can't resist this thread...
My first land speed record was in the mid 80's going at around 140 mph which was insanely fast for back then. That was on a (then-new) KZ1000.
Then I pulled around 145 on a ZX7 in the 90's ...
Then I ran around 145-150 in a '98 Corvette (very smooth but a bit frightening) I sold that car to buy my first bmw (Z3) in 2000. The Z3 was not a very fast car and was electronically limited. Then I bought a Z4 in '04. Had some wtty problems and the bmw dealer gave me a new M5 (just lucky) as a loaner... Holy ********************!!!
Took it out on K-15 (Central Kansas) at about 11:00 at night. I just rolled it on. No drag racing, just a smooth roll on. I did this 7 miles North of the town I live in. I ran up to 155 mph and started to see the lights of the town and slowed down... Wow! what a car!
My Boxster....ummmm I've had it up around 100'ish a couple of times. I just don't want to tear it up or hurt someone or hit a cow, horse or deer.
I'm in my 40s and still here. Just pure luck probably!
