This is the drive from Talihina, OK to Mena, AR and we also cruised over to Hot Springs. The ///M Roadster belongs to our friends who were impressed that the Banana could keep up and do 90 through the turns!

 

Some Hot Springs 'bling':

 

christ.
i haven't had a chance to get above 90 yet in mine, and to be honest the RPMs at 120 scare me.

 

That is not the fastest that it's been.....

 

I can't see to well what that is in Km/h, but I've had mine upto 210Km/h, downhill with a tailwind before she just wouldn't go anymore. Hope there wasn't any traffic!

 

nice pics. Show what the banana can do!

 

Cool pix!

But that Bimmer has gotta be the ugliest color I have ever seen on any car.

I don't like it on the Honda Civic Si hatch (they have a very similar pea-soup / baby-**** yellow/green/puke color available), and I dislike it even more on the Bimmer.

Looks like a good time, though!

This is very nice......I have had my old ES 2.0 going close to this speed and it was not going much faster. Think I was going up a little upgrade and into a slight wind.

I have had my PR5 going a little over 100 MPH. Will have to go out and see what I can max her out at.

Good job.......how long were you driving at this speed?

i've only had my p5 up to 110 and i was scared. so i backed off. i am pretty sure i was sitting at about 5K rpm, so i figured she had maybe another 15mph in her. but man, it was scary. the two lane highway rushes past you, it seems narrower than it really is... and thank god for the engine speed sensing steering... else i would have jerked all over the road. my hands were pretty shaky. i give you mad props phantom cruiser... maaaad props.

tonka.

 

That is a nice area, I have backpacked/camped in that area and we hiked up to the highway to see one of the senic overlooks. Never got to drive down it though.

 

That's "Phoenix Gold" on the Bimmer.

Not sure how long we did 120...just long enough to catch up to the next batch of traffic on the highway.

We took several winding, 2-lane roads on the way back from Ark. and did lots of nice 'sweeper' curves at about 90mph!

 

Sweet! This car is awesome at speed! Just stay safe...

 

Man that is fast, last night I got mine to about 115 and it cut off before a I think 1997 chrysler sebring passed me like I would normally pass a honda.

 

I was going back home from some dive bar my friends were playing at one night and I had a killer headache and a 40 minute drives ahead..

15 minutes and 120 on the Greenway later and I was home. My head hurt so bad I kept closing my eyes and hoping there wasn't any turns coming up.. I know pretty stupid but I felt so sick..

 

120 on the Greenway? Damn, must have been the middle of the night for the road to be that empty. Usually there's so much traffic on that road I can hardly do the speed limit.

Anyway, nice pics PC. Looks like a fun route.
