you know, if all of you weren't such pus**s, you would realize that it's not that bad if you are on an open highway......sometimes at 3am there is barely a car in sight and even though it's a big risk, it's not always a danger to others unless they really were idiots and did it while it was busy on the highway......what's interasting though is that i've done top speed runs when there is noone around that my governor is exactly at 150, these guys must have removed the governor....also they must have tuned it because it seemed to accelerate faster than my 6mt tl....but you never know.

Nobody is being a pu ssy. Just because your speedo says 160 doesnt mean your tires are rated for such speeds. If you like to show off and burn up your tires then proceed to do 150+ on tires not rated for those extremes then god bless because if one of them bad boys lets loose your dead. Another thing doing it any time of the day with or without traffic there is still a high amount of risk you take. Just because you don't see the cop doesn't mean someone else doesn't see you on camera and sends you a nice fat ticket to your mail. BTW get caught doing 150 by a cop and lets see how pu ssy it is afterwards. Im sure you will be the pu ssy crying your eyes out to your parents when they take away THEIR car which im sure they JUST bought it for their 19 year old kid to do 150 in..... Don't talk out of ignorance.

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...highlight=fast
I guess everyone going over the speed limit in here are idiots too???

hold on... Ive totally maxed the car out to 160mph before I dont really think honda governs their cars unless u bring it in with major issues concerning tranny n engine.... thing is, I would never do that on public streets the way these kids did. Ive done it on a highway that Im very familiar with at night and with no people on it and no people in my car either. Why would you endanger the lives of others not only around you but others in the car with u?.... I only topped out once after my break in period.... you'll only catch me cruisin now. no need to hurt the car

vincethe1: .....the tire ratings are bullshit, unless you have a defective tire with a bubble or one that wobbles, your tire would not let go and if it does, you can still do something about it.....
Does the TL handle well over 100MPH with a blown tire? I would like to see a video of that situation.
Have you ever driven a car with a tire that was very low or had a space-saver spare on it? If placed on the front often the car prefers not to go straight since the circumference is usually different. Imagine compounding that problem with some rubber flopping around (may be some side-to-side action as the rim is running over it) then add to it out of balance wheel as some rubber comes off or starts separating. It sounds like a horror story, only it's your life and not a Hollywood movie.
Please think of others around you and your family before doing these speeds on the street and not a track. Something most often learned with age and experience!

btw, how would blowing a tire at 100mph on a track or on a street make a difference? and i am saying these speeds are done when there is NO traffic around...like 3 am on an interstate highway, there is some around here that even during the day you don't see cars for miles...i am not saying it's not stupid to speed like that on roads, but there is some things that are not always as you might think
