Going 100mph or faster in California is instantaneous arrest, because it's considered involuntary manslaughter or something.

 

You, (that) is goofy.

 

+1, but it all depends on a cop.
Friend of mine got pulled over for doing over 130mph with his GTO, cop wrote him a ticket for going 101.

 

Yikes that 100mph barrier is a bit crazy. I did 100 on my test drive completely unintentionally. These cars can do 100 in their sleep.

 

It would be nice to have easier access to a track to explore the limits
BMW provides some organized events, Infiniti should jump in and do the same

 

How can you get charged with involuntary manslaughter without actually killing someone?

 

From CA law:

A person who drives a vehicle upon a highway at a speed
greater than 100 miles per hour is guilty of an infraction
punishable, as follows:
(1) Upon a first conviction of a violation of this subdivision, by
a fine of not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500). The court may
also suspend the privilege of the person to operate a motor vehicle
for a period not to exceed 30 days pursuant to Section 13200.5.
(2) Upon a conviction under this subdivision of an offense that
occurred within three years of a prior offense resulting in a
conviction of an offense under this subdivision, by a fine of not to
exceed seven hundred fifty dollars ($750). The person's privilege to
operate a motor vehicle shall be suspended by the Department of
Motor Vehicles pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 13355.
(3) Upon a conviction under this subdivision of an offense that
occurred within five years of two or more prior offenses resulting in
convictions of offenses under this subdivision, by a fine of not to
exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000). The person's privilege to
operate a motor vehicle shall be suspended by the Department of Motor
Vehicles pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 13355.

 

I bought from Grubbs in Dallas, and if you buy a G from them you get a free track session with a race driver; I'll be heading back up there after the G is broken-in (evil chuckle... )

 

I did 120+ in a 4 door 3 last summer. I didnt even know I was over 100. Salesman said it was a first for him on that road as well.

 

Here is a pic of my speedo on my '98 Maxima SE at 139mph, though just before I took it the needle was where 143 should have been. Not sure how accurate my speedo is at those speeds. Once I get a 2007/2008 G35 I'll shoot for a new record! Oh and if I die no big deal so long as nobody else does.



Oh this was in Death Valley California in October 2000:

 

wow...looks like it would take me about 30 seconds to fall asleep on that road...so empty and boring...

 

Um, yeah, good question. I'm stupid. I think maybe it was something like, charges against you is as serious as involuntary manslaughter. Either way, you're getting arrested, period, unless the cop/CHP gives you a break.

 

I did a 182 once in an open road race in NV.

 

i drive 110 every day to work lol , im gonna get pulled over now for bragging
