Although I don't push it there often.

BMW?

I've taken a 02 Mazda MPV(the mini van) up to 115. So I can see a Civic doing 137. Especially since it sounds like he has a ricer. I would not doubt that he has NOS in there.

At AVGWarhawk: The standard Crown Vic police cars top out at 130ish. So they could catch up. Unless the road was empty, the Civic would have to slow down at times to weave through traffic which would help the officer fill in the gaps. Although him being able to radio in for cars up ahead was probably what caught the dude in the civic.

I'm surprised the driver of the civic did not get arrested.

In the early 2000's, I was riding on a dark and twisty country road in a '89 Honda Civic. The driver managed to push it to 150km/h, with peak at 175 km/h. (90-110 mph)

Yeah, I thought the whole thing was gonna fall appart. I feared for my life.

I don't think the car had been modified, but the driver's father was a mechanic, so you never know. The car was in great shape, anyhow.

She still calls me a pussy to this day. I still call her a maniac.

From the sound of it she does sound like a maniac. Was it a paved road? When I visit my grandparents who live in Northern Florida, the roads are unpaved and they twist around sink holes. I could imagine doing 110 on those roads just to see a deer run out in front of your car, forcing you to swerve into a sink hole. :rotfl:

I think I used the wrong words when I said country road - It's paved (But in bad shape), and it's essentially a step under a highway. With houses bordering it and so on... Althought the exact place where she decided to hold the speed trial was bordered by woods on one side, and the river on the other.

And I shouldn't say she's such a maniac; when she's not driving home from college, she's pretty normal. Mostly.
