Had the tach near redline in my 2000 Hayabusa (Suzuki bike) looked down speedo said 180 mph, I thought...hum....supposed to over 200 mph. Kicked up the shifter and sure enough was in 5th gear! IT KEPT PULLING PAST 180 MPH IN 6TH !!! Backed out of it because I was heading back into town and ran out of space.. The adenaline rush was unreal... putted through town at 35 mph and parked it in the garage. Never tried that again. Rountinely hit 130 in it though...
Also had a 1996 Impala SS with many mods...Hypertech chip, headers, LT4 module, intake, etc. True story... I delivered a CHP officers baby and always wanted to race a CHP officer Late one night we raced out on Hwy 152 me against him in his Crown Vic. We headed east towards Dos Palos, CA on the 152. The Impala would shift into OD at around 110, kept pulling to 140 mph and the CHP in his Crown Vic was left behind...he said I was really doing over 140 in a car...
And they thought I was bipolar...crazy thing I did in my younger years..:yes:
