AHAHAA idk how fast 170km/h is but ive been 100 in my soft top 93' Jeep YJ hahaha. The fuckin soft doors start flappin n shit you cant even hear yourself scream if you wanted to.

Oh yea, ive been around 110 in my bros trans am...I went 105 in my moms Honda Pilot becuase the rev limiter or govenor w/e kicked in at 105. I also crashed that car going around 95. Told my mom i was going 60...

im not even gunna get in this argument about whos car is faster n all this shit, but the only way you chirped the tires going from 2nd to 3rd at 125 is if your car actually goes 125 in 2nd

(which i highly doubt since you said u have a 6 speed which makes all ur gears way lower, so 1st gear with a 6 speed tranny would be lower, making you go slower, than in 1st gear with a 5 speed tranny)

and then you dropped the clutch, revved your engine all the way up to 8500 and popped the clutch. This is what skierman was talking about when he said ur ruining your clutch, which you are no matter if its a fuckin vtec or a fuckin mini van, but sports cars like ur s2000 are made to be driven like a sports car ie high rpm shifting, so ur tranny is fine.

Newschoolers piss me off so much when you try to talk about cars. Soo many of you are gay ricers.


And turbos don't really help you pull any mor RPM's, which contributes to top speed along with gearing.

Essentially you still need power to push through all the air resistance created at real high speeds (not that 120mph crap) so it acutally would make a difference. Like comparing 100mph to 200mph. You will need a much more powerful engine to do it. Or a more aerodynamic car.

85,000 huh?

Specs for S2000

0 - 62 mph 6.2 seconds

¼ mile 14.8 seconds

1/2 mile 22.78 s @ 118.09 mph

That must be one long on-ramp.

So if you were going 125 in 2nd and it tops out at 148 and is a six speed why don't you wipe the bullshit off your mouth?

I might know how he did 125 in second gear, KM/H not MPH. If he is on the metric system that is around 70ish which could be possible. just a thought before we all go call him on his bluff.

I thought this said fastest car you've been in. Top speed in anything was probably 110-115 mph, fastest car was a Saleen S-7

My uncle was the director of a big car show in Detroit for a few years and works for Saleen so they had one on site. It was pretty dope.

180 km/h oh an 80 km/h road. Unfortunately there is some sort of limiter or something on the truck I was in since it kept speeding up and slowing down by 3 km/h the entire time I was going full out.
