I live in Houston Texas and I`ve got up to around 145 mph on belt 8 at around 4 a.m. however the freeways empty and elevated with barriers on both sides no chance of wildlife so its relatively safe. BTW I knew it could go faster I just ran out of road I was closing on my exit I drive an 02 Boxter S

Can anyone explain to me the difference in talking about road racing at 70-80 miles per hour and going 125+ on public highways? Why is one only for a****les and completely inappropiate and the other badges of honor. The people make this a great forum, but the Dorm Mothers should figure it out before they try and do whatever their job is. ED

The way I see it, Its about time and place! A quick sprint late at night on a well lit highway with no one else on the road is not a problem in my opinion... the only one going to get hurt (or arrested) is you. When you involve other motorist and/or innocent by-standers then its not acceptible and thats what gives street racing a bad name and rightly so (too many times you hear of kids racing their parents cars and crashing them) some street racing is safe but its the dumbasses or just the unlucky sometimes that give it a bad name. To each his own tho! Im not trying to condone excess speeding but if you choose to do so, do it where no one else will be affected by it!

The day i bought my 02 box I was driving home from Texas and found a strip of road, If you have never been to west Texas there is nothing there for hundreds of miles, Any way i had a gps and it logged my top speed at 141mph I had pleanty of room left but flat out had never gone that fast before and got the jitters so I slowed down. There have been MANY days since then I wished I could go back now that i really know the car.
One thing is for sure it still had more to give no doubt about it although i have no idea how much, if I had to guess 10 or 15 more mph.

Why are you assuming that all road racers do it in the daylight on crowded public roads and all people exceeding 100MPH are doing it at night on safe roads. This forum embraces people from all states and many foreign countries. Please do not assume that your mores and morals are the only correct ones and all other attitudes are inappropiate.

Hey I was not making any assumptions of that sort, If you reread my post I was just stating that as long as no innocent ppl are going to be hurt I'm all for it. I also said that street racing in itself is not always dangerous, I'm not against it but I am against people who carelessly risk others lives. And yes this is just my opinion (and im sure where I live does affect my opinion!) but in no ways do I find what im saying innapropriate
