Default 03 2.4L Coupe - 127 MPH Speeding Pix - 56K WARNING!




















NO - these pictures weren't all taken in a row.

BTW - I don't really recommend this. The Rev limited comes on HARD once it hits ~130 MPH - one time I did it before, and didn't take pix it read ~132 MPH.

ALSO - I did this in my car where I installed my v 1.8 Valentine One Radar Detector, AND a hidden (in glove box) Police Scanner Uniden Bear Tracker with Cop 3 mi. radius alert.

Yes - I speed a lot.

Pix of consealed Police Scanner later.

lol... this is my 1995 Accord, bitch, j/k. My car was barely working... hehe, seriously my car does this easily, its about the top speed though, highest i can get her is 127 on level ground. I set my cruise at 95 mph for frequent ~100 mile trips from mom's to dad's.

btw i took that myself, with a normal camera, that i had to focus! no radar detector here, i do need one tho.

They were taken in three 'sets.' - see the trip odometer.


No the car doesn't have only 600 odd miles. It has 3600 or so. I'm not gonna risk THAT new of an engine.

The pix were taken over very hilly central PA lift and fold region. (for those Geography people out there.)

Anyways ... If the rev. limited wasn't there it was still climbing strong. Too bad. Probably there for the best - as far as my life and my daring-ness is concerned.

Um you're kinda crazy. I just hope you don't pass me going that fast in an Accord. You can pay money to drive that fast safely at a track you know...It might be worth it.

I sooooooo wanted a 5-spd. - but, long story short - my old POS car blew in NJ .. long way from home - and I found the car for sale the next day, got it for less than 1% over invoice ($150) - so, I couldn't go wring - well, kinda. I'd rather had a leather with 5-spd. -Similarly priced.

which one of us? :naughty:

neways its not that dangerous, as long as you watch for cars... then again, technically you shouldnt be in my lane unless your passing someone. yes, thats right, MY lane. i HATE when ppl drive in the left lane, and think that just cause they are going ~80-85, and passing a few, they can stay there. I drive much faster than that, grrrr.

Fast_Draw what are those green indicator lights that went off when you started hitting 110+? Does you car not like it when you go that fast?
