130 mph on the 5 Fwy in Orange County, CA. It was 2am coming home from a club and I was racing my buddies '00 Audi A4 turbo. He has a chip, exhaust and roll'in on 18's. When getting onto the freeway, he jumped out to a 3 car lead but the look on his face when I passed him at 110 was classic. Will never forget this face. He talked the next day and we both had the gas pedal pegged to the floor. He made some excuse about rollin on 18's. I laughed and said try having 100lbs. of stereo equip. in your trunk. This was before I had my 19's. It was fun.......

Only one ticket in 8 yrs for me. Got caught racing a Cobra in my S.C. Z28. Cop wrote down 62 in a 35. But I was well over 80mph. Fine was $275. Won't do that again.

heh

when i got first ticket it was fine either $300 or $400 for doin 35 over speed limit... and there was a sign that all fines are dobles on 65mph zone.. so i was lookin at $600-$800..

i got lucky i end up paying $300 and another $100 for another ticket (changine lines too quick)

that trip all along cost me $400

I got my GS up to alittle above 140 a few times this week.. Wasn't that bad very smooth.. I was impressed considering I had it for 9 days.... I babied my car for about 4 days and then on the fifth day I just didn't care anymore....

For me in this little state, 140 mph on H-3.
for those of you who don't know about our highways, we only have 3. H-1, H-2, and the newest being only 4 years old now H-3.
As for tickets, no speeding yet (knock on wood).

Aloha
