181 in a 75mph zone? in TX (It's on MSN...Not sure if it's news or not? lol)

[Just Geri]

Just seen this. Did not find anything related to it when I tried to search the forum. I figure you guys probably can place the areas. Hope none of these top speeds were a member here.

I was never caught....

Wasn't me. I keep it under 140mph...

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Lightweight...

I underestimated the performance of a K&N sticker on my work truck. Not my fault.

I had a cop pull one out of his butt once, gave me a 103 in a 65. I was happy. This wasn't me though

These speeds are nearly commonplace in Houston during the TX2Knn events when the nations 2,000+ RWHP cars descend on the area. The typical race is an 80mph to 180mph roll or similar, and they last mere seconds.

I can't believe there was a trooper on hwy 70 in Fisher county.

I just realized I misspoke. I did get a reckless driving charge in Virginia, coming home from buying a car. I was lucky and slowing down, the trooper only registered 94 on his radar.

I guess my neighbor just hasn't got caught in her 2017 Hellcat yet.

Once got one in Montgomery Co, (New Caney) for 155 in a 55 - (long time back when speed limit was 55 - rookie DPS trooper on his 1st day in county and he didn't know the old 72 Cutlass I was driving at the time, hauled me before the JP there who charged me $4.95; as JP and I were on a first name basis - JP didn't want to beat the state outta it's tax and knew I didn't really have to stop, as I was just cleaning the plugs off on the jet boat motored Olds).

I told my buddy not to put a blower on his Sonic. Dumbass

Haven't had a ticket since 1982. Doesn't mean I never speed!

They rarely pull you over for doing 1 or 2 miles over the limit.

 

[Charlie]

Yeah ................ and they don't worry about old farts like me.

 

[avvidclif]

I'm more likely to get a ticket for blocking traffic and that's when I'm driving the speed limit.

Seeing my white hair when I pulled the helmet off never hurt...
