pimpcl23..lol, old fool

 

 

lmao always wondered if our cars would hit that speed, but don't feel like getting a ticket or killing myself and others trying to find out.

 

notice how much it was shaking when it got up there?

 

man that highway is EMPTY, i probably would have attempted the same thing

 

yes its a very long freeway going down hill!

 

haha, you can tell when it starts to go downhill when the fuel needle starts going up instead of down.

 

dumb

 

haha i always wondered too if they could, but i would never take my cl up that high on public roads. I took my old 5 series up to 155 one time on the highway, I was 17 then, what a fucking idiot move on my behalf.

 

I never had my old CL past 105, I was freaked out by the amount of shaking at just that speed...let alone 130+

 

i just did 105 on the taconic parkway yesterday. the 3.0 is so smooth

 

I had to at least try the high speed thing the other day. I only got to 100 but it was smooth as hell at that speed (it also took like a day to get there from 85 on a flat road).

 

120+ no shaking...... haha

 

i will admit, my CL is incredibly smooth up to 90 (furthest ive taken it) what wasnt so smooth was my break slowing down.. chunk chunk chunk chunk.. time for new brakes!

ill take pictures of my rotors when i pull them out.. eek.

 

i havent tried in my CL yet...i hit 110 in my 2.2 camry and 118 in my avalon, before i slowed down.

 

I've cruised at 115 for a while could took her a little farther

 

 

:silvercup..

 

the 3.0 is ridiculously smooth at high speeds. Took it at about 125-130 at the Big as Texas meet and almost burred the needle at 140 but Carson had to slow down for a turn.. I mean, who the hell slows down for turns anyway?

 

lol noobs, its not the engine thats smooth, its your tires.

 

The fuel pump is in the rear of the tank, not the front. So if the needle goes up, then it's at an incline.

 

Just saw the whole video, definitely ends at a decline though. The gas needle going back up must be from letting go of the gas pedal and fuel being thrown back into the tank from the return line.

 

Z rated tires I hope :P

 

more than one kind of smooth. i obviously wasn't talking about the road lol if you've ever been on the taconic you would know what i mean.
i just meant that the car accelerates smoothly. its not all jerky and shitty feeling

 

 

ive touched 100 and then went back down to a respectable 65. =)

 

haha^ That made me

 

 

95 southbound into ny is getting smooth as hell, thats were took my e39 up to speed, but i agree, smooth is way more then just tires, the engine pull is so nice, although ive got some clutc slippage, especially with lots of weight in the car which leads to me not being all so smooth for the moment

 

actually.. it was because i changed lanes

 

mine (auto) cut out at 125 going down that same highway.

 

a lot of people are saying "lame" or i was stupid for doing it.. but if you know me.. i have an "i dont give a fuck" attitude towards a lot of things so driving fast is one of them... but i did it "safe"

FYI... it was 2am with no one on the FWY. i wouldnt do that with other cars on there. that would have been worse. if i did hit something.. it would have been a wall and the only person that would be injured or dead was me.

adrenaline rush was off the charts tho!

 

Speed limiter or just your top end?

Anyone know the stock top end of a 99 2.3 MT?

 

same as mine


Hybrid, however, has a limiter. automatics have it

 

You'll get no hate from me.

When people post vids of swerving in and out of traffic going 100+ on the freeway then there is some shit to be angry about.

 

"same as mine"

A stock 2.3 will pass 140? Damn.

 

yeah that freeway doesnt have anyone on it passed 10pm

 

thanks...rub it in why dont you...

yeah limited!

 

my whole premise of getting that on video was because i was tired of people saying "i hit blah blah blah"... or "fuck you lying bitch.. our cars can never do that". so heres proof assholes! wheres your proof??....exactly /rant
