Highest mph- and got caught 700 1986

I have to agree with your comment there, some people out there think its safe to do 100mph when theres traffic out there, they seem to think they know what the people around them are going to do, im accustome to doing 80mph on our california freeways as thats the speed of traffic in out fast lanes here, on the other hand you will never see me doing out 90mph when there people out there with me, the only times i have done over 90mph is in the middle of the night on the 15 Freeway, to those who know this freeway its really flat and it doesnt have any holes in it yet ( thats amazing enough ) , the only problem i ever have and i actually think about this is at about 95mph i am out driving my headlights and if an animal were to step in that lane i have about 1 second to decide to hit it, go towards the wall and hope i can recover from it, or pick another lane and hope that theres no one else out there doing that same speed ( i check my mirrors like crazy when i am going fast and normally you wiz by any sole car out there with you but if they decide to speed up and catch you 1 seconds isnt enough time to notice them there ) either way unless the lane next to you is clear your problem in a world of crap, So as Badge had said its not a wise thing to do, but if you decide to do it KNOW YOUR CAR, we all say we do but when you hit 100mph plus your car changes from a car to a bullet anything you hit your either going through or its going through you!. Now i personally love driving fast really fast big thrill lots of fun, on the other hand i have personally done the work to my car to make this possible, a NA car alone stocked would be hard to control, i know i tried it with the 14inch regular wheels on it, i no have 15 Inch turbo wheels with H Rated tires on it and a suspension on it that makes you want to go to the bathroom everytime you get out.

BUT HEY everyone the Southern California and Northern California VCOA ( Volvo Clud Of America ) rent a race track up north from So Cal where you can pay i think its like $150 and you can take it out to the track where its alittle safer and a controlled enviorment, plus if you wipe out god forbid but if it happens theres some help right there. check out WWW.SCVCOA.ORG for more info on that.
