my luck though... I'm usually the 10 over guy and show the LEOs some respect. :cool:

164mph legal on german Autobahn - but at the most of the time there is too much traffic to run so fast. My most driven speed on the autobahn is between 130 and 140

168 and was still strong, but cut it off since i was on a frontage road....kept thinking to myself, "wonder what those people on the freeway are thinking as they watch some jeep flying by them on the frontage road...literally FLYING"

Haha, since you mention interstate and frontage road and live in Castle rock im guessing that youre talking about that nice little straight away just south of town/outlets accross the interstate from the railroad tracks :D? Dont ask how i know.

I thought i was crazy. I "did not" have the SRT at 120 coming back from Mount Snow with 3 snowboards on top. I also did not have my 06 Z06 (the previous vehicle before i traded in for this) at 181.
