Damn bro... lol... I was kidding.
Oh, damn. You didn't write lol. You usually write it. :p

Seriously, if you're in an Interstate Highway or Freeway.. whichever you want to call it, 80 mph feels like 60.

The Murano is really stable even when you reach high speeds.

The only scary thing is when you're in the middle of 2 huge trucks. Most of them have like 34 wheels.I do know what it feels like to drive a freeway... lol. I'm not THAT far out in the boonies! lol...

btw... Most of them have 18 wheels...

btw... Most of them have 18 wheels...most...not all.
I've seen 28...and they don't take it easy when it comes to speed.

Yep, that one's got 28. I've got one of those trailers. In fact, if he was using his booster he'd have 32. I've got a Super 90. It's a 90 foot three piece with a total of 40 tires. My point was not to be a smart ass or prove someone wrong just to point out that what Erik said about 'most have like 34 wheels' was incorrect.

That one's actually flagged wrong. There should be a flag at each corner on the trailer and then two on the front of the truck and the red rags he's got tied to the gen set don't count.

Why are you telling me this anyway? I own a trucking company! lol :)

ive done about 50mph tops
which i think is quite good for a nipper
in my fathers RRS S/C
he was, infact, more scared than me

I'm not gonna do anything. hehe

Crusing in I-94. I took the picture while going slow during traffic.

Damn that V6 has good torque. Our truck would be up at 3,000rpm at that speed, and probably vibrating a little. But of course, those damn inline-4's....it's all top end.

You're telling me I'm wrong? Come over here. I'm gonna...Like I said, you're not wrong about there being trailers with that many tires, there's just not many... at least not in the US. We don't need them that badly.

I often see trucks with 3-5 sets of doubled up wheels. Quite often they're transporting heavy steel or dirt, but I do see them alot. Though it could have something to do with where I live, I suppose.

It's not really torque that affects rpm @ a certain speed (it's always measured by what rpm is being done at 70mph in top gear here in the UK to see which car is a good cruiser), it's mostly the gearing...

I can keep my Pete at 1200 rpm (plus or minus 100 rpm) from a stop all the way to 70. Try that in a car! lol

what car do you drive and doesnt have 6 gears?

A Pete... Peterbilt... Big truck... lots of torque... 18 gears...

But he's talking about a 'truck'...


http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/6301/desktoppeterbilt2005xo2.jpg

I will go off topic.
I want from someone to tell me some infos about these trucks like, horsepower, torque, etc.
Has anybody from USA heard Scania trucks? Just curious.

What do you want to know? My new one's got a 15 liter straight 6 Cat engine, turbo diesel, 625 hp, 1950 ft-lbs torque, 18 speed, 24.5 Alcoa rims, 120" sleeper, wireless internet, GPS, it came with a cd player but I've replaced the stereo system... anything else?

^^^ That sounds awesome to be honest, lol.

105 in moms 2006 Volkswagen Jetta.

^ (to Monkey) My God...you could live in it!!

My drivers do live in them. That's the point of the sleeper. They're fully contained other than a bathroom and there are some that have those too (They're for full run over the road team drivers though. Those trucks don't stop).

speaking of trucks......we were really close in getting into an accident because of a truck. The tread flew off, and this was in rush hour with traffic moving at around 50, but really congested. anyways, the tread flew off, hit the car in front of his, of course we were in a car so we couldn't see what was going on. so the car in front of us veered off the road and the next thing we knew was big tread heading for us, so we veered off the road and luckily it didn't hit us

Ahh, the wall separated. That happens when trucks use really cheap tires I believe, or have put too many miles on them.

What I meant is that, because it has good torque, they were able to gear it to run at a very low rpm.

Thank you monkey. You can live in this truck like your house. Great. These trucks are so big. Thanks again for the info..

