What seemed weird when I visited your country
Ben:
Speaking of NASCAR, doing the Richard Petty Driving Experience at Daytona with a dozen other Brits who have no clue who Richard Petty might be, and were all taught to drive manual transmissions from the off, would definitely qualify
Method of Madness:
My Prius has a governor that limits it at 108. Yes, a Prius. If anyone says those cars are too slow they've never been in one.
cesium133:
The fastest I've ever taken my old Taurus is 75, though it was while driving up a steep hill, so it could probably manage a bit faster than that on flat land.
(The time I mentioned on the New Jersey Turnpike, I was driving my dad's car, and he gave me permission to drive that fast, because we'd be run over otherwise. :psyduck: )
bhtooefr:
I've had my Mk2 Golf 1.6 diesel to 90 indicated. Published maximum speed was 92. (52 horsepower, for what it's worth.)
Had my Miata up to 120 indicated, although with a car in front of me that was deflecting some of the air. (119 published maximum there, and I was down on power from stock, too.)
I know I've had my current modified Golf TDI above 100, but I can't recall how far. 140-150 hp there.
GarandMarine:
I've done 140 indicated in a car. That was fucking awesome. Not quite as adrenalin pumping as doing 110 in my old toyota corolla though
