You think posting this opinion is "contrarian", but most people here will agree with you. They all drive $3k Civics with manuals.

It's ALWAYS more fun to driver a slow car fast, than to drive a fast car slow.

My boss drives a Maserati and it feels like you're going 55 mph when you're actually going 90. You're never pushing the limits of the vehicle so it's never fun. I have more fun in my coworker's 2005 Accord manual.

Performance cars are for people looking to flaunt their money. That's pretty much it.

>>17573466
>You're never pushing the limits of the vehicle so it's never fun.

And if you DO push the limits of the vehicle, you're in the "he will surely die if he wrecks, and he will go to jail if a cop sees him" zone, so it's just nerve racking unless you're a total moron with no regard for your life or other people's lives.

I like to drive into the ghetto, throw it in neutral and just redline the shit out my car. Some dumb nigger or bean nigger always tries to roll up talking shit and race me. I talk shit back and rev the fuck out and when the light turns green I coast all chill and watch them get pulled over real quick. Fuck niggers.

>>17573497
At 100mph your don't have enough time to react to someone pulling out in front of you or a child running out into the road. It's basically a game of Russian roulette with other people's lives. He's lucky he doesn't go to prison and have his car impounded

>>17573517
If it was on a freeway then that's ridiculously harsh. 100 mph / 160 kph isn't that bad unless it's in town.

>>17573517
>Not enough time to react

Who the fuck is feeding this garbage down your throat?

I could walk out in front of you at 25mph and you wouldn't have time to react.

It's always about conditions and mitigating risk.

100mph is perfectly safe as long as you mitigate risk.

>>17573517

>>17573517

So race car drivers must instantly die when they go 200mph right?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, holy shit. I drive past cops on the way to work doing 90 almost every day and don't even get a ticket.

Maybe he had a bunch of previous marks on his license, and this one was the one that pushed it over the edge?

>>17573573
Not sure if troll or stupid.....
"In general, it takes an 18-wheeler 40 percent longer to come to a complete stop than an average car. Depending on road conditions and reaction time, that discrepancy can be even wider.

The stopping distance for a tractor-trailer that is fully loaded on dry pavement going at 60 mph is approximately 335 feet - a little over the distance of a football field. Keep in mind this does not include driver reaction time or the .5 second delay found in air brakes."

>>17573550
>"100mph is perfectly safe as long as you mitigate risk"

Yeah the risk is going 100 MPH and being in less control of the car. If you're going to go significantly faster than the recommended speed limit on the highway/ road/ whatever, you're only being a risk to yourself and the people around you. Maybe you can react well but some other Joe doesn't have the same reaction time and awareness as you and in that case something is bound to happen. If your're gonna go that fast take it to a track or something, I feel like there's a time and place for everything and our fun isn't worth another ones life dude.

A friend of mine got busted doing 70 over in 70 zone, about 10 years ago. He got a $1400 fine and 3 month loss of license. Considering all the anti hoon laws i wouldn't be suprised if there was worse penalties now.

Australian's need to take back their country. Cops in America don't bat an eye at 100 on the highway as long as you're not racing and/or look like a nigger.

The speed limits are for 1940s cars, in america everyone drives 10 over (5 if cop nearby) and really bro, i can tell you that modern engineering has in fact made it safe to drive at 100 mph everywhere.

>>17573441
>Only going fast on tracks
What are you some kind of cuck?

I regularly do 20-40 over and have never gotten a ticket for speeding. I race likeminded individuals, I floor it off the light, I do donuts in parking lots, never one ticket for anything other than the windows being tinted. It's really not that hard. But even if I did get a big ticket, it's just the cost of having fun.

Make more money. If you can't afford the tickets you should do something smart with your money instead of buying a fast car.

>>17574776
The problem with tickets isn't affording them.

And you've just been incredibly lucky or driven for a very short period.
You'll get a $1,500 license losing 40 over ticket if you keep driving like you, it's just a matter of time.

Going fast on tracks.

If you can afford a sports car you can afford a $200 track day once a month.

I noticed that on average people drive faster in Cali than in WA when I went on a roatrip there. Also I never saw one cop, or anyone pulled over, but cops were everywhere in Oregon.

All of the Cali speed limit signs say "radar enforced" or even "enforced by aircraft" or something like that. What is the purpose of those? Isn't that a waste of money?

>>17574791
Radar detector fammo.
Where I'm at, cops keep their radar on 90% of the time and they only use Ka band so there are no false alerts.

And money pays tickets but it also pays for good lawyers.

>>17574828
>Isn't that a waste of money
Yes, yes it is. While it is pretty rare to get hit by one, there is some kind of aerial vehicle that gets people for speeding. I think they use drones, but I'm not certain.

>>17573770
Why even pull over at 140 mph

>>17573573
Ahaha what? Why dont you cut in front of a semi and slam the brakes to test that? Ill wait.

