Hate to break it to you, but ya don't drive a sports car if it's unstable at 100mph.Originally posted by: Argo
You people are either crazy (and damn good) or lyers. Most 4-banger cars won't even accelerate past 120mph. My old 97 Camry would barely accelerate once it reached 90. It'd probably take me 10 minutes to get it from 100 to 140mph. That's provided I had enough highway space to do something like that.
The fastest I've ever gone was 100mph and at that speed the car is already pretty damn unstable. And I drive a sports car with sports suspension and tires.

LOL. It's not the number of cylinders. Gearing and aerodynamics make a large impact, power has a smaller role. I have been over 120 in a "4 cylinder".
Also, he is right about your car not being a sports car. That, or it's broken.

144 in an 02 Mustang on a PA highway only cause it wouldn't go any faster. I'd do it again in a second. On a side note, my friend hit a tree doing 115 and walked away without a scratch on him.
I call BS. (unless you mean he brushed against a small branch hanging down over the road)
That's 9 times as severe of an impact as 45 mph... and you're lucky to walk away from 45 without a scratch.
I hit a tree going about that fast and didn't get a scratch on me, aside from a very small little pockmark where a flying piece of windshield hit my forehead and a stiff neck which lasted a couple of days. I attribute it to dumb luck, having been wearing a seatbelt, and going into the tree backwards. Maybe not likely, but certainly possible. This was in a '96 Integra, fwiw.
