[jerkstore]

all i can see is the word "focus" screaming out at me

[Rogean]

Your monitor sucks.

75 in a 25.

[jerkstore]

also you need some gas mister

[VictoryARC]

Mass drivers....
75 in a25 AND taking a photo. Lol

[Rogean]

also you need some gas mister

meh I still got 37 miles til empty, then + reserves. I'll get some gas on the way back.

[Mcgrubber]

why are u speeding so fast i dont get it.

[Rogean]

why are u speeding so fast i dont get it.

Mass drivers....

[jerkstore]

im glad to know your gas situation is sorted out.

[Fawqueue]

OMG, Rogean your hands aren't at 10 and 2! They're gonna pull you over man!

[baub]

how fast were you going during the yield?

[Noselacri]

Note the speed limit, and then my speedometer.

Reported.

[khazim]

Sploiter!

[Messianic]

Nice, a focus. Is that a 2009? The Dash looks exactly like my wife's 2009 focus...

[Rogean]

2010~

[Messianic]

2010~

Nice. Good car. My wife is a Ford enthusiast, and although I generally stick to imports, i like the focus.

[Wizerud]

I call BS. You're not actually in the 25 zone yet and it looks like you might be on a freeway offramp. And cars can usually brake from 75 to 25 in less than a 100 feet, about the distance you are from the speed limit sign :p

Also 10 and 2 is not the officially approved steering wheel grip anymore. It's 8 and 4. Because of airbags.

Sorry, didn't mean to get serious. However I do sense that this thread may take a turn for the politically correct in short order :(

[Rogean]

Fine I'll just make it a video next time :D

[Wizerud]

You can thank me later for providing you with your get-out explanation when the self-righteo... I mean sensible people guilt you into making a lengthy post about how you're not really indulging in such potentially irresponsible behavior.

[ShadowWulf]

Fine I'll just make it a video next time :D

That would be a bad idea...and im sure you already know why.

[Rogean]

That would be a bad idea...and im sure you already know why.

eh? I already have videos of myself doing 100+ :D

[Zithax]

I remember driving in MA. Massholes, bro!

[quellren]

eh? I already have videos of myself doing 100+ :D
Not terribly long ago, there was a very lengthy discussion and much drama on a motorcycle enthusiast website I frequent about a rider that essentially did just this, and posted it on YouTube.
He used a nifty hard mounted camera to film himself reaching speeds in excess of 180mph on highways and interstates. (yes he's a fucking moron) The video ended with him riding into his driveway, having passed numerous road signs, landmarks, and then the camera catching his house number in the final frames.
Yes, the police viewed it, and since it was publicly visible, credible evidence, they came to his house and snatched him up.

So if you do, don't show anything that can be traced back to ID you.






Will a Focus do 100? I mean, without a downhill? :p

[ryuut1]

im usually speeding on the off-ramp too

[Rogean]

Will a Focus do 100? I mean, without a downhill? :p

Oh yea, pretty regularly. I dunno if mine being a sports edition helps at all. I was on the way home from Connecticut at 1 am the other day and I think it was an Impala that was just cruising with me at 105 mph for a good 10 minutes.

This sparked a conversation in IRC when I got home about how I don't think cops even bother doing speed traps at night.. by the time they catch up if you've reduced your speed how do they even know which car it was.

[Ihealyou]

I see speed traps at night all the time...

[Rogean]

I see speed traps at night all the time...

On interstates? Shouldn't even be able to see them if they have their lights turned off.

They sit there with their lights on, which is retarded, but they're definitely there.

I now understand why auto insurance is so expensive.

[Rogean]

Tried to get video today but damn truck in front of me.

[nalkin]

Isn't everyone going interstate speed as soon as they exit off the interstate? Its bad form to slow down before you exit.

[ShadowWulf]

A yugo will do 100.

Hit 160 (My record) then brag. (99 GSX 22lbs boost 100 shot no2 scariest and most stupid shit of my life ill never do again)

[ryuut1]

did that guy say the focus was a good car? give it some time =P

[guineapig]

Isn't everyone going interstate speed as soon as they exit off the interstate? Its bad form to slow down before you exit.

I was thinking the same thing.

That being an off-ramp and not an actual road, the sign should be yellow.

[Rogean]

Isn't everyone going interstate speed as soon as they exit off the interstate? Its bad form to slow down before you exit.

Indeed, but where the picture is taken, it's a lot further after the exit. Also, there's almost always traffic on that interstate before taking that ramp anyways, and I was doing maybe 30-40 during the exit because of it. Then once I get on that ramp is about 3/4 a mile until it reaches that sign.

