Yeah seriously.. I know exactly what "roads your talking about. If your going to go 160mph.. then I dont expect you to return and post on this forum. THoese roads.. are all fucked up. Since ur in texas, I take it ur going over the border through Lorado mexico? right? if so... take 1 car, I guarantee something will happen if theres more than one gti.. it WILL get vandalised. Find something more fun to do than speed in mexico.. once ur locked up.. ur out of USA jurisdiction. and cops out there DO NOT like american citizens.. They have every right to impound your car.. and will do so if they dont like you... Its happened many times to people i know. Bribes work wonde3rs in mexico.. and the mexican police know this.. so they will pull you over for anything for a bribe.. because they know you will give it to them.. or your walking home.

Yeah the last thing I want to do is take my GTI into Mexico so some bugger can ram me with his taxi.

And can you imagine what it will feel like when you hit a pothole at 160mph? Ouch. :frown:

160 does sound like fun though, strangely.

With all the respect and with no intention to insult you or anyone else let me tell you something about Mexico.

I was born in Ohio so i'm a US citizen and i have lived in Mexico for a long time now and let me tell you that if i had the chance to go back to the US i would say no, life here in Mexico is great! even with all the issues everybody knows (security, pollution, roads, etc)

The highways you have to pay for they are all in a very good shape and you can speed very nicely, I have a 2007 tornado red GTI and i went 250 km/h (156.25 miles/h) from Mexico City to Cuernavaca.

By all this words what i want to say is that Mexico is not what all of the US people think, to say something about Mexico you should live and work here.
Accidents happen everywhere not just in Mexico.

Hey thats awesome! My family is from cuernavaca too! Ive taken that road many of times too from Mexico city to Cuernavaca. The highways you have to pay to drive on are in very good condition, when I was little we were one of the first people to drive on the new highways, they gave us hats and stuff, it was pretty cool, it was opening day.

[mer1]

yeah mexico->acapulco is a very nice highway...
i lived in mexico city for 15 years and i got nothing but love for that country.

and btw there's some bomb weed down there, you just gotta know where to get it.

Yes that's a nice one also! in fact that one is a 500km (give or take) distance and usually you take like 2:40 to 3:30 hours to go ftom one place to the other deppending on your speed (and balls!!:laugh: :laugh: )

I've paid the fees to drive the private highways outside Guadelajara, and roads were very nice! Too bad I was driving a Bora instead of my GTI. I hear that the fees actually help cover your insurance....so if you have an accident on these private highways, you're covered / protected by them. Anyone know if that's true?

Yes, the fee you pay is for an insurnce and for the maintainance of the highways

[danger dan]

ive never lived or worked in mexico, but i have been there more than a few times. and unlike in the usa, mexico varies a lot depending on where you are in the country, mexico city is very nice, modern, and clean. i went for my uncles wedding (he works in mexico for abercrombie and fitch and met a woman out there)

my travels have taken me to some very backwards and uncivilized parts of mexico, especially the areas around tijuana.

not sure about the conditions of the roads though, when i was in playa del carmen they were pretty terrible, not to mention completely no traffic laws or enforcement.

hahaha exactly bro... must people from other countries think about Mexico with stupid cactus, mens with hat, and all that crap... but never think that for example in my town (Guadalajara) I´ve seen in the streets, Carrera GT, Aston Martin DB9, Lamborghini Murcielago and Gallardo, Ferrari F430 and Maranello, Ford GT, Bentley Continental GT, 911 GT2, Masserati MC12 (brother of the Enzo) and more awesome cars...

I often drive to Cd Guzman wich is near Guadalajara also at 250 km/h (156.25 miles/h)... mmm but always looking at the blacks Chargers R/T (Cops of Highways) :wink:

Ah!! those black and white chargers are really fast!! they already cought me twice!

[STATUS]

nice bring xtra tires. and your passport

[danger dan]

i think one of the richest men in the world is from mexico

[Nuvolari]

Ah!! those black and white chargers are really fast!! they already cought me twice!

