Fucking sweeeeeet!
 
Well the Adventor is in the shop so I had to settle for the Lamborghini superleggra and Ferrari 430 scuderia.

A lot of cars top out at 135 for safety reasons. My Jetta can do 135. I bet the torque was high though.

Yeah the top speeds on these cars are 200-210. The reason why I wasn't able to reach those speeds was it was a curvy track. It's hard to drive a corner at 100+.
 
Awesome, I'd love to try that one day. Congrats. What did you like riding the most, the Lamborghini or your wife?
 
How banked are the turns at that track? 135 kicks ass on a 1.2 mile oval. Were you pushing Gs into the banked corners?
 
...how long was the longest straight-a-way?! I've drove a Hyundai Elantra a decade ago that got up to 135 mph on the way back to LA from Vegas :dunno:
 
Okay I just watched the video; which has the mph, front view of car, video of me, GPS tracking of where I was on the track and fastest time.

My fastest lap time was 57:11 and my fastest speed was 115. I don't know where the guy said I was going 130. I didn't even come close.

I did take the sharp corners at 60 mph. Gs were still sick!

The fastest I've ever been was a bit over 140 mph on River Rd in New Orleans, straight-way in a 2013 Mustang GT was my tops, drunk (don't judge-would never do it again do it again)... it wasn't until the next day I realized how lucky I was to be alive.

Taking a car like mags is talking about on a loop is a whole 'nother experience though. Your turns just appear out of nowhere when you're going 100+ mph in cars with that kinda torque.

It takes some balls to hit too much over 100+ on the track that mags is describing, with just a 1/3 mile straight away.

Sounds like a hell of a time...

I don't think I would ever have the balls to hit too much over 100+ on the track that mags is describing, with just a 1/3 mile straight away.

Yeah when I was on that 1/3 mile; it looked so fucking scary going 100+ to a 45 corner. You just trust the car will break fast enough to get you around the bend.

It's cool because there was this step system they trained us to do. Gun to just before the turn. Brake hard, down shift, left off the brake and point the car to the apex of the turn. The moment you hit that apex; you gun it out.

These cars are the shit. No wonder why they are soooo expensive