[Rogean]

Actually it's more like a mile off the exit.

[ooantipostoo]

Nice. Good car. My wife is a Ford enthusiast, and although I generally stick to imports, i like the focus.

Ford enthusiast wouldnt own a focus. It's all about the new Ford Eco boost motor.

What town are you in again? Wasn't it like attleboro? That would suck balls for commute.

[Wurli]

I'm in Topsfield, north of Boston. I usually take the T in tho.

You would be surprised how good law enforcement people are at telling what cars are doing what. My dad could give speeds within 2mph of a given vehicle always. I would ride with him and quiz him. He could pick out what car was going faster (when I had no clue) and its speed.

Also, if two cars are roughly going the same speed, that won't save you either being with another car. I've been pulled over with 3 other cars before and given a ticket =/

All of that to hit 160? Did you run out of RPM?

I hit 161 and still had more but it was night time and visions of deer running out in front of me made me back off.

Fuckus!

That's what I'm talkin about...

Focus..

Whatever.

[mimixownzall]

The fastest I've been is in an Evo VIII doing 177 - we hit rev limiter. I wasn't driving.

I was talkin more like.. If it's night and theres a cop on the side of the road, and you blast past him doing 100+, chances are you'll be out of view for a few seconds before he can get on the road, accelerate, etc.. if you were able to see him when you passed, and you take the extra minute or so to slow down to the speed limit and merge into traffic, how will he know who you were.

[ooantipostoo]

unless hes making at a very least of 500whp and over 2.5+ miles to get there and would have to be the MR with the 6 speed. Plus once 130+ you need almost twice the amount of HP to accelerate because of drag. The stock turbo would also run out of its air efficiency range might even need a pair of hks 272 cams.

I can only get to 160 in my S4 and im right around 500HP with upgraded turbo's and rebuilt 6 speed, the differential has also been re geared.

Yes, he had about 15k in mods. He was capable of 40psi boost but only had it set to ~32 to 34 running on E85. He was getting ~700 wheel. No AWD dynos in our area at the time, so he couldn't get it dyno'd without going to Dallas.

Haha, if hes sittin still and you go by him at 100, he probably isn't even going to try at night time

You sure?

What do crown vics top out at?

Plus we have some state police mustangs around.

[Rogean]

and chargers~

[mimixownzall]

the crown vics top out at 135 if they got a factory freak, but generally 125-130.

Don't know about the mustangs, we don't have them here (I dispatch for the Oklahoma Highway Patrol).

The chargers go 150-155.

You would also be surprised how easy it is to tell what kind of car is speeding by even at those speeds on the interstate. I've done several ride-alongs and it opened my eyes up. Oh, and radar detectors around here will only let you know that you've been cought (we generally don't leave them running constantly). They can work, but it's pretty situational. If you happen to catch a signal while a LE person is clocking someone ahead of you. Some LE persons like to leave their radars on to slow you down.

[Rogean]

Most here use lidar anyways. Thinking of getting a jammer.

[audacity]

Rogean, you are quite the rebel...Now, next time you're driving like that, pull out your gatz and start blastin fooz, you know, go GTA on their asses. If you do that, and post a video of it, I will give you 10pp in game. If you throw in an "AUDACITY/AUDACIAN YOU ROOL" at the end of the video, I will make it 20pp, NOW GOFORTH AND SHOOT HOEZ!

Suspension wasnt up to the task, at 150ish the air cushion began to lift the wheels slightly so I backed off at 160. That was actually a scary moment when I knew the tires and suspension just weren't up to the task...because I was stupid and cheap where I SHOULDNT of been. Ah well lesson learned eh? This was probably 7 years ago or so anyways.

Pretty much same deal with me. I dont want to go over 160 till I get suspension. B5 S4's with the same mods i have done got up to around 185-190. Fasted Ive every been was drving 2 different cars R32 Sklyline with a big single GT42R and a twin turbo supra with GT30's. Both making around 1000whp both reached 200, skyline was 203.

[Nocte]

Meh. Driving a car fast isn't really impressive. Sit in seat, push pedal, hold wheel straight-ish. Meh.

eh.. It's close to a lot of things.. he could have slapped wreckless driving on there, among others.. but fact is, I was nice to the officer (I always am unless they act like a douchebag off the bat), I was driving in the correct lanes, and I even pulled way over into the grass so we didn't get mowed down by a truck driver that decides to go "ooh pretty".
