Speed is fun, but acceleration is what really hits my gut.

I got a 5.0 V8.. I can go 0-120MPH no problem

anything above 120MPH is risky, need to have a maintained and greased suspension and proper tire pressure - along with dozens of other safety precautions :)

I used to grease my car up and all that stuff but thats when I was young and drove fast lol.. now I just sit back and cruise but If I need to get somewhere fast, I can.

wear ur seatbelt

Risky??? If you are looking at risk at that way then risk is even to sit in a car and go on a street.
And for suspension. I have adjustable suspension on my Merc. I put it on sport and he lowers 5cm I think. (Idont know exactly I must watch a video again) And when I reach around 200 car lowers by itself.
For tire pressure. all you have to do is reed the book that you have get with car or watch video that you also have get with car. Or simply go to service of your car and ask there or ask them to do it for you.Its free I have tryed.

Yeah it's risky.

To control a car @ 120mph is more difficult than control it @ 60mph you know? Specially if the road is wet.

You sound like one of those dudes who drive @ 120mph the 1st day after they got the licence. One of these ...

That's not nice at all... but sometimes the truth isn't very pretty :(

I'm 20 years old and I still havn't even taken my first friving lesson, yet my parents, freinds and pretty much everyone I know is pressuring me to take driving lesson. I'm just afraid if I do start driving, I'm gonna become insanly lazy - my mate drives everywhere, even if its to a shop round the corner :lol: He can probably walk it to Uni from his house in about 20 mins, yet he'd rather drive and get stuck in a traffic jam in the morning rush hour..

some time ago my dad told me he was driving on the german autobahn.
my dad drives a bmw 320d.
we live quite close to the german border so he goes sometimes through germany for work..

anyway, he was driving about 190/200km/h he told me.
but you know where he was: Germany!
so he told me some bmw and a merc even went faster!
maybe about 220/230?

but i know 1 thing for sure, i won't drive so fast if it wouldn't be quiet on the roads and if i wouldn't have runflat tires ^^

As said in topgear:

What is germany without the autobahn ?

^^

Uhh, the Autobahn is not "I'm gonna drive as fast as I possibly can because there's no speed limit. :) " More than half the time there are limits to how fast you can go. The Autobahn is not a single stretch of road, it's the German freeway so it's almost always full of traffic. The only time/place there are so few cars to drive like that is late at night/wee hours of the morning where the Autobahn passes through smaller towns that aren't as crowded.
