I've come close doing 133 but I am glad I didn't hit redline because I don't have a 6 to go into, BTW my short story was me Black Celica GT on 75
That must have been fun, how did the break lights look on the Black Mercedes HEHE

Haha, I don't even know how fast I was going. This was on 400 north and actually started on the ramp to get on 400. He was in the a-hole lane (merge lane). I could tell he was going to try and take off fast and cut in front of me so as soon as we got straight on the ramp we both floored it. By the merge I had a car on him. I slowed to 80 to pull on the hwy and he did a flybye. So we followed each other for a while until we came up on that long staight and I pulled up next to him and dropped it into 4th. We both nailed it at the same time and literally stayed exactly side by side until after I shifted into 6th. Then we slowed down cause we were running out of straight road. I got behind him before he exited and his Mercedes had no emblems on the back so I have no idea what it was except that it was pretty new. It was a 4 door with tinted windows and nice wheels. That's all I know about it. It sure was fun though. I'm just glad that my WW wing didn't blow off :)

man, friday night was great. a bunch of us (i won't name names, hehe) were acting like total sissies but it was still hella fun. don't forget the part about peeing off of 7 story tall bridges and weird goth people building fires.

haha, yea it was fun. to sum it all up quickly, we went to this old place out in the middle of the woods near rox's house (it was some old ruins of a wastewater plant or something). well, it was way out in the middle of nowhere and yes, me and a few others were a bit creeped out by it. there were also other wierd people out there burning fires and stuff, and i think they were in a cult...haha..not really, but you never know. they were acting real strange. anyhow, there was a train track that ran through this area that we were walking down, rox said they always came real slow if one came at all. however, we heard one and before we knew it i saw the lights on it so took off running extremely fast. it went by, we carried on walking and thats where the peeing off really high bridges part came in. after that, we walked back to our cars to be greeted by 3 of the great police officers of dekalb county that were convinced they had found a bunch of drunk teens or something. they seemed upset to realize that we were just a bunch of loosers and hadn't been doing drugs or drinking and after running all of our licenses and talking/hassling us for a while let us go. ok, thats about everything, sorry if i let anyone down if you were expecting some crazy story but it wasnt all that interesting. we did have fun though.

I'm sorry I missed that. There is a place up north of where I live that we can go sometime. I think I told you about it before. It is the Dawson Forest. There is supposed to be all kinds of weird stuff going on up there. There were nuclear facilities there like labs and who knows what else back in 50's or 60's whenever all that was going on. According to a friend of mine who goes four wheeling out there they have seen deformed animals and insects. He swears they saw a two headed dear one time. There is some old "haunted" church out there too he said is really freaky.

.....best I've ever done was 140 indicated. Done that a couple times, but try not to anymore. :o In my 91 si I've buried the needle against the odo reset, so who knows how fast it was going... but that's another story.
:thumbup: but be careful. I always remember that at those speeds, you're dead if anything happens.

Damn Black R. That's haulin' ass. I guess that I was somewhere around 135 or so. I didn't even look at the speedo. I was really paying attention to the road and my tach. I was suprised. My car felt very solid at that speed, no floating at all. That's only about the 3-4th time I've taken it over 110 in a year and a half so I definately don't make a habbit of it. :)
