Oh forgot about bikes. Is it easier to get to a higher speed on a bike than car? 2/26/2024 8:55:21 PM |

I would say that on average, fast bikes don't reach the speeds that fast cars do, but they reach 150+ quickly. 2/27/2024 3:38:47 PM |
StTexan Suggestions??? 6977 Posts user info edit post |
Like say for fast car 150mph is like 15 seconds, what is fast bike? Or is 15 sec for fast car 150 way off? 2/27/2024 9:01:34 PM |

I'll post since no one else is at the moment.
120 mph in a Hyundai Sante Fe on a NM secluded road. Probably closer to 110 with speedometer calibration. Also, it's a Hyundai.
The fuel cut-off kicked in on my Toyota Pickup at 105 mph. More likely it was 95 mph. I know my speedo is off.
Maybe 70 mph on a Donzi.
Whatever the cruising speed is on a Boeing 737-300/700/800 series. 0.8 Mach 1 ?

Years ago, I got my 1997 Z-28 Camaro up to around 135 or 140 mph with the top down on a long and straight country road back east. I like to drive fast, but I rarely hit triple digits and never gotten another car up that fast. 3/6/2024 4:05:20 PM |

So is like 140 a comfortable bragging speed? I am no daredevil, but some of these folks seem to think anything triple digits is like xxx

The durango is factory limited to 120. My tires are 9.5% larger than factory.
You can do the math. 3/7/2024 10:34:56 AM |

Don't forget to account for speedometer inaccuracy 3/12/2024 9:20:13 AM |
StTexan Suggestions??? 6977 Posts user info edit post |
Wouldn't that be like the 131.4? His speedo says 120 but tires are 9.5% bigger so 131.4? 3/12/2024 10:12:01 PM |

Your math is correct, but I'm not sure if his SUV's ECU cuts off the fun at a true 120 or indicated. Probably true, at least based on the wheel speed. 3/13/2024 10:14:15 AM |
