I hit 113 degrees F, although I think it might have been higher...

I hit 113 degrees F, although I think it might have been higher...

Maybe if I attached a pic...

 

[songoku]

HOLY!!! I barely remember when I hit 100.

 

[ToneMan]

And during the same trip, I did some high speed runs; the pic attached is the highest speed of all the runs. Nothing spectacular to many of you, but a few things of note:

1--note the outside temp reading
2--had been driving at 100+ degree temps nonstop for over an hour prior to making my run
3--made my run at approx. 2000 ft altitude
4--road wasn't entirely flat; rather, there were a few undulations; good for some mini hang time, though...
4--had passengers and luggage
5--probably could have squeezed a few more mph if I had a better look at the car way off in the distance coming at me (didn't want to take a chance that it was CHP)

 

[rominl]

wow that's fast!

dude which part of north cali are you in?! 113f? i am in san jose and i haven't seen anything higher than 93 yet

 

[Dirt McGirt]

103 last week

 

[calvinpham]

i saw my car get to 100 before about two weeks or three ago when the temper was high.

 

[CaliMike]

I see 113 often. All you have to do is park you hot car in the hot garage for a little while. The thermometer picks up the engine heat.

Actually all you got to do is live in Arizona and then you will really understand what heat is. Everytime i get in my car my hole body sweats from the heat. Tomarrow is supposed to be 115.

IT FUCKING HOT TO LIVE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw my ish up to 114 last week. I drove for 2 or 3 minutes and it went down to 95. I think it was sitting in the sun too long.

[evolaerok]

97 here!

 

[Astroboy]

If u read the manual, it will tell you that it might not be the EXACT temp... the temp reading is affected by the heat that is radiated off the ground and the wind that circulates .

 

[rominl]

yes, the reading is only accurate when your speed is over 19mph

 

[2002TL]

Last week when i left work it said 104 and it stood like that all the way home

 

[SimTypeS]

105, while the car was in motion. Not bad for the rainy NW.
I love the heat. Oh, and humidity was probably 85%, give or take.

 

[[TL]Ridah]

TEMP ?: 99 was my highest...and the weatherman said it'll only go at the highest 80-85....it was the channel 2 man...

Speed part: whoa...140 mph? what gear were you in? I hit 137 (tl-p) in 4th gear with my rpm redlining...or almost...i see your rpm needle isn't near the red so i suppose your somewhre around 4 or 5? and I see your gas needle dropping down!!!

 

[ToneMan]

rominl--I was in Death Valley when I got that 113 temp reading.

mdaniel--like acuratlfan and rominl said, temp reading is valid when car is in motion; as you can tell from the pic, my car was in motion at the time...

tlridah--5th gear...like I was saying, I probably coulda squeezed some more mph under better conditions; therefore the fact that I got 140 in such adverse conditions/factors makes it a bit more impressive, IMHO.

P.S.: I guess I am unofficially the founding member of the 100-100 club--100+ mph while driving in 100+ degree F temperature.

 

[ferizzo]

104 last week...101 after driving around for a little bit!

 

[RAdams]

The highest I've ever seen is 113 -- when I park in the sun (and it's not !#%*&#[email protected] raining).

The highest "real" temp I've ever seen was 97 and the lowest was 42.
