I'd be interested to know how fast you've travelled whilst in control of your vehicle.....and where. Don't care about legality, just the figures.

Ready - steady - GO!

Nothing above 70 for me. Any quicker than that and the labrador sticks his head out of the window (*why do dogs do that?) and then "we" can't see where we're going.

Uhh, Baroness, if you look at this thread (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=6041&highlight=fastest), you'll see we've covered this. So just add what you've done.:)

ah yes, DVSNCYNIKL , but this is a poll and it's much more exiting with the nice lines at the top....don't you think? From a woman's point of view, I do.

True, since you put it that way. Just wanted to save you the trouble of having this started over again. So I'll just cast my vote.:D

no worries, I spotted the other one but it became more of a geography lesson to be honest....I just want raw figures and pretty pictures

We can merge the two threads and keep the poll. And why's this in the 3 Series forum?

i've been to 140mph.... not too shabby :)

I have gotten up to 139. Then I saw a few cars up in the distance, so I slowed down. That was at 2:00 am on I-65. I felt like my car was pretty much topped out. Had a little little bit left. Mags say the top speed is 141 for my coug.

ive topped out @ appx. 153 mph with my car.
i just had my ecu chip tampered to remove that pesky
speed/rev limiter. thank you bavauto.com!

with my 2000 Honda Accord V6 (plannin to toss that, and get bmw 325i), i got up to about 220 km/h , i'm from canada so i donno mph off hand

Over 160 MPH on my Yamaha, ran out of road so I had to slow down.

I have gone 90 in my 325xi. I have never had the courage to go over the 100 mark!

Me neither. I just have a bad feeling about going over 100. Maybe when I get a better car. I have gotten it up to 92 on the way to school. It was on a back-road of course. :D

92- nice! when I went 90, it was in the interstate where the speed limit was 55- what was the speed limit where you went 92?

Well I havn't been driving but a year now. I've had a chevy blazer the hole time. It's pretty sporty for an SUV. I currently have a jetta in my shop. But I've hit 100mph in that blazer. But the biggest rush I've ever had was when I was cut off doin about 90. Thanks to ABS I never hit the old fart knock that cut me off. He was only doin about 40 which made it so hard to not kill myself. Well I know 100 isn't too fast but when my jetta is done I'll have to repost. Keep on Dubbin!!

I was cruizing at 145mph up I-5 goin to seattle. I still had some room to play with. Good times with the Sport Quattro.

Took the car up to 140 on the access road to Dulles Airport when I first got it.


This is what I looked like.......:bloated::silly:


Haven't done that since.

I found it to be kind of unsettling. Not to mention, there was a very real possibility of going to jail. I think I enjoy the fast curves of a twisty road alot more than just balls out, straight forward speed!!

i got my cobra to 157 before i started shakin and felt like my rims were bout to fly off

I've only hit 90 in my 320i, but it only has a four-speed tranny for now.
Been alot faster than that in other cars, here's some numbers 4ya...

'96 Camry v6 247 Kp / 153 Mph ,rental- no limiter for some reason.

'77 Pontiac LeMans 240 Km / 149 Mph ,I thought we were going to die the front end was shaking so bad!

But the fastest ever was 275 / 170 Mph on a mostly stock '89 GSX-R1100. Amazing ... passing cars as if they were parked and the front tire actually lifted off the pavement. I only had that bike for a few months and I'm glad cause I would have ended up a road smear.

Those were all good days.....

i got busted doin 87 in a 50mph zone in brooklyn NYC... racin a stupid crx civic.. it had one of those angry weedwacker mufflers on it... sounded so dumb.. couldnt get away from a stock cavalier... worthless mod... i break a hundred atleast 4 times a week... on local roads... gimme a faster car god that handles.. ill go to church everyday.... to pray.. .for my life... and my car... of course..

Seen a indicated 148mph in my scooby STI version 5 coupe when i had it early on in 2001 on a test track i might add,in the Uk.:sun:

I got to 137 before I chickened out. I was approaching a very hilly area of highway in rural Kansas. I was afraid I'd pop over a hill and cream an old farmer on a tractor.

