nonsense... you would definitely need better tires if you were actually planning to do this every day... this would also imply that you have loads of money even though you don?t have a job, so life would be quite good anyway...
Erm... going flat out has absolutely nothing to do with my financial income, how i pay for my cars is none of your business.
for fucks sake, stop posting youtube videos of people filming themselves going really fast... it?s idiots like this why the 250 km/h limit exists in the first place...
then dont click on the link, stop bitching like a 12yr old. I was just pulling random videos from youtube to show Zuhaib that 200mph can be achieved in a stock car, provided that the road condition is ideal. Countless of people have done that, and if its
that dangerous, im sure ppl will think twice before flooring it.
oh really? I?d love to meet them... I live in germany, and quite a few of my friends have cars that are capable of going 250+, some of which are even race car drivers, yet I don?t know a single one who manages to go anywhere above 200 on a regular basis... this is europe for fucks sake, there is lots of traffic, especially around the time where people go to work on their "breakfast run" as you say...
im talking about SA, not Europe, not USA, not Germany. I couldnt careless how other ppl drive in their country. Again, im pointing out that there are ppl who take advantage of the motorway and enjoy doing a small top speed run every sunday morning.
do you know ANYTHING about cars??? if you (or the big boys) want to do hardcore shit to regular road tires like track driving or going really fast, you HAVE to overinflate the tire a bit, cause otherwise it gets too hot...
Please dont tell me something that i already know. I said it is only dangerous when you over inflate them to a point where its close to 3.x bar, when the manual recommends 2.0 bar.
To say that 200 mph is perfectly safe is so utterly stupid I can?t even begin to explain why you?re wrong, and the cars capabilities are gonna be the smallest problem. I?d be much more worried about traffic, and the human being behind the wheel...
erm... what traffic at 5:00am?? sorry but ive been living in SA for most of my life, where you can drive flat out at 5 in the morning. It is that safe, when you practically have the whole motorway to yourself, our population density is ranked 136th in the whole world, meaning that we have a massive country with fuck all people.
again, I really wanna meet these people, they seem interesting...
come to SA and i will introduce you to them, not everyone hit 200mph, but they do drive flat out every sunday morning, and some ppl do get a chance to hit 200, breakfast runs are done early in the morning where there are min traffic. The whole point of breakfast run is to drive flat out and enjoy the open space and the freedom behind the wheel, no one will ever prepare to wake up 4 in the morning, knowing that he/she will get stuck behind traffic.
the current F1 champion is also known to drink quite a lot on his leisure time, do you think he will get trashed like that anywhere within 2 weeks of a race??? If you think driving around stoned is perfectly safe you have much to learn... trust me, I know wtf I?m talking about...
i never said he smoked before races did i? so stop putting words in my mouth. and smoking weed is something that i enjoy doing, its a hobby, this does not mean that i get stoned and go out and drive around like a lunatic.
I never said driving around stoned is perfectly safe, you are the one who said it.
As an owner of a Merc (and a Jaguar before) and knowing people that own high performance car there is some that love to push them to there limits and others who take joy in knowing they can.
i understand the consequences and the danger behind top speed run, because its what i do everytime i get a chance, i drive flat out whenever i get a chance. But you have absolutely no idea what SA's road condition is like, so dont even start. Of course i know you cant do 200 anywhere you go, but judging from what you've said, you made it sound like reaching 200+ is some sort of extremely dangerous task, where in reality its not. Many people have done it, and majority of them are still alive.
IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU DO IT
Its safe for me to push my cars to the limit, same goes with my mates, and the same with the okes that do breakfast run, not to mention that many of them are bikers. im sure they've already acknowledge the consequence and the danger behind it, since bikes are 10000000x more dangerous than cars. But even so, everyone is comfortable doing it on a regular basis, because we all know what the road condition is like and how safe it is to do so.
Surely after a millionth breakfast run, you should know your car's limit and how safe its to floor it.
But your someone who has never had the pleasure of owning these cars and maybe see posts of a bunch of rich kids who dont mind writing off a car every week might make you think that hitting the road at 200mph in any car is safe.
no, in fact most of the guys that i know from the runs have wife and kids, one of them is my best friend's dad and he works for Ducati SA, and they dont go on forums or BBS since they are too old and too busy to post. I dont know any of the "rich kids" that you are on about, most of them are wealthy businessmen or bikers. And while ive never had the pleasure of owning a 180+ car, i know the local highway so well to a point that i know its 100% to go hit top speed. And unforunately its a pleasure that you will never encounter of being able to drive on an empty highway for miles after miles.
Just because doing 200+ is dangerous around where you live, doesnt mean its dangerous in other countries. And if that cant sink into your head, then there is no point in furthur discussion on this matter.