:frown: How much for the ticket??... At what speed??... Must of those guys dont receive mordidas :yikes:

[Nuvolari]

i think one of the richest men in the world is from mexico

The name is Carlos Slim Helu... He was the richiest man on earth 8 months ago... Now I think is on 3th place

[MexFast]

:frown: How much for the ticket??... At what speed??... Must of those guys dont receive mordidas :yikes:

The tickets were $50 USD each but if you pay them in the first 15 days you get a 50% discount!! and you know what........i paid them with pleasure!

I dont know in the US but here the ticket is for speeding and they dont charge you depending on the speed, its the same if you go 120km/h or 250 km/h

[MexFast]

The name is Carlos Slim Helu... He was the richiest man on earth 8 months ago... Now I think is on 3th place

That is correct, he owns in Mexico the biggest Cel Phone network (Telcel), Telmex (house phones), Sanborns (a chain of restaurants with all kind of presents), and the list continues, he is also a big actionist for apple computers and he was the owner of COMP USA in the states

[f_399]

i have gotten my gti to 160 on the speedo and thats about all it could do...stage 2 revo, 6th gear

gps states under 160, around 156-157(tom-tom)

oh... and as i was doing it, i got passed by 2 vettes (c5 z06, c6) and a new m5

[phrog23]

:laughabove: :w00t: :bow: ... i only wish i can go that high... maybe eventually.... once i get my stage 1, and way better tires...



my personal best is only 130...
following 4 BMW's on the I-10 in arizona about 130m outside of Phoenix.....

[clutch fool]

what ever you do, dont stop in cancun and piss on the sidewalk. i had to pay $300 to not go to jail for that. and if you lose your passport dont worry, here in jersey we have thousands if not million mexicans that made it here with no pappers. que te lo pásatelo bien!

dam man... cant wait to see the video!

[grandote]

Lol screw mexican stereotypes, my family down there has ferraris, maseratis, and even a phantom. Their kids go crazy on modding cars, one of them has 500 hp plus on his srt 4 neon (which is his weekend car, his daily driver is a bulletproof H2) and the other one has a evo 9 MR with 450 hp. He just bought a gti a week ago and is about to send me cash to order parts.

BTW mexican roads are not bad at all, thats one dumbass stereotype. Anybody that has actually been on the "autopistas" know exactly what good condition they are in. Also i really doubt you have to waist 200$ to go on them.

[fairladyz_gt-r]

Never been to Mexico...But being that i live in Thailand (where people think is third world country but actually not...) Its road is MUCH better then the US. Both public and privite. we have a privite elevated expressway where it ban trucks. So...you are left with 4~5lane each side straight from Bangkok to Chunburi (Detriot of the East) and the beach. The best part of this elevated highway is that the people that drive on them know that there are always crazy people in the fast lane so its always clear, everyone doing less the 100mph basiclly stay of the right lane (we drive on the correct side).

[chadman]

Hey Amigos! I'm from Los Angeles, so that makes me an honorary Mexican citizen right? <sorry, BAD humor!>

Anyway, would you guys know if any of those Mexican uber-highways would happen to be in Baja California? Sounds like it would be worth the drive down. Certainly better than going to Senior Frogs! (FWIW, I've met some of the NICEST people down in Mexico).

[julito04]

they do have some nice as roads down there. i used to go ALL the time on surfing trips when I lived in san diego. My uncle used to race in the baja 500 and 1000, so we used to go down there and stay with the crew and sometimes i would go on chases with my other uncle, it was sick(i know its offroading). anyways, the roads down there were pretty damn nice and the other actual highways are really fucking nice depending on where you go.

and the america is the greatest country comment, were all american from canada to the bottom of south america. so being an immigrant is not "un american" its the U.S. that tries to imprint in your head that the U.S is the only "american" country. the true america/s has been around WAY longer then the U.S.