Ahh, the wall separated. That happens when trucks use really cheap tires I believe, or have put too many miles on them.That has nothing to do with the sidewall. It happens to recap tires when the steel belts shift. This causes the layers to seperate. It has nothing to do with the tires being cheap... it just happens sometimes. That's why you should NEVER drive in a big trucks wake (from the nose of the tractor to about 100 feet behind it on either side).

Wireless Internet.. sleeper.. GPS.. that's SICK!!

How much do those trucks usually cost??

That's why you should NEVER drive in a big trucks wake (from the nose of the tractor to about 100 feet behind it on either side).

the amount of people that drive real close to trucks is crazy. once i was driving and the road was wet, but it wasn't raining, and a car was driving so close behind a truck that he had to have his windscreen wipers on. its not like you arrive faster by being right up the trucks ass

I did 31mph in a 30mph zone today.

I live on the edge of danger.

There have been independant government studies done that show the fact that less than 10% of the accidents in the United States involving Class 7 and Class 8 trucks (eighteen wheelers) are NOT the truck driver's fault. People cut in front of trucks, tail gate them, drive in the truck's blind spot RIGHT NEXT to the little sign on the trailer that says BLIND SPOT! lol...

Chookes , you are just the height of toomuchery.

I went...well actually , me , the driver & the whole (yes , all of it) car were moving at around 80 kilos when a Nissan Silvia came barrelling past at what seemed like 5 million miles an hour.

But after putting 2 & 2 together , I came out with 4.012. And speedos don't go up to 5 million.

Seriously though , he was moving (obviously). Atleast 200 or more.

Now , I'll be the first one to not condone that sort of behaviour but when you're going relatively slow & then a car comes past at atleast over 200 , it kinda makes you go ''whoa'' for that second or so.

You're going to hell for speeding mister!!! lol

Ah, you're just jealous because you don't have the balls to keep up with me ;).

Wes, the Silvia sucks. Buy a Focus. I swear, at 31mph, it felt so planted and stable. I would compare it to the Veyron at 253mph. Huge speeds but I still felt safe, like the car was hugging me while I sped.

The lollipop man I almost ran over felt less safe.

That goes to show that driving way too slow can be just as dangerous as driving too fast. Sure, you think you're nice and safe puttering along at 70km/h less than the posted limit, but sh1t, you're only holding up other cars and someone could crash into you if they're not expecting anyone to go THAT slow.

165 in a mazda rx-7 twin turbo..1993:)

That's damn fast for a 1993 RX-7. Was it modified?

You guys over in Scotland are brave man... absolutely crazy! I wish I had the guts to drive so fast! lol

You laugh but anything over 30mph is crazy because every 5 seconds a crazed looking sheep walks onto the road infront of you. Scotland is dangerous for driving because of them little fluffy clouds with legs.

They are, however, superb with potatoes on a Sunday though.

^ Yeah, and the mint sauce.

A little off topic, but I should be booking my driving test in maybes 2 weeks. oooooooo Scary. But then I can legally start driving all by myself. Which will be good lol.

Fastest I've been to date was around 60 ish on a dual carriageway, behind a lorry, giving off a load of spray. Quite a unique experience that was. Not being able to see on what is one of the worst roads in the north east.

That's damn fast for a 1993 RX-7. Was it modified?Probably not. The published top speed of the 93 RX-7 Turbo was right around 160 and most cars will run a little looser after this many years...

i would aim for them lol, also monkey how does the wireless internet work? is there a satellite or something lol,

Yes, it's satellite internet service. You can get it for laptops now too...

Are you serious? lol... Here we have to deal with deer, cows, and chickens on the road. Kansas is a free range state too so if you hit a cow it's your fault! lol

Haha, those dumb deers. Everytime we see them as road kill, me mom cries out "Bambi!!!!".....and evil little me is laughing in the side. lol I can't believe you have cows and chickens running around! that's just awsome, it's like India, except if you hit a cow there thats just moraly wrong if you are hindu.

The cows are penned in fields but every once in a while one of them will push their way through it and get out on the road.

