• As in real life? A rental agency made the mistake of giving me an Alfa Romeo GT once. V12 Diesel 6-spd. I hit about 210kph on the Speedo before I felt the tires start to lose grip in the curves. That's about 130 MPH those of you dealing in Freedom Units.

 

Edit:  I think it becomes a lot more interesting once the tires start to slide, to manage the grip.  I'd have loved to try that car.

yeah...  if you're not sliding, you're not trying

way to condone speed related injuries guys... I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of someone who thought sliding around on the road was cool.

Keep reckless behaviour to the track. You can go plenty fast, and they give you stat printouts to wave at your friends like they are MMR or something.

Nice.  Networking isn't my cup of tea.  I'm more of a software guy, but network architects get paid bank :D  Do you work from home?

 

I'm in school for IT right now. Not sure where this road will lead but all of it's a better life than what I had.

Well this was on the Autobahn, the Polezei might have had a problem with me drifting in excess of 200 KPH.

A '03 Dodge Ram. I used to have a '10 Mustang that I had custom built from the factory, but unfortunately "build the car for 6 foot tall individuals" Wasn't a package option. I traded it in and got the truck, it's treated me very well since.
