Lol who knowsI was thinking the same thing but wonder if a ride in my car at high speed first might be an option :nod:
See how wet those panties will get
I remember when I went bungee jumping how intense that feeling was and yes the guy I had kicking around at that time got ravaged as well !!! It was an all day wild crazy high. Anything thAt makes me feel like I'm about to die or gives me those intense butterfly's always gets me hot and bothered !!!

They say "more have been up Everest than gone 200 mph in a car..."
Any commercial flight hits 200 on the runway, and 500 mph in the air!
It just seems faster in a car!

I friken hate that place. So many places where you can screw up at high speed and pay the price by hitting the wall. ICBC has no sympathy if you wreck your car at a track either lol.
I stopped going there 3 years ago and now only go to tracks in WA and OR.
I'm thinking of heading to CA in 2015 to track one of my cars :nod:

I kind of agree the sensation of speed is the thing.
any one who has ridden on a jet plane has almost hit a thousand k, but doing it in a 767 not quite the same as an f-18 I would imagine
the most thrill or scared I ever was at speed was most likely at twenty twenty five mile per hour.
a horse spooked and bolted on me and took off at a gallop through the trees, the tree branches all seemed to be at head height not his head mine.
the sensation of speed and fear galloping through the trees was like nothing I ever felt. the immediacy of it, the fear in his eyes the roughness of his mane the wind wiping and the blur of everything passing at such a fright full pace and barely missing my head. it was the best adrenalin rush and being scared shitless at the same time.

‘Mr. Bean,’ Rowan Atkinson Selling His McLaren F1 for $15 Million
Rowan Atkinson, the British comedian, more famously known to Americans as the person who portrays the hilariously hapless ‘Mr.Bean’ has a car for sale. Now, if you are wondering if it is the rickety old green colored Mini Cooper that he is usually seen inside, you’ve got it all wrong.
Atkinson, who in real life is a car connoisseur, has, in an interview to the Telegraph, confirmed that he plans to sell his prized possession and one of the rarest cars on earth – a 1997 McLaren F1. Widely regarded to be among the wackiest sports car of all times, the McLaren F1 was the fastest production you could buy in the late ’90s. This was way before something by the name of the Bugatti Veyron came along. Atkinson was one of the lucky few who could afford to buy the McLaren F1, which back then had a sticker price of over a million dollars.
Now, if you are hoping to get a bargain price for a car that is almost 20 years old, well that is not going to happen. The price estimates for this old McLaren F1 is now in the vicinity of an astounding $15 million, according to NPR. This, in spite of the fact that it has been involved in two accidents — the last of which almost completely totaled it. The last accident reportedly happened after Atkinson lost control of the car causing it to spin around and hit a tree. The car eventually ended up on the wrong lane — and to make matters worse, it caught fire. Atkinson managed to escape the accident with just minor bruises. More surprisingly, the car managed to survive the impact and the subsequent fire — but not before Atkinson paid $1 million to get it repaired. Atkinson was also involved in another supercar accident last year.
But then, for a car that has housed several celebrities and has been inside the garage of one of the world’s best known comedians for all these years, the price of $15 million is probably worth it.
Oh and lest we forget, Atkinson’s McLaren F1 has over 41,000 miles on the odometer. Not that this is going to weigh in on your decision to buy the car.

My G 35s will go 15 mph according to Road and Track. I did have her going 110 near Shasta in California. I had my 78 Civic at over a 100 once and actually saw the number on the cop's radar. He wrote 75 on the ticket which was very cool.
I rented a Dodge Shadow prepared by Shelby for National car rentals. I pegged the speedo at 85 mph but we were probably near 120.
