... anyone know what the ticket for that would have been??

Sure, it's called wreckless driving, license revoked, a night in jail and a shitload of fines  / lawyer fees.

But to the question...

How fast does one of these go? That's how fast...

As a passenger: 180mph in a '77 Monza Mirage with a custom 350 V8. That was top speed before it would start lifting up and losing traction.

As a driver? 140+ in a '94 Beretta heading to Chicago on I-88 from Cedar Rapids Iowa. Open road.... very low traffic (handful of cars for miles).

Thats FKN Insane  blink.gif

I would have been screaming like a little girl by the time you hit 150 mph

Well, it was my best friend's brother's car... my best friend blew a tire at 160 in it... managed not to smash the thing up. His brother didn't even kill him  unsure.gif


We went out one night, after the car had been plenty beat up (long story)... the passenger door was wired shut - and did donuts on a tw-lane country asphalt road. Basically, he just turned the wheels slightly and lit it up in place. Smoke, headlights flashing on the trees and the dome light flickering. Very strange experience.


The long story.... the car (not the engine... that was going to be swapped, but at a later time) was sold to some guy who had it for a few weeks. The guy brought it back and told him to keep the money, the car and he'd keep his life. Seems he couldn't control the beast and dropped it in a ditch more than a few times. The engine got moved into a Nova (78 I think). It's a shame, too.... the Monza was a Mirage package, with all the ground effects cladding. The guy who owned it was like a one-man Bo and Luke Duke - always outfoxing the cops on the back roads. The neighboring county had an immediate impoundment order on the vehicle for a while.  tongue.gif

Jesus Christ, whats the gearing in that thing like to allow speeds that high. We all know that big block chevys don't tend to rev excessively high all that well.

It was a bored out 327.... he put the whole thing together himself (He was an awesome mechanic). It could rev to 10k RPM without a hitch, and was definitely NOT street legal - but the car was, for the most part, unassuming. That came in handy when he was street racing.  laugh.gif I wish I had some of the pics taken when he would light that thing up!

That was 20 years ago.... cars were a different sort of beast back then.  blink.gif

110mph in a 25, and  the rest is history, was kinda funny since the cars description was called into the cops, we noticed that as we watched the highway back by my house and saw half a dozen cops go by, anyone know what the ticket for that would have been??


well around here for fines it would be $125.00 for 25mph over so your at 50mph there then it's $15.00 per mile so 110mph in a 25 = $1,025 ouch  sad.gif

me im only 15 so ive gone 95 riding wit a friend in a 55 (country road)

mad.gif , so if i should estimate my speed based on rpm, i would say around 285km/t. Not for long, due to my things i had stuffed back on the bike, the bike started to wobble (shake) and i had to slow down. That scared the bis Gs out of me.
