how fast are we talking here? iv riden in a viper going 160 on the highway at 4am..now that was a rush. he was gonna go 200 but then we saw a pair of taillights and he slowed down.WJ's go pretty fast stock, modified '02 camaro's go scary fast. I don't think I'm going to be going that fast on 4 wheels ever again
jeep related - iv had my zj at 117 once and 100-110 a couple times, and it did just fine actually. one of those times was when i was lifted 2" also. now i cant say ill be doing that now that im at 5" :laugh:

You want to scare yourself. Try going to 130 in a boat, open top too.WJ's go pretty fast stock, modified '02 camaro's go scary fast. I don't think I'm going to be going that fast on 4 wheels ever again
When I worked at the boat dealership, a guy always came in and got stuff. I finally see his boat, turns out he spends about 500K every couple years to have a custom one built. This one was his fastest one every, twin supercharged viper motors.
Went to the longest strip on the lake and he said he wouldn't go over 90. Next thing I know, I am grabbing the oh **** handle for dear life and he is screaming we just hit 130. Scariest and funniest ride of my life. And the ridiculous thing is, it could have gone faster.

I got my ZJ up to about 103 chasing a drunk driver. I followed him after he almost hit me, and I think I had it on 2 wheels at one time. But then again, I've been trained in that kind of driving. That is the hardest i've ever driven it, and at 103 it was still pulling pretty hard, harder than I expected for being about as aerodynamic as a parachute.:laugh:

ive gone 100mph on the highway a couple times just moving with the flow of traffic with the 2"bb on and thats about it, definitely not hitting that speed with 33's and a 4.5" lift on.....for cars that are built for speed...my dads buddies got a 03 mustang cobra, with a lot of work done to it, upgraded everything. fast as hell, was goin 145mph with him one time, which was the first time i rode in the car and it wasn't scary to me but fricken exhilarating ....couldn't really see anything from going so fast, everything was a blurrr. there was a funny smell coming from the back seat where my buddy was sittin tho :laugh:

Pancake, its a shifter kart huh?
I did close to 90 in the ZJ once or twice, a LONG time ago, I dont go past 65 anymore. Seriously.
Fastest I have ever been in a car was around 135-140 in an S4 wagon with a supercharged V8. I was NOT driving.

Its a rocket cart =D
Each of those 2 engines puts out 300lb-ft of thrust. The one in our garage has never been run, but one of the others (only a few made) did a quarter mile in 7.3 seconds @ 150MPH. There is no top speed, it just stops accellerating when you let off or run out of fuel.