Probably not. The published top speed of the 93 RX-7 Turbo was right around 160 and most cars will run a little looser after this many years...



I just thought that seemed wierd because I think the RX-8 is even more powerful than the old RX-7 and it only tops out at 140mph or so.

I just thought that seemed wierd because I think the RX-8 is even more powerful than the old RX-7 and it only tops out at 140mph or so.
Off the top of my head I think the Twin-turbo has 300HP

In 1993 it was 255 horsepower (and ran like twice that) and yes BR, it was damn near a supercar for it's time. I would take a 1993 RX-7 R1 and challenge damn near anyone to keep up with me through Ortega Highway in pretty much anything stock.

It was an amazing car. The third generation was one of the most unique looking and sexy cars ever made.

Are you serious? lol... Here we have to deal with deer, cows, and chickens on the road. Kansas is a free range state too so if you hit a cow it's your fault! lol

Well I'm not really being serious, I was very much exaggerating. Although we hardly ever get cows, deers aren't unusual on our roads. But then again, neither are children. We tend to miss both of those because they can fairly do damage to your car but sometimes we're too lazy to hit the brake.

Hey, ask me this time if I'm being serious ;).

By the way, 60mph in an old Suzuki Swift is not fun. Worst car I've ever driven.

20 in a Swift isn't fun! lol



I'm scared to know if you're serious! lol

so what all the people that have been inside a swift is true?

20 in a Swift isn't fun! lol



I'm scared to know if you're serious! lol

The Swift by far is worse than syphallus. At least no one can see I have syphallus. I would love to know what the new Swift is like compared to the old thing. I couldn't get my hands round the stupid stalks either, being on the opposite sides. Trying to turn off and my wipers were going full blast. Annoying.

And no, I'm not being serious. I avoid deers at all costs. They DEFINATELY damage your car, as opposed to the children who are quite light and more squishy.

When I was out drinking a couple of weekends ago, an old guy started talking to me and my mate and told he was driving a 2.2L Vectra SRi. It's a quick car (compared to mine and my mate's car, Focus 1.6 and Astra SXi) so we were impressed for a while. Until he told us he had hit 164mph in it. I don't know how, especially considering I had drink in me, I didn't fall on the ground and piss myself laughing. Guys, if you want something quick, buy a Vectra SRi. Apparently.

What's the R1? Is that like a super sport version?

By the way, 60mph in an old Suzuki Swift is not fun. Worst car I've ever driven.
imagine the same swift with a 1.3l engine with nitrous runs 12.7.
and some more run vtec 106 bhp engines g16b 94 bhp and the twin cam 100 bhp its scary in these cars.

I'm imaging it and I can imagine myself crapping my pants. The thing is unbelievably poor to drive with the power it has, any more power and it'll be far too dangerous.

Kudos to the driver, he obviously has bigger balls than I would ever have.

What's the R1? Is that like a super sport version?

just the first of the 3rd generation models. R2 had upgrades and so on...

Pawan supports baleno's because he owns one. But it's a bit hard to believe that a 1.3l engine in a baleno can run this time.

no i dont own a baleno its a 1.3 l engine in a suzuki zen which weighs 700 kgs the car has all its parts removed and replaced with fiber wait till this year end when the official drag happens when i will put up a video of that car it is wicked fast yes with the fiber the car must weigh some where about 600 or 550 kgs.

baleno come with the g16b 94 bhp engines 1.6l.

Sorry mate. My bad. I didn't know that you don't have a car. But through the discussion i though that you own a baleno. Weird. :|

just the first of the 3rd generation models. R2 had upgrades and so on...Not exactly... See below:

What's the R1? Is that like a super sport version?There were 3 RX-7 models offered... The Base model, the Touring model, and in 1993, the R1.

So I would assume the R1 is the more performance oriented model, right?

i know about those Monkey. But wasn't the First of the third generations made in 1993? R stands for the top dog with z tires and few mods. That i do know. I have always tough that the R1 is from 93, R2 94, R3 95 and so on...

