NEVERMORANGE!

Yes I know it's off topic, and I've been drinking...and it's after midnight.

Thinking about names for my HotLava FRS... I was thinking "Ginger", like the hot one from Gilligan's Island, not like Carrot Top. Or maybe "Tangello" or "Clementine".

Kurbis (pumpkin in German).

Paint black stripes and call it Tigger. May I could do the hip-hop thing and name it "Tigga". Tigga what! Tigga Who! Werd. What's up with my Tigga... :Insert Disney lawsuit here:

Ernie is orange. If they made a yellow FRZ we could have Bert and Ernie.

"Dorito" I don't know why but I could see that on a license plate. I like it... and so does my whiskey.

"Snookie"... yup, I'm gonna need another shot after typing that... but she is orange.

"Julius"... Not "Et Tu Brute"-Julius but Orange Julius. Whatever, it's all Greek to me.

I think I like Dorito, Tigger and Clementine the best.

If I had bought an Asphalt FRS I would have absolutely named it Eeyore.

155 in my 1989 Toyota Corolla GTS with a Blacktop 20 valve. If i had the limiter removed i could have gone much faster. still had 4k RPM's left. This was with all my interior removed, fully adjustable suspension, 20valve blacktop with fuel injectors, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, individual throttle bodies with trumpets, complete exhaust system, iridium spark plugs, spark plug wires and with no power steering or A/C.

110 mph or so in a Honda CRX and 120 mph or so in a 95 Pontiac Sunfire. Both on Germany's Auobaun, where there wasn't a speed limit. When everyone's going at least 70 mph, higher speeds don't feel so fast.

In the US I probably hit 95 mph or so in my 90 Dodge Daytona when I was young and stupid.

165 mph on a 600RR, but slowed down because the backpack was flapping a bit. Going high speed in a car just isnt the same, but either way I try not to go past triple digits anymore. Guess old age caught up T=

Around 125-128mph, but it was slightly downhill. It was in my old 91 Prelude. That sat very low as well, felt very stable at high speeds (yokohama tires helped too).

Probably not. Car isn't exactly cutting through the air with that aero. Just because you've got 4k RPM left doesn't mean you have enough power to push through the air resistance. It just means the gearing was that way.

~142 in m WRX.

With intake and exhaust the BRZ easily hits beyond initial triple digits.

Dead serious. I've been driving for 5 years this October and have zero speeding tickets.