I had my 87 325ic up to 125 :devil:

137 in my 00' Civic Si w/basic mods

My dad's friend has a GT40 that he races, he didn't let me drive it but he gave me a ride - got to 180. Closed course though... no law breaking there...:(

U should come to england if u havent been over 100 ur some kind a pussy! I have a ford Fiesta (sorry americans but us euro people will know what it is) 1.3 ive had 100 out of that, just, down a hill. but ive had my cousons E46 328ci up to 120 and that was as smooth as anything. no probs. GET SOME BALLS!:grey:

are you talkin in kilometers or miles?

MPH, the only way to fly!

I've got a '91 325ix too and I've been at a solid 120 with it. Man gotta luv those german autos!!

I bought a cobra in Texas and drove it back up to new england where I live, and found that would do about 160 or so.

But the real kicker is that I've gone from Albany, NY to Boston, MA and back again in 4 1/2 hours total, non-stop, from Albany to Boston and back. you do the math. That includes the tolls too!

:D :eek:

Some people tap a vain or sniff for it but all I do is hit the gas
speed is addicting its the only way i get high:bandit:

Fastest I've driven....it was the summer of 95, I'd just graduated highschool. The father of a close friend of mine is a serious car collector. He's shown me picture album books of the cars he's owned. Everything from Ferraris to a '53 Merc. Anyway, he often gave his son the keys to his '90 or '91, don't quite remember, Corvette ZR1. This thing was bitchin'. The motor in that car alone should sell for 25grand today. We were on a new toll road by the beach, so new that it looked like a paved racetrack. The '90 ZR1 has a digital speedometer...and according to Chevrolet's engineers, I was doing 167 in one of there cars. This was over six years ago, and to this day, even on trips to Vegas, I've never had the intention of breaking my own personal record.

divide that by 1.61 to get 136.6 mph

My record as a driver is 230km/h (about 144mph) with my previous 728i BMW on the local highway. As a passenger 280km/h (about 175mph) with my friend's Audi RS2 on the Autobahn near Frankfurt.

Oh momma I love speeeed :D

i was on the highway the otherday and the speed limit is 55 and i was going 60 then some guy in a lexus gets on my ass so i speed up to 80 and he is still on my ass so i drop it down to 4th and kick it up to 130 with the quickness, :devil:

for me it was around 137-140ish, but the best part was the e34 M5 doing the same thing right next to me!

I have had my car up to 130 but i try not to look at how fast im going i like to keep my eyes on the road:devil:

'only' 115mph in my golf, maxed out on the motorway.. car unstable, shaking, tyres wobbling, i dont think they were rated for that kind of speed.. the expression on my girlfriend's face when i looked over and told her that! Priceless!
the golf is the only car ive owned and i dont intend to borrow a friend's car to break my record! besides with the amount of speed cameras in the UK its pretty stupid to drive at these speeds.. could have gotten into serious sh*t... oh well...

BMW 325i E36 1992

Totally standard car, no mods.
With two passengers.

240 Kmh sustained for a few minutes (no downhill, no backwind).

It's about 145 Mph or something.

fastest i've been is 125 (downhill on the freeway :P) in my parents 88 accord lx w/133k miles :D

I used to drive 90-110 mph on the 55 mph highways around my house daily... until I realized thats not too smart :)

-Grendel

Hi guys, I'm new to this BB ;)

The fastest I've driven on a straight road was 139mph ... then I ran out of revs:)


Alaska Blue E36 BMW 320i(Euro) (http://johanp1.8m.net/BMW/bmw2.html)

I have only been up to 100mph on a service road i knew was open. Oddly enough the next day a cop was sitting on the side sniping people. In dallas cops are everywhere so it is hard to enjoy the full power in your hands. Someone earlier said that they with 148 or 146 in a 330ci. The BMWUSA home page states that a 330's top speed is 126, and a M3's is 144. I dont know if this a because of a gov. or not. I havent goten to test the numbers for myself yet. I have been up to 114 in my '95 Explorer. Heh. The BMW got to 100 so effortlessly, i wanted to keep it punched but there was a stoplight ahead and i was in a pretty urban area.:D

