Agreed about the speeding - I think it's sorta human nature to speed just because. However, 100 in a 60 is hella extreme. I don't doubt a well maintained car can handle 100mph just fine but take a really good pothole or huge bump and you might blow a tire or something, and it's scary enough to do that at 60mph nevermind 100!
100 in a 60 zone? That's nothing! I heard a story on Top Gear the other day about a Veyron driver doing over 200 in a 70 zone in California. The fine was $500.
$500! If you did that in Europe, they would have shot you without any warning and burned your car. Well, first burn your precious Veyron, then shoot you.
Seriously, last year or so a SLS AMG driver has been caught on a speeding camera in Switzerland doing 180 in a 70 zone. The fine for that was 780000€ ($1.15 million!). I'm not sure whether he had to pay that, though.
This is what my poor 1999 Acura 3.0CL looks like now
That is the result of loosing rear traction while following a curve on a slick Garden State Parkway here in New Jersey. The damage was caused by spinning out of control at 100+mph and hitting the median multiple times. I am unsure of exact details since I blacked out from panic once the rear end stepped loose. I literally stepped out of the car with just a small cut on my head, a scrape on my neck from the seatbelt, and a little soreness about two days later. Awaiting insurance payout to hopefully get a newish Honda Accord coupe.
The guy wrecked his car and Im sure has heard enough crap about it. Also for anyone not familiar with NJ highways, seeing people do 100+ is not unheard of. I have witnessed far worse.
Aw that sucks, but.. yea 80mph I can understand. 100? You NJ guys are crazy lol
Then again I always hear about east coast guys paying like a month to heat a little shack in the winter![]()
Try doing 100 for a while on a straight highway then go back to 70sometimes it feels so slow that u could almost open the door and walk out lol

I'm not sure you can give someone enough crap for that. Speeding a little is one thing, we all do it here and there. But 100mph anywhere other than a track is simply irresponsible and dangerous, both to you and other drivers. You should never hold back when giving crap to drivers like this. They need to learn this.The guy wrecked his car and Im sure has heard enough crap about it. Also for anyone not familiar with NJ highways, seeing people do 100+ is not unheard of.

Well, you are right when it comes to driving fast in populated areas, noone should ever do it, but on an empty highway or whatever, 100 isnt that much of a safety issue.I'm not sure you can give someone enough crap for that.

I disagree with you, but this thread isn't the right place to argue about it, so I'll just leave it at that.Well, you are right when it comes to driving fast in populated areas, noone should ever do it, but on an empty highway or whatever, 100 isnt that much of a safety issue.
Been there, been knocked out afterward.Motorcycle racers have a rule for this.
When you crash, and slide, count to (at least) 5 before attempting to stand up. If you try to get up too soon, and you're still moving, the cartwheels are going to do a lot more damage than the crash did.
If 100 wasn't a safety issue why did he crash?
^throttle oversteer sucks!
Nice pics. Sorry, I meant to put understeer. For some reason I read oversteer and thought understeer!No, I like that, just not lift throttle oversteer.
2001What year is that BMW? Looks nice!
