Top Speed?

Just wondering what fast you all have gone so far.

I have done 108mph, and still had plenty of room to go faster.

Reached that speed on a backroad that has a fairly straight segment, that I am also confident about the lack of police. It's not that long though, and both ends of the straight end in severe turns.

I don't mean to be rude... well, actually yes I do. This is the 4th thread on this exact subject in the past week or so. SEARCH before starting a new thread. Try "top + speed"

I got the point from the two posts before you. Other than your need to say it again, there has been no activity in this thread.


Now, I really don't want to be rude, but, let it go people. If it's soooo bothersome, request that a moderator remove it.

And before you go off on why it's so bothersome, don't, cuz I get it. Too much clutter. Most of the time I do a search, this time, I just didn't. Please accept my apologies...

I hit 147mph, and everything started to go black....I woke up on the side of the road with all my clothes on backwards and a strange aching in my sinuses. What could it mean?

Thanks for that. I don't mind too much. I understand how people start to feel like it's "their house".

Anyway, I think that I need to find a long straight road and push a little harder.

Worried about a 135mph in a 55 zone ticket looks like though. That, I just don't need.

@VolareRX8
some of the ******** here do like to do searches and it is bothersome when soooo many threads pop up about the same damn thing instead of one comprehensive thread.

He apologized, apology accepted now go insult someone else.

psionic1 - that is my sarcastic sense of humor. No harm meant.

And VolareRX8, after you're here for a while I can't wait to see one of your posts instructing a newbie to do a search. Like after the 50th time in a month you see someone post some crap like your priceless thread asking what the 0-60 time of the 8 is.

no worries PW. Like I said, I get it. My reaction was this:

First person gives me a link, that was very polite, and enough.

Second and third people were less polite, and in caps no less.

Keep in mind that doing a search works really well when searching for facts, not so well when searching for advice, or opinion.

Keep in mind also that doing a search will often return many threads, and searching through them can be a real drag. And yes, I see that there are advanced search options.

All that said, doing a search for Top Speed would have been prudent on my part.

Anyway, no harm, no foul. I may be a new member here, but not a rookie at discussion boards in general. It always takes a while to get the feel of the community though.

I am over it, and moving on. Maybe I will start a new thread on how fast the 8 can go from 0 to 60