Yeah, you're right...

160mph in a twin turbo supra

161mph in a Corvette C6.

161mph in a Corvette C6.

:eek:............:cool:

What's the story behind that?

When I read Vee's post I realized I had to go out and beat his top speed. So I got my friend's C6, and we installed NOS and glued on a GT-R badge. We had to slow down after 161mph b/c my muffin fell behind the seat...

Its illegal in America to purchase alcohol under the age of 21


This has gotten off topic ... the fastest i have gone is in between 85-90 mph in a 2001 nissan frontier. the speedometer is messed up so you can't tell.

drove 176 mph in an E60 M5

I've personally driven at ~90mph in a Honda Fit.

Yeah. I suck.

EDIT: Hang on... I did about 80mph in a Go-Kart.

That didn't suck.

120 mph in a VW Passat rent car in france :p

I've personally driven at ~90mph in a Honda Fit.

Yeah. I suck.

EDIT: Hang on... I did about 80mph in a Go-Kart.

That didn't suck.

:eek: 80 in a go-kart!!!!! Where, and how, and why, and ok i'm speechless. What was it like going so fast in such a small little thing, and what kinda kart was it?!

Almost 100 mph in a 300C when my Uncle Bruce visit a couple of weeks ago. Poor Chrysler he drove the sh1t out of it.

I didn't know that n wright. But most people are not obeying the law.

drove 167 mph in an E60 M5

thats a bit accurate lol, i would be too scared to look at the speedo long enough to know that exact speed,

Not that I'm one for sticking up for people in these threads, but, the M5 has a HUD, making it very easy too see the speed.

My test in a week !!!

lol i wasnt doubting him, im just saying thats a hell of a speed.
im presuming the owner of the car had the limiter removed ?

220 KPH in my friend's ALFA 156 :D

220 KPH in my friend's ALFA 156 :D
Was it a 1.6 litre Alfa? What year? 1998? My dad has reached 200km/h with our Alfa. We could have gone at 220km/h.

drove 167 mph in an E60 M5
That sounds a bit fishy. But whatever, I'll get my friend's C6 Vette and try to go for 168mph. And hope this time, my muffin does NOT fall behind the seat.

I didn't know that n wright. But most people are not obeying the law.

ya, funny thing is a very large percentage of people under 21 drink anyways ... 90%?

The fastest i have driven is 40mph in a ford fiesta.

Bear in mind i am a learner.

an honest member, i think we need to open the champagne :)

I forgot to tell you guys I got to make a pass in a buddy of mines T/A rail during the time trials this weekend... I forgot how good it feels to launch that hard.

what was your time?

5.74 at 255. It wasn't my car so I took it easy in it. Mark (the car owner) has run 5.30's in it. He's setting it up for next season to run the circuit. He lost a bet with me... that's the only reason he let me near the cockpit of his car. lol... The beginning of the year was the last time I'd seen him and we were running easy passes and pulling mid 9's in the Monte trying to get the suspension tweaked right. A guy I do business with here in town just finished building a 65 Impala with an 1100 horse 572 big block. The things a freakin monster. Anyway, he wanted us to go with him for his first shakedown run and me not needing an excuse to run my car, decided to take the Monte. Mark came over and was telling me about the rail and I told him the Monte was pulling mid 8's now. He didn't believe me because there's nothing different about the car than before. I neglected to tell him I was running it easy last time he saw it when I told him that if I could pull an 8.5 I got to make a pass in his rail. He laughed and said okay. I ran an 8.50 with a 5! lol...

btw... I beat my buddies Impala by six tenths... lol

5.74 quarter mile and you were taking it easy lol, never thought i would hear that lol, any pics?

I forgot to tell you guys I got to make a pass in a buddy of mines T/A rail during the time trials this weekend... I forgot how good it feels to launch that hard.
How does that feel good? Ow!!!! lol

5.74 quarter mile and you were taking it easy lol, never thought i would hear that lol, any pics?lol... Taking it easy is backing off the throttle at 3/4 track.

