Who "has not" gone 155 on here?

fdsasdasdf · 01-25-2010, 12:57 AM

I legitimately haven't gone 155 mph because it's a stupid thing to do on public roads in America. Too risky with the police and too many people to potentially hurt. Also I don't own any cars that can go even close to 155

I think the fastest I've ever done is like...90 mph in a Civic. Wasn't really fun cause it REALLY didn't seem like it was made to do 90.

Just yesterday night I saw someone get busted for going 144 mph. He got taken straight to jail and had guns on him. It was pretty freaky.

It's never the speed that kills you - it's the combination of poor driving and that sudden stop

coming down a hill and the prius finally gets out of the left lane then 10 seconds later you look down and it reads 110.... oops

cuban335i · 01-25-2010, 04:30 AM

the fastest i've gone is 135 (and i did it for about 15-17 miles) but that was in my range rover sport and i wasted about 12 gallons of gas in that time lol... the thing still felt like a tank even at those speeds... this was a 3am run with some buddies

but in the 335 i've gone about 95 on the highway and probably 120-130 on the track (i don't take risks that many risks anymore on the highway)

cotmfk · 01-25-2010, 06:37 AM

Hope to at the track sometime...

2M · 01-25-2010, 06:40 AM

I DO NOT do 135mph on a daily basis

Only place I could do it was on one particular stretch of road after I crossed into Germany heading towards Koblenz. Too much construction every where around there....it is not a FREE FOR ALL like some think. You do have speed limits in around towns and construction and some heavy congestion areas...so harder and harder to find some place to go fast.

That being said I was getting passed left and right by Porsche 944 Turbo, Ferrari, and a Maserati.

lived just south of Amsterdam for 5 years.

Bimmerdriver17 · 01-25-2010, 07:09 AM

not me. Maybe tops 120ish....155 is just too dangerous on our roads.

D.B.S · 01-25-2010, 07:19 AM

145 mph on route 9 going towards peekskill, ny / camp smith... Nice empty road, but i was passed by a v12 bimmer, I think he was doing about 160 cause he came out of nowhere

I335 · 01-25-2010, 07:21 AM

I have not gone that fast and I really don't have much of a disire to go that fast. I'd do it with the right car on the Autobahn or a race track but there isn't anyplace around here to do that safely.

I didn't have enough miles on it to try for 155 on the Autobahn. It easily hit 135 for a short burst and 155 would have taken just a second or two more.

brinkmann · 01-25-2010, 07:42 AM

We got up to 125 on the Autobahn following my brother's European delivery of his new 5 series. Unfortunately the roads were a little wet and traffic was surprisingly heavy so we didn't want to push our luck.

bmw6953 · 01-25-2010, 07:58 AM

I have done 140 on the way to vegas on the 15 freeway.

DJKhan85 · 01-25-2010, 08:02 AM

Fastest I've ever gone was 110 in the 335. This happened when I first got the car coming from a 4 cyl Camry & Altima. Went to pass a semi on the highway and was too used to my previous cars where I had to really get on the gas. Well I did the samething in the 335 and then looked down at the speedometer. Passed the semi going 110

. I've learned to tame my right foot since then.

06mb325 · 01-25-2010, 08:05 AM

155 in my old camaro, 140 in the bimmer.

bavarian19 · 01-25-2010, 08:12 AM

On an open flat highway with no one around for miles, I hit 120 or so in both my E90 and E92. I have not ventured north of that. I see no need.

MF80 · 01-25-2010, 08:16 AM

Not sure if this guy did reach that speed...http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=139294

Becareful man...one second during your 155 can rip you apart.
