How do you know you were doing 187?
Thats a good qusetion! Unless the speedometer had a digital readout or you had some sort of memory device or someone else was in the car reading the speedometer, I don't know how you could tell.
The fastest I've driven was about ~105 mph. It's tough to say cause I could BARELY glance at my gauges for a split second before my eyes were back on the road.

I did about 100 mph earlier today on a highway.
I was about to go a bit faster but then my radar detector warned me there is a cop nearby which saved me from getting a ticket.

mavric 05 I know a little about LS1 Camaros and there is no way in hell you did 187 with the mods you claim to have. Intake, exhaust, ECU...sorry its just not happening. The LS2 in the Vette is good for 186, your car didn't make enough power to push you up that high. Don't try and lie about fastest you've gone its not a contest!

Yeah, I have a Cobra XRS-9930 that I got couple weeks ago. It blew my entire saving for like 3 weeks just to get that but it really do work.
Speed limit is 70 mph here on I-90 highway but no one actually follows it. There are lots of other cars doing 85+ mph. 70 mph feels a bit slow if you're on a highway and also I want to see how good my Z performs. Haven't used it for like 2 weeks because of rain.

Will you quit bashing him?? LS1s can go that fast. Stock LS1s go like 150-160 so I see how a slightly moded LS1 could make it to 180-190. If you don't believe me go to www.LS1.com/forums (http://www.LS1.com/forums).

Yeah so we can believe those guys? lol... If a car does 160 stock, it's going to take a hell of a lot more than some 'slight mods' to get it up 30 mph. If you don't believe me go to a track and ask some real racers, not some guys on an LS1 forum trying to outdo each other.

ok dude ha ha but i didn't sell it, it was totaled an i have a picture of it after the wreck. and no i am workin on a wimpy little VW now, i want it to be faster than a z06 but that won't be for a longggg time. i dunno what all my camaro had gotten b4 i bought it i just know what i did to it. and it was a lil lighter cause it only weighed about 3,300lbs and my friends 2002 SS weighed 3,500lbs

He's right, please don't lie. NOBODY believes you. Your grammer is pretty bad, how did you ever get the money to buy a 300km/h car? A camaro will never reach that speed with intake/exhaust mods, which is like a 5hp gain, and ECU mod which is like....40 hp at the most. I have no clue how much extra speed ecu mods give you, but I know it can't boost your speed as much as you claim.

This was a while ago now, I managed somewhere between 115-120mph in my Focus, its a 1.6 and i was going down a slight hill at the time on the M6( I think) on the way back from Birmingham heading towards London, at the most it'll do 115 with my foot to the floor on a flat road. Its alot easier to do these sorts of speeds on UK motorways, most the people in the fast lane are doing at least 90, and if your going faster than most the people the majority of people have the decency to move out the way.

Heh, some people over here where I live would move out of the way but others would stay in the lane and keep moving very slowly which would allow you to pass them anyways.
The day I did 105 MPH in my car was one of the moments where I was glad the guy moved out of the way to show me a couple miles of open lane in front of me. It was like a literal door of opportunity had opened up.

Looks/Feels great when they move out the way and its just empty in front, i like driving on the motorway at night because of that, cos its just pitch black ahead and ur just flooring it. You can take corners at high speeds too if u got the balls and the car to do it, I took one corner at 100 and it was kinda scary cos the amount of Lateral G is more than what u would experience on a normal road goin fast, if u had a car stable enough it would be cool i guess (cant wait for that day)

Yeah, I took a corner on the freeway at 90 and felt the difference than if I was to go 70. The car really felt like it was sticking to the road almost to the point of massive torque steer. But yeah, my car's been known to be pushed side to side under some good wind at around 70 - 75 MPH. Also, some parts of the freeway have a huge cracked line running from the left shoulder to about the second to left lane which can have your car be pushed into that direction if you drive over it. There's also a long crack that rides along the left shoulder and I have been known to hit it going 80 and it's not too pretty (I have a tendency to sometimes get really close to the left shoulder when I turn on the freeway).

I get what you mean about the car being stuck to the road but depending on what car your in it could end up being a disaster(sp?) with a high centre of gravity your car could easily lift up onto two wheels if u turn fast enough, but like i said it depends on the car you have. I've experienced strong wings on the motorway and it aint a good idea to drive fast, im sure the speed limit on the motorway in america is 55?

That's what they say when "55 saves lives". But the average legal speed limit is between 65 - 75 (65 in the slow lane and 75 in the fast lane).

