170???? I'd be afraid of driving at that, especially on a bike :shakehead:
At least you didn't get injured driving at 145mph :mrgreen:

he had 3 cameras, one facing forward, one on the speedo and one facing himself! :crazy:
the traffic on the highway looked like it was in reverse! great footage but dumb of him to show it around. i guess it was only a matter of time before the police saw it! :hehe:

Traffic in reverse....he was driving on the wrong side of the street???
Anyways.....he a Super Baka :hehe:

dang, that is like flying......
to me 105 would be too much, and besides, not worth the big ticket/fine if you get caught for speeding...and higher risk of accident and less control of the car at that high speed.

Could never imagine myself doing 170 ever!
Would like the experience however only on a track with an experienced driver...... :sweat:

170 mph :shocked:

damn .. i wonder how he did it .. thats like almost 280 kmph .. damn that IS insane

i guess the highest i went was like 210 kmph .. something like 130 mph

i have to confess i do LOVE speed ... the thrill is superb ... but for those speeds better be in a suitable car also ..

Hey Z, I haven't got around to finishing it yet, but I've got some 'caps of Ryoko-chan in a blazing red F40... :hehe:

on a yamaha r1 you don't need a massive amount of road to reach 170. the thing'll do 0 - 60 in under 3 seconds!

i've loved ferraris since i was a kid. always followed their f1 team which despite the mansell/prost era, which gave me some hope, never really recreated the magic of the 60s and 70s until some german guy came along and won 5 world titles in succession. magic cars!

Schuey is a great driver and all, but I still consider Ayrton Senna the best there ever was...

I still shake my head in amazement when I think about how he demoralized everyone on that wet track in Donington in 1993.

One of the greatest F1 drives ever. :D
