Talking Wanta Race ? Well do `ya ? "Take it 2 the track?"

What's the fastest that you've driven ?

"Let's see what it will `do ?"

What's the top number on your Speedometer ?
Have you ever reached `it ?


Do they make speedometers with number's the car can't do ?
Or are the high number's there to see `if we will try to reach them ? >







Here are the 10 fastest street legal cars available on the market (production models, as opposed to concept or modified cars) measured by tested top speed (theoretical speeds do not count).

While most of us can only dream of owning the fastest car in the world, some will do whatever it takes to possess the most powerful speed. So, how fast are the fastest cars in the world?


World's Fastest Cars:

I wouldn't want to ever drive again if I couldn't go over 80mph.

I love roll racing 60-120mph!!

I've cut 'em loose on the highway or a country road before. Even the occasional light-to-light. It's a bad idea, but I'm not reckless in traffic or around others. Even the police getaway videos don't even seem so bad - at least you can understand the driver's motivation. But that "death wish" one steams me cuz it's just playing with lives for fun. Many people put a big value on life and taking one life can so drastically change the lives of so many others.

Thanks `Brent, I agree with your words 4-Sure.

I also did some crazy fast driving in my teens, but never in traffic & mostly on empty beach roads that did not have driveways, etc entrances. I have slowed down since I hit the quarter of a century mark. I'm very thankful that I have never hurt anyone while driving...

I just get my thrills on big waves, skateboarding & Go Kart Racing with the BeachBum's.

I hope this thread & other's > Make our member's `THINK, b-4 they act Stupid... If just one member gets something good from my words/posts/threads (?)...Then my time & effort has been worth it 4-Sure...

Thanks for your words/sharing You are our Monte Carlo Monte of the Year Winner & must set a good example

I sure as hell wouldn't want to be limited to 80mph. Both my cars are capable of going much faster. LOL

I mean I guess for safety reasons it would be a good thing but who would want to go only up to 80. That would just get boring. Sometimes it is nice to just let go and floor it and give it all she has.

Yes, speed is nice > until it's not
I love speed 4-Sure.
I just see to many speeding that have no respect for
others, driving vehicles that are not safe driving way
over the limits.

Race cars are constantly checked for tire wear, brakes etc. Most on the street are not

No one or not that many think Speed is a bad thing
until someone they know or love is injured or killed
by a driver that was speeding (?)



Life, it's a Gamble - 4-Real