Fastest I've driven: Between 120-125mph in my 2001 Acura Integra. (The one in the picture). This was back in 2003. It's dead now though. Totaled it doing around 80-85 mph on a curvy road and rolled over in the woods. Lost control in wet weather. Bad decision. I stopped driving fast for about 2 years. My decision making skills got better so now I only drive fast on open highway, not one lane curvy roads at night in wet weather.
I hit 110mph today in my 2001 Civic EX coming up Interstate 95. I was doing 100-110 for about a mile. It was crazy. Traffic is horrible near northern virginia and D.C. and there are lot of cops in the area but I was coming back from Richmond and between Kings Dominion and Stafford (about 15-20 miles) there is almost no traffic and no cops for the most part. I was crusing at 75mph in the middle lane and when I got to that area I just described in the previous sentence, I decided to let my car loose and see what it could do. Its completely stock and will stay that way since I am getting a sportsbike in a month and hopefully a STi next summer, but I still enjoy speed. I was going right over 100 and was coming up on a car in the middle lane and the driver mustve crapped their pants because before I even had time to get over to the left lane to pass him they swerved to the far right lane. They mightve been going 65 because the speed limit is 65 on that highway. Seemed like he was sitting still when I passed him. I cant wait until I get the sportbike and hit 170.
Fastest Ive ever been in a car was a 2000 BMW 528i. This happened in early 2000 when I was just learning to drive, but my dad was driving. My dad hit approximately 130 for only a few seconds. Moment of insanity by him that was never experienced again thanks to my mom. Our entire family was in the car heading to my grandmas house and my brother and I were in awe. Even though it was a sunny, clear day on a straight country road with no other cars my mom put an end to that fun with one look to my dad. He was grinning ear to ear. He plans on getting a 911 turbo next year when he retires. He might have to take it out on the highway without my mom.

oh, did anyone know that the Viper drag coefficient is 0.4?
The Hennesey Venom 1000 twin turbo Viper has run speeds faster then 200 MPH and is said to have a theoretical top speed of 255 MPH.

780+ HP will go a long way. A very long way.
A formula 1 chassis can run 250+ mph on 700 HP.
Still though, I did not mention the aerodynamic drag number without reason. The car causes significantly more drag then a formula 1 car to stick with that example or a veyron.
EDIT:: sorry my mistake...i did it with NOS a 40 shot...
you "forgot" NOS but did not forget to fill the bottle?
How far do you think a 40 shot brings you?
What exactly do you think nitrous oxide does to a car?
It gives you extra power. A 40 shot, hence it's name, will give you an extra 40 HP.
Did you install a nitrous system on a dodge?
What kind of system are you using?
you make yourself sound like someone who is looking for a way out of a bad lie. Give me the specs on the setup and I might believe you. A 400 shot sounds more like the needed spec though. A 400 shot will cause severe stress on the manifolds and various other components and can if setup improperly, cause cold spots in the intake manifold making it crack or even worse, cause nitrous backfire and cause your bottle to fly out of your trunk.

Dec 27, 2006, 1:11 PM
tuner cars using nitrous oxide generally have smaller engines.
The Viper 8.3 liter engine can handle/should be able to handle a bit more then a 2 liter 4 inline. I've seen 400 shot nitrous on a 428 ford engine before.

the solitaire
Dec 27, 2006, 1:30 PM
as far as I'm informed ferraris, lambos and porsches don't like nitrous oxide.
Their engines are generally constructed with narrower margins then used in stock consumer market engines and therefor more sensitive towards energy/pressure peaks.
I've seen turbos and superchargers used. They generally don't cause peaks if the setup is built and installed properly.

