Fast Truckin'

[Two_Six]

Today I took my truck and reached speeds of 180km/h on a open streach of road. It felt better than going 180km/h in a car. Going that fast and listening to DJ Pavo sure gives you an adrenline rush.

185km/h on the I-5 in the broad Daylight with "Smack my Bitch Up" pounding is even better. Not noticing the Cop for a 1/4 of a mile... not so good...

[Two_Six]

Awesome, except for the cop, did you get a massive speeding ticket? Luckily there were no cops on the road that I was at, its usually nice and empty here cause its in the boonies.

[Jblaze]

What kinda truck you got ??
I had my old Harley truck doin 200 + km/h
that was pretty crazy but I must say it was still pretty damn smooth for how fast I was goin.

A Chevy Silverado, its my dad's I just borrowed it for today. I'm more into cars like the Mitsubishi Eclipse or the RX8.

$165 US... but that was in 2001. So who knows what the interest is at now. That was on my L with my Fort Nelson address so I dunno what's become of that.

hahahahah there's probably a warrent for your arrest in the states

[mapleleaf4ever]

Like I said... in Washington I try not to cause too much of a ruckus just in case. ;)

Well, it felt better because the truck is heavier. However, Areodynamics are a bitch. My personal best is 245km/h in a Z06 'vette. Making it from Harrison to Burnaby door to door in 37 minutes, however, was much more fun in my old MX6

my old car had a speed governor at 190... so i couldn't really go much faster than that...
probably a good thing cause knowing me i would've pushed it further til i died

[ty_guy]

fastest i've gone (so far) was in a Chrysler 300M 220kph and still at 4,000 rpm haven't tach-ed it out yet. that car is wicked smooth for that speed and deathly responsive.

[mapleleaf4ever]

I've still been faster than all you beeeetches... albeit at 11,500'.

must have been real nice. what do you "drive"

[mapleleaf4ever]

Cessna 172XP... one of these.

[thebobman]

psssh, planes don't count.
landspeed man, LANDspeed!

after all, what fun is it unless you have to avoid pedestrians?

[MarcelM]

I took my dad´s Vw Touareg, drove up to Germany, where there is the Autobahn, unfortunately it had an electronic thing in there ( i dont know how to call it in English ), so it doesnt go faster than 250.
But it was still fucking fun.

Faster than you... that's all. They usually have a 351 V8 in them and they're no slouch either.

[thebobman]

"It's got a cop motor, a 440ci plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, and cop shocks; it was a model made before catalytic converters, so it'll run good on regular gas."

[mapleleaf4ever]

ahahahhahaahahahah I so want to buy a late 90's Crown Vic with the Cop Motor in it. All Black Ghost Car model... that'd be a mean mofo with a couple mods done on it. Have to put "CHOPSTK" as the license plate.

[lou_belle]

the hemi goes 190 and still has power to go faster...
but my scream is far too distracting...
thank god it works...*phew


boys are cute when they go fast:)

well there are birds, i think those would count as pedestrians. i mean it when i say it's ALL about the G force. when you punch it in 1967 Camaro with a bore-d out 350 with some 4.10 gear ratio with some CCR playin, now THAT ..... that's just ...... ah gawd why did the bearing on the camshaft have to go on it!!!!:344: makes me ache inside. you can get WAY more g force in a plane then a car. only thing a plane can't do is rip it 6 inches above the ground weaving in and out of cars. ahh! i need to go for a drive right now.

[mapleleaf4ever]

mmmmmmm Hemi... after awhile you learn to tune out the screams of fear from your Passengers. Trust me... there are a couple people on the Board here that have rode with me down the Malahat Highway at breakneck speeds. :kam: Just turn up the Jungle and turn down the wimp!

Dude, you can skim over the surface at 100 - 200' off the ground at 300km/h... that's the equivalent. If you fuck up at anywhere less than 1000' at that speed you've got essentially no chance of not hitting the ground. I personally have experienced 6G's... Be sure to wear Boxer Briefs, there are some things that you don't want Gravity pulling down on.
