I had to LOL at the fire suit and helmet....At that speed on a public road w/o a full cage you're pretty much done if you dump it..
What was he doing with his left hand was he hitting it with nitrous ?

Every time I went home from cali. I always looked around their shop to see if they was testing anything but never any luck.
Awesome video loved the dps challenger.

holy ****! Looks scary as hell, one wrong move your done...Ill keep my excitement crawling at 2 mph.

 

[BlueSteeleHorse07]

Yeah, pretty crazy! They offer the same performance upgrade for a 2007 and up Hummer H2, HPE550, 550 HP, or the HPE600, for 600 HP (same performance kit as the corvette above), but from I was told, any upgrade above the HPE550 kit, recommend upgrading the transmisssion. Pretty hefty price too for any of the upgrades (starting at $28,000.00), apparently, there is a white 08 H2 with the HPE600 updgrade, running around Texas. I think it's in Texas. If you were't worried enough about the low MPG currently getting, this will diffinitely decrease your MPG.

Its not that bad, I have done 170mph on 1998 vette with auto and top down in 2001 second day I bought it. But steering is not I tight as M6 (165mph) every Sunday morning on 91 between OC and Riverside.

 

[abearden]

I've peaked 150 on the bike. After 100-110, the speed doesn't really register any different visually. Awesome run though. That Exige sounds like a lot of fun.

M6, as in BMW, correct? is that on the 6 series platform? upgraded? I had the 1975 BMV Bavaria 3.0Si Sedan and 1979 Mercedes 380 SE, both of these vehicles were wery quick on the German Autobahn, especially the BMW Bavaria.

M6 is indeed a BMW and in stock trim did 194 on the Autobahn with Hans Stuck behind the wheel....It looked like the car had more but traffic caused an issue.. :whaa:

I've had the S4 into the upper 140's (on GPS) its suppose to be governed at 155 some say yes it is some say not...I never hit 6th gear until like 130 or so the car still had plenty..

Been into the low 170's (on GPS) on a ZX14 that one was suppose to be governed at 186 or so they said...Ended up selling that bike I'm getting to old for that stuff.. :wink:

 

[Mb30sdl]

Yep, going fast is fun as long as its safe.

 

[poncho1965]

I've been 155 on my crotch rocket, 175 in a race car. That's all history, H3 speed is my speed now

The exige you speak of is called the Hennessey venom gt, Its modeled after the exige

To quote the website:
"Note: The Hennessey Venom GT design is based on the Lotus Elise / Exige. The Venom GT is created from a base Lotus Elise / Exige and utilizes components including but not limited to the roof, doors, side glass, windscreen, dash, cockpit, floorpan, HVAC system, wiper and head lamps. Hennessey Performance and the Venom GT are not associated with Lotus Cars."

Its still crazy fast though

I second that! its crazy fast and looks good to boot! And like the others stated, were at the age that the need for speed is just not there anymore. Heck, I spend more time on the right lane chugging along nowadays, just enjoying the scenary and listening to the music.

My 92 old Integra I took it to 142 mph red line. It was scary stuff seeing those white broken lines as one solid line

Know exactly what you mean, we had a 96 Integra GSR, this little car can run without a doubt, but my 91 Acura NSX, was more fun in the German Autobahn.

What? I have been chased by CHP coming from Vegas for few miles going 140+ for about an hour the only reason I didn't go faster it was getting little too loud with rag top.(didn't get stopped if u wonder)

Back roads racing with BMW 5series dinan stage3 vs. my stock M6 was a lot more exiting but not challenging.
