Top speed??

Kaldaien

If you're doing 160 you should probably have a radar detector The new ones have GPS built-in and will read your speed much more precisely than the analog speedometer especially if you burnout the tires.

Silly kid...you have me confused with COSMO

radar detectors are a very nice piece of equipment to have.

Leave them bikes alone. The 600 cc ones will even embarrass you.

Agreed. I had a Ducati 1299 roll up next to me and wanted to play. Not gonna lie it was a lot of fun.

You mean a 1199? The 1299 was just announced. Panigale I assume>

Right on. Back in 1993 I had a CBR900RR tuned to 120 whp. Rider and bike weighed in at about 650lbs, 5.5 lbs/hp. Yes it was quick, 0-100 in about 6 seconds. Passing on 2 lane roads, no problem. The new version of that bike now has about 150whp. An amazing thrill to ride and hard to beat in a 370z.

But I like my z better. It is a nice compromise of speed, handling and safety for a daily driver.

According to Progressive Snapshot, mine tops out at 155 MPH. I just love the idea that somebody's going to look at my data and they're not allowed to cancel my policy based on the data

yes 1199. I was typing fast and hit the 2.

the new 1299's are sexy though

but I can never own a bike. I would be dead in <3 months after purchase.

How do they track this, with an app on your phone?

Both my Nismos (my 09 and my 10) bone stock the speedo read 155mph when they stopped accelerating.

I have an 08 Kawasaki ZX10R, dyno'd 178 at the rear wheel. and weighs around 500lb. I dont know of a car that will hand with it over 100mph, these things SCREAM

I enjoy how this thread is like

"The stupid forum won't let me talk about how these other cars wanted to "play" with me, so I'll just say I went 190mph but I won't tell the story"

You guys are idiots. Don't drive like an asshat. If you want to do this, go to a landspeed race (I have a few buddies going to an ECTA event pretty soon), disconnect the VSS, and tape up the front of your car to go fast.

why would I pay over $200 plus a membership fee to floor it for a mile?

if i'm spending that much i'll go do a track day.

Same here, I don't do it. I do HPDE and soon Lemons/Chump once my E30 is together.

At the same time $200 to floor it for a mile is much better than flooring it on the interstate, wrecking your car, killing people, loosing your license and hopefully going to jail for a good long time.

there's a difference between flooring it in traffic and waiting for optimal conditions. just because one might use their car's potential outside of a race track doesn't mean every single one does so irresponsibly.

i get what you're saying and i agree. but just relax about it.

last time i spoke about safety concerns on some awful stance build i got banned. gotta watch out about safety concerns around here lol
