No. It was silly and stupid. I don't do that anymore.

I would agree, it's a moment I'd refer to as a temporary case of insanity then again I guess I'm sane at those moments(very few of them I might add) because I'm always calculated in terms of when I'd do something like that meaning on the interstate.

Insanity would be doing 130+ down one of the busiest streets in Detroit, which is what my childhood friend did(he's no longer with us)

200+ indicated on the 'Busa. It was a 2000 model before they speed limited them. I had dropped a couple teeth on the rear sprocket, air filter, full exhaust, Ivan's and a PCIII. It felt like it was still pulling when I let go of the throttle!

actual 140 at the drag strip

indicated 170 elsewhere.

jtemple · 06-15-2009, 07:20 PM

I've gone about 150. There are plenty of near-deserted 2-lane straight highways out here to get up to speed in relative safety.

Speaking of dragstrip, I'm hoping to get my 1st 1/4mi time next month in Charlotte at the Zymax dragstrip. I have run at our local 1/8th mile track quite a few times.

Street, 185 on a Busa in the middle of nowhere in Eastern Oregon, (AKA, the moon).

Track, my F2 topped out at 155 down the straight.

Do it! It is actually a lot more fun than it looks. And usually pretty cheap.
