i belive it.......55 is pretty open plus me and my buddy were doing 130 on 42 in his 96 formula. The car was takin 130 with no problem and still pulling.

55 IS a good speeding road... done ~ a buck 20 there

hell..i did a buck 40 on 206, anything is possible

i did 172mph on my ninja a few weeks back, but corrected for speedo error, it was like 168, still fun as all hell, next summer im buying a liter bike so i can break 200

i did 101 mph on the turnpike once.... just to get into TRIPLE DIGITS and say i was moving that good to all my friends with fast cars.....

my friend hit 110ish with me in his 98 z28 6 speed and i felt the front tires start to get light from all the air being forced under the front air dam.... his car was noo joke at those high speeds... fastest thing i ever been in...


ps... how do you know you were doing 170? do you have a 200mph speedo?

math calculations and datalogging

sounds like a race car to me.....

Ron had a point the car can hit 160mph in a standing mile to in another half a mile he tops out then on the 3 mile stretch by him he has another 1.5 miles to slow down and if this is done in the early morning probly like 5 am on a sunday there is not 1 car on that stretch. I have never been on rt.55 nor do i live near it but down south there are some back roads that are pretty straight.

cause he was in 6th and the car stopped pulling but the rev-limiter wasn't maxed out. He hit the 170 speed limiter which he set FOR the 3.73 gears with HPtuners. I believe ever word it, and I think any one who gone for a night time ride with him would agree. That car handles awesome under high speed it feels real secure around 140, so with the KYBs set to 8 I see no reason the aerodynamics wouldn't take effect and hold the road tight

:drive: "***** the police, *****, *****, ***** the police..."

u guys are nuts!!!! However, at that speed ur better of tryin to ditch the cops...

Cop - "excuse me son, so you know how ******** fast you were goin?!!"
Son - "obiously not fast enough..."

jeeez i did 135 on friday night and i thought i was going fast lol. Couldn't even imagine what 170 feels like.

Yeh if ur doin 170 cops would look like a blur u could always say officer i didnt see you :-p,, or u can keep pushing it and lose them lol soooo illegal

ooo... well by all means my friend doesnt have any KYBs at 8...

my friend hit 110ish with me in his 98 z28 6 speed and i didnt feel that safe or tight.... i really felt the front tires start to get light from all the air being forced under the front air dam and a little possible nose lift.... his car was noo joke at those high speeds... fastest thing i ever been in i could never imagine 170...


whats that bad boy turn in the 1/4s if his standing mile is 170?

That kinda speed on a public road is assanine, you're lucky you didn't end up splattered on a tree somewhere.

theres a decent amount of cops on 55, ive done 115 on maple ave and lincoln ave. either way its pretty stupid to go that fast anyway.

I told ron, to pick me up, Ill put on a helmet and a cup, and Ill take the video of the datalogging, but i told him he has to wear ear plugs and their will be no sound on the video, because ill be screaming like a little b!tch!

lol nah, just bolt ons when i hit 170. i actually hit 172 2 years back, when i was a lid and catback car on rt 55. it just took longer time to get to that speed lol

lol i was in 5th gear, 6th gear wont pull lol. i need like 500hp for 6th to pull i think, but the rest is all correct there!

lol, I'd love to, but i'd rather go solo dude. I'll make turbo noises for ya if you want tho lol

It is a feeling like no other my friend. i felt strangely comfortable

Some of you folks must remember, if you dont already know, rt 55 is a freeway, 2 lanes in each direction, big grass median. great for excessive speed in some parts. i do this once in a while, on good weather days only; i know what parts of the road are good and bad. I dont go hucking myself at high speeds if theres traffic, or if i see something in the road ahead. my tires are Z rated, my suspension is very good. it does not float, it stays tight and straight.

Also, Remember this- I didnt go posting about how smart/safe it is to do 170mph, so no need to argue, or tell me how stupid and dangerous it is, i already knew that before i went over the speedlimit :nod: Even in the most controlled situations, ***** happens.
You only live once; My day will come when it is time.

i think you passed "sooo illegal" at around 110

this kind of display of speed on public roads is exactly why so many politicians are looking to shut our hobby down. we are going to put an end to this discussion now, before any more ammo is handed out to those who seek to ruin the hobby we enjoy.

I'll save my license and do 170 in the quarter..
