Post by: WhoCouldIBe on October 4, 2006 08:27 am CDT
Tomorrow night i'm going to be going to a friends house, He drives nothing but porsches! He has this 2004 Porsche 911 GT2 twin turbo, Allmost 500 HP!

Umm, I guess probably my brother's Lincoln.  I've never driven his 2005 corvette.  He wants to get a 2006 viper to replace it, which I guess would be faster yet.

I need a nice corvette yesterday, it was yellow and had the plate "Lifes ok", made me laugh, i hope to capture my driving experience on video, it's not everyday you get to drive a $200,000 supercar, unless you actually own a $200,000 supercar :roll:

I think it was a Toyota corolla...some friend of a friend was driving 100mph down a 55mph road. Surprisingly, he wasn't caught.

It doesn't matter what kind of car you have driven..  it's if your balls are big enough to hit it's max speed on the highway.

The "fastest" in terms of acceleration was an 89 corvette (my first car) that had a dropped in LT4 from an earlier model..  330 HP I believe.  I got it to 120 before I chickened out on the highway.

I went from that to a pontiac grand prix (mid-class sedan, 98..  it maxed out at 105 because of an engine restriction) to what I now have..  a 96 honda accord.  Nothing special, I guess.  It maxes out at like 110.

My dad's latest girl has an imported (from germany, of course) 2005 BMW that she got in 2004. I had the opportunity to drive it from charleston, sc to greenville, sc alone (3.5 - 4 hour drive...  going the speed limit.  I made it in 2.5).

I was driving 2 friends of mine back from greenville to charleston, and I hit 150 on a slightly curved stretch.  The car really began to lag in acceleration at 140..  150 was as high as I could get before I hit a high angle turn.  It was amazing..  BMWs drive much much smoother above 110 MPH.  I guess that's a dangerously safe feeling..

I'm sure i'll get some sort of smartass retort from our favorite villain.







And what the fork is a guy driving a twin turbo porsche letting a moron like you drive it?  I mean come on..  he must not know your stupid ass.

unsavory woman.

Fastest I ever got my Camry to was 120mph I believe.  Its a little hard to remember, though, as my brain was in reptilian mode.  A bunch of drunk high school kids threw an egg at my car last Good Friday on a two lane road.  Somehow I managed a complete 180* in one motion without crashing the car, then raced after them.  Unfortunately, they were already moving at a good clip, and I chickened out as the cops in my area are everywhere.

Post by: Particle on October 5, 2006 12:46 pm CDT
Bullets can catch up to a car much more quickly.

For example, if they were moving at 85 MPH and you managed your 180 in 10 seconds moving forward say 300 feet (estimate based on city speed limits--if you were obeying them), they would be 1547 feet (~0.3 miles) ahead of you before you even began to speed up to catch them.  Even if your car could instantly accelerate to 100 MPH, you'd take 11 seconds just to catch up to the spot they were when you managed to do the 180.  They'd still be 1371 feet ahead of you, now 21 seconds into the ordeal.

A bullet on the other hand would make up time a lot quicker.  Say you took your time and slowed down to a smooth stop in 400 feet taking 15 seconds.  They'd be 2270 feet ahead of your position.  How long would it take a 5.56x45 to reach them?  About 1 second.

And the winner is?  Bullets.

Do I advocate you shooting people?  No.  I just figured the numbers might be amusing.

Well i drove the car last night. it was so fast!!! The owner started driving it 1st, my legs were shaking before i left his driveway. He drove us around for 10 minutes, showing us the houses he has built and the land he just bought, then he pulls over and says "your turn"....

I was taking it pretty easy in parts but i opened it up a few times, never have i been threw back in my chair like that before. Crazy quick.I would love to have found out if its 198MPH top speed was true but clearly i'm not going to do anywhere near that!After all, the car costs allmost as much as my house.

Here you go.  It would have gone faster if there weren't three of us in there.

Wow particle.  You must have some amazing stretches to be able to keep that speed for so long of a time.

What about cops?
Title:
Post by: Particle on October 6, 2006 06:53 pm CDT
Yeah, there are a ton.  You have to be careful.

Some of the best roads are old highways that nobody uses anymore.  No traffic, no cops (because they can't give out enough tickets to make it worth while I guess), and straight 1950s-era stretches.

I spent a week driving across Kansas, one Sunday.

In Kansas, you know where your dog that ran away 3 days ago is because you can still see him running.

Post by: Particle on October 6, 2006 08:09 pm CDT
It's not really that bad.  Western Kansas is, but not eastern Kansas.

As far as living here, it's a good place to be.  Clean air and medium-sized cities are readily available.  Lots of options.

Post by: KoRo on October 6, 2006 08:22 pm CDT
Is the weather hot and arid? Seems like it would be, but I don't know. I have a friend who has family in Kansas, and he hates it there.

Post by: Particle on October 6, 2006 09:00 pm CDT
You're thinking western Kansas.  Here's the difference:

Western Kansas:

I've always wanted to build my own go kart. That'll show ya'll up.
Title:
Post by: Darwin on October 7, 2006 12:05 pm CDT
Me and my dad have built a couple of go-karts together.  The first one we built we used a chainsaw motor.  Well, we messed with the governor (or took it completely off, not sure) and the thing ended up going around, I'd figure, 80mph.  It was LOUD too.  Instead of going put-put-put it went BAM-BAM-BAM!  

Thing is I completely broke the breaks very quickly, and the thing would just keep going and going.  Luckily, I had a kill switch attached to the wheel, and was able to glide it out safely.  

After that, we just stuck with Briggs and Straton unmodified.

Post by: KoRo on October 7, 2006 03:46 pm CDT
Chainsaw motor propelled a go kart to 80mph? Sweet jesus. My original plan was to use a lawnmower engine, but now I'm thinking of getting a small engine that can be converted to Biodiesel.

Post by: Particle on October 7, 2006 05:08 pm CDT
If I made anything, I'd probably try something electric.

Fastest I have driven would be my slightly :evil: modified 91 Mitsubishi Eclipse.  AWD + turbo = fun.

Fastest car I have been in was my buddies bosses GT2.  At least I think it was a GT2.  I was wasted when I hopped in and I almost malarkey my pants when we were taking off from place to place.

I feel honored for Eastern Kansas to be sumed up by my old front lawn :P The fastest car I've ever driven?
http://http://rt.pcrg.org
140mph down a road full of potholes- not even a highway. It was extremely scary, but Im pretty sure my nuts swelled to triple their normal size. My check engine light kicked on  going up a hill at that speed, so i slowed really quickly. As soon as I got to the top a cop passed me- at that point I was going 10mph over so he flashed his lights and kept going. I had to wipe after that.
Then I was driving with particle in the same car, I think we got it up to 120-130 going down a nice smooth highway. I was really impressed with how everything just smoothed out and all you could hear was the whirr or the tires barely touching the pavement.  Gawd that was awesome.

I take it that's coolant or something, since robots don't typically use blood.
