i have no interest in impressing you or anyone else on the board. this thread was created for others to share stories of speed. im not sure who you think you are both i certainly dont care. to me you are just another peasant with a big mouth, talking about things that will never happen. im gonna try and keep up with you? get over yourself son.

Just another quote to put in your "Book of DUMB"..

Speed is not 140 mph in a straight line. 140 MPH is NOTHING.. I do that every time I do down the front straight at Willow Springs race track.
Speed, as defined by any one behind the wheel who actually has a clue, is about the quality and quantity of acceleration you are able to input while driving through a fast line. It's also about the quality and quantity of your braking, or rather: your ability to Threshold Brake while Heel n Toe downshifting, while Trailing Throttle Oversteering onto your Apex.

That is speed.

Speed is what happens when you shave 1 second off your lap times, not 10 minutes off your commute home from Atlantic City. Speed is what happens when your smooth, consistent and driving like a well oiled machine.

140 mph in a straight line is about as impressive as doing a bunny hop on a Schwinn. They only thing that's even slightly adrenaline about it, is the fact it's illegal (and stupid for unqualified drivers.)...

I'd be willing to bet you you didn't even take the time to check your tire pressures before your little Cannonball Runs.. "Oh, but why should I check my tire pressures? They feel fine..."....
Or at least tell me genius, what were your cold tire temps and what were you're hot tire temps?

What about your brakes? Did you ever bother to bleed them before your little cross country race?

Call me what you want, big mouth, peasant, etc. It doesn't bother me. What bothers me is jackasses behind the wheel of a machine they have no business driving fast.

not even worth a serious response. 30 yrs son and no problems. heres to 30 more!

Over confidence will get you killed. Unfortunately you'll provably take someone out with you with that attitude.

Just a disclaimer. I've driven to the limit in my 540/6 (145+) on a a desert highway in Nevada. On hindsight it was pretty dumb and dangerous.

Loooks like the title of this thread was pretty accurate

Ahhh, another quote for the book of DUMB...

As far as it not even being worth a serious response, I figured you'd chicken out with a response like that. It was actually a smart decision on your part as we wouldn't want to further embarrass you by using big terms that you might not understand.

P.S. - When you're traveling at those speeds and you hit an uneven road surface that unsettles the rear end of your 911 or X5, just wondering what you do to keep the car loaded?
1) Lift or
2) Brake

I always use my cargo net. That helps to keep it loaded.

I'm sorry, who is in a wheelchair as a result of this conversation? Lighten up.

There is a balance between understeer and oversteer and he's pushing, you're drifting. The rest of us are in the middle.

lift or brake? i put the pedal to the metal and let in ride baby! seriously, stop wasting everyones time. we've heard enough about how impressive you think you are.