there are some i can believe, and some, by there post, you can tell are talking pure bullsh*t!. they're embarrising them selves, really badly!Very true... but most are full of shiit...
no im not kidding
oh and the Viper had 781HP...You're lying. Simple as that. You might as well stop while you're ahead. I used to like you. You've just lost all respect from everyone here and nobody will ever believe a damn thing you say from here on out...
781 HP will go a long way if you dont know!I know exactly how far it will go. It won't take a Viper to 240 though. I love how you set a world record in a Viper but don't 'remember where it was'. A 40 shot huh? Then you should know what kind of nitrous system it was. How many stages. What kind of plate. Come on... prove yourself.
That's what I thought...
1001 goes 254....781 won't go 241...
u need 8 extra hp to increase speed by 1 mph.First... I want you to know that I'm not calling you a liar... I'm calling whoever the hell told you that a liar. This isn't an audio amp, there is no standard for what you need to increase speed.
Anyway, sure 781 hp will go 241... In a 1200 pound slot car! Not a Viper... If a Viper had the gear ratios to go 241 with 781 hp it would be so tall it would take 12 years to get there! lol
400 shot? whoa!!!
max i have seen on tuner cars is a 300.There are 400+ shots. There are triple stage systems for use on salt flat cars that basically equal a 600 horsepower increase. Problem is you have to tear the engine apart after every run. lol...
true...but some nutters do that.i remember having a pic of a SLR mc laren with a nos tank in the boot.
You can get nitrous kits for any car. NOS will set one up for a Renault Le Car and I know that Brownwood Speed Shop in SoCal will make one for a Veyron.

@ dodge dude93 ..... i checked your profile , but aren't you 12 years old ? waw that's very impressive , you did 249mph in a Viper , a 12 years old did 249mph in a Viper guys !!! your name must be written in "guinness book" !!
I don't see why anyone would lie in this Forum ! i mean you can lie on your girlfriend , on your DADDY, on your ****ing teacher , but not in SCF bro!

@ monkey....
the 781 hp was for the viper.long gear ratios.
but that 8hp thing...i heard it on top gear/5th gear.and tiff needel said that....so that's not rite?

the amount of power needed to increase a cars top speed is dependant on a lot of factors.
One would be car weight, another would be the cars drag coefficient, yet another teh current top speed as the power needed to further increase the top speed increases not in a straight line but in a curve that becomes steeper the faster the car is currently running.
These factors make it so that for nearly every car a different amount of power is needed to increase the top speed by 1 mph.
This is not even taking the gearing into account.

what i heard was after 200mph the wind gets too strong.the main 2 things that can push the top speed further are aerodynamics and power.....so it that wrong or partially rite.wrong?

Monkey, are you seriously trying to tell us that an extra 40 shot of NOS isn't going to take you over 200 MPH??? :D I'm not sure if I ever posted my new personal best. It's 167 MPH in the 996. On the way out to visit the wife's family in Wisconsin. And NO, I didn't pass anyone going nearly that fast, I waited till I had a clear straight shot so that if anything happened I only killed myself. Is that responsible, still no, driving that quickly should really be on a track, but it was one of those things I did once and won't do again.

That would be (partially) right.
When drag is the only limiting factor more power would be guided to the wheels to increase speed or drag would have to be reduced.
Reducing drag can only be done by means of aerodynamic measures.
Increasing power applied to the wheels can be done in many ways. A change in gearing could be one, increasing engine power would be another method. Changes in gearing don't work miracles but can make a small difference. Redusing losses in transmission on the other hand could make a significant difference. At the stage where drag is the limiting factor weight no longer has much of an influence on top speed.

but that 8hp thing...i heard it on top gear/5th gear.and tiff needel said that....so that's not rite?No that's not right... Solitaire explained it well. There is no set formula for increasing speed. Just like drag racing. Let's say you have a 250 hp car that runs 14's in the 1/4 mile. It's possible to drop a full second off that car by ading 100 or 125 hp. Now let's say you have an 850 hp car that runs 9 flat. Add 100 or 125 hp to that 850 and you might take off 3 tenths or so... There are just too many different things involved...
Monkey, are you seriously trying to tell us that an extra 40 shot of NOS isn't going to take you over 200 MPH??? Hell man, I had a stock Civic that I put a 40 shot on... Got 300 mph with it! lol

i mainly do city driving, especially now that its snowing. but the fastest ive ever gone was about 95-100mph on the freeway when i was still trying to get my license with a 65-year-old woman sitting next to me, my mom cowering in the back and cars, even cops and old ladies, still passing me

I just turned 18 so..
fastest I've done was about 110mph in a 2004 Camry V6
85+mph in a 2007 Scion tC (took a while to get it up there.. :D)
about 75mph in a 1500 Ram SLT Quad Cab
and a little bit over 80mph in my 00 Corolla. (took even longer than the scion)
but the fastest I've ever been in a vehicle, not driving myself was over 130mph in a somewhat tuned Lexus IS300 in Las Vegas back in 2001 when it was brand new before my cousin completely wrecked it. In all fairness, he was hit by a drunk driver, wasn't his fault. :p
but yeah, until I'm filthy rich and own a decent sports car I don't see myself going much faster than that. :|
