With great power, comes great responsibility
See, alot of people on here have basic bolt on cars. I personally have a pretty quick GT. But I have a buddy with a stupid fast cobra and a stupid fast mach 1. I have driven both, and actually hit the limiter in the cobra at 160. Most people have never driven cars that are in the same power catagory as yours. They also don't realize that when you've got that much power it is so easy to hit stupid fast speeds before you get even get off the onramp. Once you have that kind of power on tap it changes your perspective on how fast you can take a car. Because most of us let off after a certain amount of time, rather then when we reach a a certain speed because we have trained our brains to how long we can safely get on it before it's too fast. Well when you jump into a 550 hp car from a 300 hp car, you end up going a hell of alot faster then you intended to. I respect you for posting, and also for learning from your mistake. This will also teach you to have a great deal of respect for your car and the power it makes. Remeber that while possesing a great amount of power, you truely have nothing with out control of that same power.

With great power, comes great responsibilityJust had to say after reading your post
very true, been in my share of 10 second cars, driven a few. When you pin it, you can reach 150 in the same time other mustangs are at 110
Never was defending him, You just make yourself sound like your MR. PERFECT.
Where in this topic did I say I was Mr. Perfect? I just called him a retard. I see no holier than thou claim in what I said. Just calling it how I see it.

I will say that Im glad he didnt injure himself or anyone else. I respect the fact that he came to post about it but Im sure he even expected from negative comments. The good comes with the bad. Ill admit Ive done my fair share of stop light driving and speeding but its all relative to the speed limit. Ill never go 20 over on the street. Thats just crazy to go 100 over. The bright side of negative comments is that it adds some kind of hope that someone else wont make the same mistake because it was an action thats frowned upon. You cant really say that if every comment was "Im glad youre ok. Hows the car?"

What year is your Saleen?
No. I dont think what I said was the least bit overboard. Even had he not crashed I wouldve had the same comment.
