(No, this was not me.)

more money than brains..

I guess I should have gone to college to become a research chemist! What a jackass - not necessarily for driving that fast - just being the only jackass to pass cops at 185 mph and end up getting stopped because you were DRUNK????? You would think a taxi (or limo) might be within your budget.

Damn Can you imagine 185 while you are drunk? Thats insane.

Not many cars that can do that.

The drunk Ba$tard probably didn't even realize he was going that fast. "Bloodshot" eye's? I wonder what he breathalizer read?

The fastest I was ever clocked was 167 but I was stone cold sober. The short story; Youth and Stupidity, forget about the long story.

This happened just up the road from me.... Couldn't believe the speed on that road... it's just a little 2 lane country road..... ASS!!!

What a waste of a car on a shmuck like that.

182.....Is that all you got!!!!!!?:p :D

Can you say ....Idiot!!

the fastest i have been is about 148 totally straight , i can't even begin to imagine 182 and drunk :crazy: :crazy:

What a moron. That's 267 feet per second...doesn't give you much of a chance to react to anything. One twitch of the wheel, and things would have been really ugly.

I've seen 175 in my car with a little left on the pedal. I was stupid obviously to do it but the car was solid the whole way. But, a blown tire would have expired my time here. He's lucky the cop didn't beat his ass, right Troutly??? ;)

Trout whats the fastest you've ever clocked anyone? Did you catch them?

A Three page ticket .thats going to be expensive:eek:

There goes his insurance.
Some lawyer going to get rich off him?

I thought mine was bad, it is, but this is worse.

WoW Thank GOD no one was killed by this fool.

Lamborgini
 

First off, I wish I had a car that did 182.

Second, I would never drive that drunk.

Third: how long would it take to catch the guy in a Police Crown Vic?

Answer: you can't except traffic slowed him down and THANKGOD he did not injure anyone.

Wannabe

I'm not tryin to wear you out. But, what do you mean by, "we do call them off now and then?" Just wonderin from smokie himself. I would stop 4 you, probably. ;) :D

I see. I bet that pisses you off though, after chasing the fool all over the place.

He should be able to beat the DUI. Obviously , his driving wasnt impared if he was able to handle that speed.

Troutly, have you ever had a bike run from you? I remember one night we were out at a parking lot just hanging out (Supras, 300zx's, Rx-7's, Vettes, Saleen Stangs, etc) and 2 cops came to see whats going on, then some bikes flew by, they started placing bets with people on how fast the next one would be!!

Once in Scottsdale, AZ I was stopped at a red light on a four lane road (Shea Blvd.) in a Ferrari at midnight. Out of nowhere a bike came screaming behind us and timed the green light perfectly. The guy was an absolute rocket and blurred past us. I stomped on the gas and tried to catch up to him. The car launched to 100mph+ in ~10 seconds flat. The guy on the bike just kept accelerating...we think he was running 140-150mph!!! We never came close to him. Totally insane!!!

Ummmmmm.... I was dumb for a while, while I had this car, http://www.lingenfelter.com/pac725ttls1y.asp it was fast and I would say that 230+ was a conservative estimate. (I was a little stupid while I had it and it saw greater than 200MPH more than once while I owned it on a public hiway)

What is it with everyone in Houston having Lingenfelter modded vehicles?? These cars seem to be everywhere when I'm down there!!

I have had since '94 from LPE: Trans-Am, 3 vettes, and one Viper.

I know of about 5 LPE F-bodys and 2 TT vettes but I know there is a few more than that...I know Mr Smith is always flying down 105 from Pappas in one of his cars and was caught doing 160+ in the Vette...Luckily it was'nt DPS or his ass would have been in jail.



Off the topic what ever happened to John after his accident??

That link in the first post doesn't go to the right page anymore, here's a link that does in case anyone is joining this thread late (like me):