>>17574847
How are you going to lose the cop at 140? Their cars can go that fast in a straight line, and if your speed limits say "mph" on them, you're not going to see many curves.

No - You slow down and get bullbar'd.
No - You try to flip it around but need too much space and run off the road because of your speed
You pray for a gentle exit onto a back road that has some forks and intersections, leading back to the highway eventually, and hope it appears before the cop considers you hard to catch and radios for a roadblock

>>17574834
Yes KA is nice because only police use it, but a motor cycle cop hidden from oncoming view burst lasering cars as they drive past can still get you.
So can air craft or any cop that just happens to see you doing your 40 over.

You're not invincible, you will get caught. I know, I was. Twice.

I was pulled over doing a pass at 160km/h and accelerating when I got pulled over.

I had just got the carnout of the shop, wherenit was for almost 6 months. I was hit with a $1070 fine for not having my insurance papers on me, and a $172.50 fine for speeding, she only wrote me up for doing 120 in a 100.

Told me if I brought my insurance papers to the station she would drop that charger.

I ended up paying the speeding ticket and actually got a refund back in the mail because both tickets had been cancelled.

There are few more satisfying things in life than ratting out boiracers. We don't have legal authority but I assure you, the police will take note of the worst offenders that we report to them, and pull them over for "routine stops".
Many boiracers have illegal modifications like exhausts that are too loud. We report all of that.
Also it's funny to see their faces every time they see a radar gun, before they realize it's just community speed watch. Mr. Oh So Tough 18 year old boiracer races often become whiter than white because they're still in the license trial phase and can lose it very easily.

Don't want to risk your shit? Don't drive fast. Either keep it on a track or be prepared to get fucked if you get caught.

It really is that simple.

Listen up, nigga. Your point applies equally to performance bikes, so get this. I have ridden for around 20 years. FJ1200, ZZR1100, Blackbird and now Hayabusa. I have exceeded 250km/h between 50 and 100 times and exceeded 200km/h probably more than 500 times. I have had one speeding fine for doing 60 in a 50 zone.

You can do it, you just need to pick your time and place.

lol, speak for yourself, this shit never gets old

if you don't enjoy the feeling of acceleration then you certainly should only invest in a reliable driving appliance, leave the fun cars for the rest of us

>>17574872
Cops generally don't pursue if a chase goes higher than 120mph due to safety concerns. The only time they will ever go that fast is if they are pursuing somebody who is actually a threat to public safety like a gunman.

Virginia is a commonwealth, they have their own set of laws regarding the road.

>>17576181

I'm surprised they came after you, their DOT and Highway Patrol has a hard on for truck drivers because the fines are higher for CMVs at the same speed plus all the CMV-specific fines like being overweight and shit

>>17581139
From watching YouTube videos it seems to me like 90% of Germans have the same idea as you. I think half of them only do 80km/h so they save even more money and don't have to overtake trucks. This is how the autobahn seems to work on six lane sections anyway, the four lane sections look like way more of a clusterfuck

>enjoying something that requires literally nothing more than a will to do it

fucking casuals

the only way to truly enjoy driving is challenge, that's why there is no fun on the public roads. you can have a challenge on a track even in the worst shitbox as long as there is some kind of time measurement, you can have fun off-roading, but running from 0 to 50 on the street lights is just as fun as riding a roller coaster.

>roller coaster is fun
it's fun once or twice. imagine riding rollercoasters ten times a day, everyday

Holy fuck yes. Gets really intersting when a truck pulls out,especially on uphill parts. Or when some retard doesn't realize he has another lane to the right of him and holds up traffic that way.

>>17587769
I'd have thought krauts would've made trucks being in the leftmost lane illegal or something like a lot of American states.

>>17587796
Overtaking for trucks is mostly restricted on these parts, but what you often see is that the truck pulls out just before that restriction is active. And sometimes, they just don't give a fuck

>>17573485
This is pretty much how it went

Go to the ghetto. Drive and cruise to pretend to be cool. Can't drive and rev in the ghetto because potholes would ruin your wedge on wheels

And if you are such a tough ass, I bet you put dumb ass "don't thread on me" "come and take it" stickers that make the rest of us look bad.

1) going fast on tracks is very fun, and having a fast car allows you to do that
2) going fast 0-60 is awesome and torque and turbo spooling never gets old
3) cruising at legal speeds is way more fun when your turbo is making awesome noises
4) having a fast car gives you street cred and gets appreciation from people who share your hobby
5) you can go fast on public roads - just dont get caught
6) feels good being able to enjoy a fast car you built, or worked to afford
7) going beyond just speed, a 'high performance' car stop and handles better also, making it safer in hairy situations
8) if you care about such things, having a faster car than everyone else makes you feel good
9) similarly, having a fast car helps you not get jealous at other people with fast cars, so you wont be butthurt like op when you see them
10) reiterating on point 1 because it's my #1 to drive a fast car, taking it to the track is fucking awesome and fun as hell

those are the main points. there are countless others.