How does that feel good? Ow!!!! lolIt feels like someone swung a wrecking ball into you! lol

Actually, anyone can do it. It just takes money for the tests, the fuel, the insurance, and renting a car. I already have a Class 1 license so I can run anyone's car but if you really want to know what it's like just apply for a Class 2 Type A NHRA license, save up some money, and don't eat the wall... lol

Thread "Whats the fastest speed you driven at, and in what car?"

Unfortunetly, nigh on 180kmph in my '93 TR Mitsushitti Magnaghini. All in the name of science, I have a speedo and I'll use what I like of it.

160kmph (whoo, yeah... *****-footing around) in Ver.5 FD3S

ya, funny thing is a very large percentage of people under 21 drink anyways ... 90%?
Yes. This is a large percentage. Maybe this percentage is bigger.

Unfortunetly, nigh on 180kmph in my '93 TR Mitsushitti Magnaghini. All in the name of science, I have a speedo and I'll use what I like of it.

160kmph (whoo, yeah... *****-footing around) in Ver.5 FD3S

You got a Magna? I hope they confiscated your testicles.

Unfortunetly. $2,500 off a firend of my parents. Immaculate. Removed the bogan muffler with big oval tip (typical Bwah sound) and replaced with OE muffler. R33 GTS-T 16"s, lowering springs on Monroe shocks (both not my doing either).


And oh man, does that 2.6L Astron lump up front pull hard. It'd make a great boat anchor.

Still pulling hectic whips in your SS bro?

Afraid not. A quarterlife crisis compelled me to sell it to my old man and buy a (cheap) Mk3 Supra. All proceeds are supposed to go to a house.

Yeah, like that'll ever happen.

Still, plenty of fun to be had, though I'm still trying to clean off all the rice the last owner put into it, and then unroot the motor and other moving parts, then I'll sell it on for a few g more than I paid for it and buy a who knows what.

Who did you steal the FD off?

7M-GTE?

MKIII's still a bit heavy. Could never own a Supra myself.

FD is my brother's, and **** me dead it feels pure sportscar. Petite and lithe, cosy tucked seating position. Feels great.

I'd never complain again about the Magna if it had even the gearbox of the FD. The Magna's feels like you're stirring a simmerring pot of **** and rocks where the FD's is tightly packed, good throw, solid feel and so precise. Sigh. I need one.

7M indeed, but only weighs 1450ish kg. Compared to say, a commonwhore, it's a hell of a difference. That plus 250hp, sway bars, good rubber and a lead foot have led to some serious laughs.


I know what you mean about the RX. My cousin got a series 8 a few months back, I've never driven anything like it. There is, however, a distinct lack of bowel moving torque, but when you're as low to the ground and running as high a boost as his, you don't really care.

Your bro's been done up?

Rebuilt not too long ago, 2mm seals (some brand), Power FC - 1 bar boost, turbo-back SMB system (as used by the original RX-7 SP racers at Bathurst 24hr etc.) and recently front mount intercoolerised (as you most probaly saw from your cousins, SMIC is about as big as a deck of cards)

After new in-tank fuel pump and fuel pressure reg. FMIC + tune, expecting 220-225rwkW.

Made 190rwkW with boost only, 208rwkW with SMB.

Yes, certainly no Veyron thump but smooth linear power. At home in the corners.

Magna with quoted 105kW fly power, 1340kg, fwd wobbly chassis, deaf mute steering and no-name tires makes for safe fun in the wet. Spins 2nd out of quickish 2nd gear corners in the wet, ulleh. But it's not as bad as I make it out to be, actually hustles along decently in the twisties - more so than I expect it to. Tires are definetly the weakest link though, initial understeer if you're pushing a bit when cold and they're quick to squeal, lift-off oversteer when they're warm and start biting.

Why am I reviewing a Magna?
