Clutch said:130 in a 2000 cavilier is fun,
120 in a 1966 mustang is funner,
140 in a 1987 Merkur XR4Ti (heavily modded) is funnest!
I beg to differ... going over 100MPH in a 93 Nissan Micra is funniest...
not least because it's stupidly dangerous, but also because the needle reaches unchartered teritory on the clock as there are no marking past 100MPH!
Assuming that you have the correct conditions and control I don't really see a problem with speeding perse... though I realise the control aspect of that statement is open to opinion because different people have different ideas of control. I'm sure the driver of the porsche relied on all the electronics contained withint the car to do most of the actual driving for them.
faster experiance I had was in a car (porsche) with my boss... on a dual carrigeway. I could see the speedo, reached 100 on the down ramp, got up to around 200Mph, about 30 seconds later were breaking for the red light at the top of the exit ramp... which isn't bad from a standing startthe road was a little over a mile long...
and whilst I was sure that he could control the car, it was a little hair raising.
