"Brady, who admitted to dangerous driving, was banned from driving for three years and will have to take a new driving test before taking to the road again."



WOW! What a heavy price to pay. No way a guy that loves cars that much can go 3 yrs cold turkey.







BTW-if you can control a car at 170mph what challenge is there in a driving test?

I wouldn't be able to make out a yellow school bus at 170mph!

BTW, I know someone who once went 160mph on a sportsbike and 150+ in a 968! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/unsure.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

darn, I guess he was clocked way before he could reach the car's 193 mph potential ...unless of course, they caught him on decelleration after he had already toped out <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/huh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/blink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> he probably would have paid the same price so may as well have gotten the bragging rights with a 190+mph ticket.. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/ohmy.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

Did anyone see the story of a guy doing something like 140mph in a Hyundai Sonata? It was in one

of the car mags a few months ago. On the way back, he was clocked again doing about 105. The editor contacted Hyundai to see if that speed was even possible. The guy actually appeared to be smiling in the traffic cam photo but he wasn't smiling after going to JAIL. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/ohmy.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> If only he had been texting on his cell in the photo...

Yup I read that article as well, motor trend I believe. The car was a rental and as I recall he was on his way to work in the early AM hours from his girl friends house. The argument was that a budget 4 cylinder rental car couldn't make it up to 140mph and that the cam's radar wasn't calibrated. They were wrong.

In answer to the original thread.....from what i gather the car was not his, nor did the owner give him permisison. I thinkthat charge was dealt with separately.

Discussing how fast one has travelled on his personal motorcycle or in his personal car on the Lexus Owner's Group site is not a good idea, unless you want to be SMOKED. A much different and more conservate crown in spite of some rather high-performance cars in the Lexus line.



As they say, "Don't ask me how I know this." <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/rolleyes.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



Kawasaki ZX12R - 168 indicated.



Porsche 928 gray market - 165 indicated.



Interestingly, the bike felt more stable.
