Yup I was going 65 and as the road diped to a rather steep incline... I was air born... I'm serious when i landed i near wet myself... :eek: good thing i was lowered... well except for the sparks... and the 8,000 rpm I hit, the instant my tires left the ground.

Seriously I was holding back, because I didn't have the braking power to stop at the light at the bottom of the hill if it was red.

I got to check under the car for battle scars... I wish I had that on tape.

Worst thing that could have happened is your engine could have dropped out the bottom of your car :D

It wasn't my front end believe it or not, my brand new 2.50" cat back did all the fire works. :)

damn you lucked out. I can see my strut shafts punching through the hood and landing in another state if I did that.

only thing I ever got air in was old truck. Mazda B2000. The motor wasnt the best but damn was that thing tough. I drove it through water up to the door handles once and she got big air on more than one occasion. She was finnaly killed by a heater core hose that blew and drained the entire collant system in less than 30 seconds. I got off the road, but not fast enough. The cylander head was like a patote chip it was so warped and the block cracked. and a piston pretty much shattered.... I do miss that truck some days though.

Don87LX - I here ya. I had a b2200 and i agree those trucks are tough, not fast though but definetly tough. I owned it for 2 years and didn't have to replace a single part besides tune-ups.
I jumped som many curbs, and 4X it when it wasn't lowered and it didn't complain. I definetly miss it sometimes, but it was to slow. :crying: ;)

So according to Smufguy this all happened in Cali???

If you hit a speed bump like that here, let me know. I'm not all that keen on seeing if my 3g can outjump the General Lee. :lol:

Peace.

i jumped a railroad track doing about 100 mph. i caught about 4 feet of air flew maybe 15 feet... did some bottoming out, but it didn't seem to hurt anything. i went over a curb at 50 once... broke three of my lugs off... i drove it with one lug to the repair place :rockon:

That's odd I really don't know. I wasn't looking for this thread at all. I sware I saw it under the New Posts board. Either the forum is malfunctioning or I forgot to take my meds again. Seriously I didn't think I was the first person commenting on this old thread. Alright I need more sleep and less 3geez. Damn...I need a drink too! :beer:

5280 ft = 1 mile

100mph = 5280x100 = 528,000 ft/hr

100mph/60min/60sec = 146.67 ft/sec.

So what you're telling me is that you were doing 100mph and got a sweet 4 feet of air and a sweet 15 feet distance....Sorry buddy but I'm gonna have to call Bull-Shiat on that one. It's call Physics, no way possible.....4 feet of sweet air and only 15 ft....pleaze.... :rice:

So you car accelerates faster to the ground then the force of gravity??
At that speed and height you should have gone at least 80 feet!!!

At 100 mph you travel 15 ft in approx 0.10 sec...lol WOW air born for less then 1-10th of a sec...what a rush.....LMAO

Noffin personal......... :thumbdn: :Owned2:
