Although, it was fun to make the 60 mile drive from Tampa to Brooksville in a half hour

Go to Germany.

No speed limits on the autobahn

I've seen my car do 110 before. I wasn't driving it at the time so I didn't care much about the risk of getting pulled over.
Good to know that she's got it if i ever need it though

110 kph or 110 mph? Those are two very different numbers, Kara.

mph, I'd guess; 110kph is about 70mph, which wouldn't be over the limit.......

I've never pushed my 240sx beyond the speed limit, but I know it can do a 110 mph plus, but then it would also blow up since it 's a '90.

110mph. As Aldo said 110 kph isn't even a fineable offense over here So that was 40mph over the speed limit and an instant disqualification if the guy got caught.

Like I said I wasn't driving, it wasn't my car yet and the guy drove well so as long as he didn't crash me into something I didn't care much

i havent pushed the one i drive (not mine, but it will be if/when my parents get a new one), thoucht eh spedometer stops at 120iirc, and it could probably do a bit more if you really tried... Fastest i've ever hit in it was 90 though...

Ehh. My speedo goes to 150. My car, however, in it's current form, has a speed limiter that kicks in at 120. And it's got a crappy automatic transmission, that physically limits it at 117.

Although, if I had the Type R engine and tranny, the car would reach it's physical top speed (limit by gear ratio) at about 150...


I want!

Ha! You're car has the potential to be one of the fastest there is And the 90 was the hatchback, right? The best looking version...

I'm probably the only person on the planet to get his stock ford escort over 100mph. And i wasn't going downhill

Fast tow truck?

on a train?

no. Its a manual, so that may have something to do with it.

manuals are fun...

manuals are a pain in the ass

you gotta replace the clutch every 10,000 miles.

Err. No, you don't.

Your car either sucks, or you're a terrible driver if you replace the clutch every 10k miles.

Manuals are fun on the open road.
I hear they suck in traffic.