Oh, ok ;)

I guess it would probably be worth it to import the euro spec models then...

my fastest on the road in the UK is about 130mph, but i took a Dodge Viper up to just a shade over 200mph at Snetterton racetrack,i think i would describe it as .....fun!

about 120 MPH in my 85 bmw 318i

have a 89 honda civc that I think 90 is the max

and we have a 93 ford aerostar the speedo is maxed at 95 MPH and I was at least 20 over, vans were never meant to be driven that fast for a reason

I think it's all in the car's computer. A bit of magic ;) and the US 330 will go the same as it's European sister (brother? ;) )
The only thing I'm not sure is are the brakes in the US versions smaller... That was defenetly the case with Honda Accord Coupe. I used to have one and I compared the US/Canada spec. V6 with European (German) version 2.2. EU Accord had bigger and better brakes.

I doubt if they would put smaller brakes on the US spec...

Fitting smaller brakes just wouldnt make any sense. just because the top speed is different, both cars have the same ability to accelerate and therefore need the same amount of stopping power.

fastest Ive gone was 120 in my 87 CRX. It was about 1:30 A.M on I 94.
It wasnt anything major. Especially when you drive hella fast at night you dont get a vry good perspective of how fast your actually travelling. I made good time getting to the lake though HAAAAAA.

Just clipped 190 in one of the race spec XJR 15's scared the living shit out of me, my brother in laws 220 will do about that but its a bit of a tank (Highly modified (Very Highly)).

I have taken the 528e up to about 110, apparently almost exactly top speed. Owner's manual quotes 111 for '86 528e automatic (my car). Not that fast, but hopefully I'll get an E34 525i soon. Over the past year, I've exceeded 100 about 10 or so times, without much drama due to 225/50R16 tires and a car that's not that slow!

i hit 162 (not bad for a 350 and a 3 speed auto), but that left me with a REALLY hot car that wouldn't start for a few hours, good thing the engines been rebuilt, almost cried, thought i killed it, my fastest passenger place speed was 203 (made me like blown 454 '57 chevy drag cars with nos :>)

wasnt driveing meself but went in this cosworth and holy shit. i av never been in a car so quick in my life. ive own cossys but this must be the beast of them all. going along hits 160 in no time then says hold on. me thinking yes very quick but then he hits the pedle and o my god. it starts burning rubber snakes slightly and o boy revs and speedo went totally off the clock. he said he is running 600ish horses which is nice but 890 foot pound of torque it scared the crap out of me.

130-135mph on I-495, pegged the needle in my honda crx, but i never took the bmw out that fast yet, maybe 85-90mph.

what kind of bmw?

My car is slow, I got up to 111 mph before the smooth straight-away ended.

Hi guys

I like driving fast and because I live near the german boarder I often get over there to flat out my car.

Fastest I have been was in a rented Alfa Romeo 166 3.0 V6 doing 255 km/h (159 mph) on the Autobahn A81 between Singen and Stuttgart.

Here are the links to the pics:

http://medlem.tripodnet.nu/need4speed/pics/michael_lusk250.jpg

I have driven several cars until today and of course I ve seen topspeed and made pics from all of them (You can see all of them on http://come.to/need4speed). Here are the figures:

Seat Leon 1.8 T 20V, 240 km/h
Volvo S60 2.4 A, 225 km/h
Fiat Punto GT, 225 km/h
Opel Astra Caravan 1.6, 210 km/h
Renault Clio 1.4, 202 km/h
Mazda 121, 180 km/h
VW Beetle, 136 km/h

Send in also pics of your car to prove how fast you have really been.

many regards
Michael

I have gone 90 in my 325xi. I have never had the courage to go over the 100 mark!

I have a 95 Corolla and I've done 100 in it! If I had a 325 or any 3 series for that matter I'd be going a LOT faster all the time! :D Use your power for the people who don't have it!

110 on I-15 chasing an E55, but i laid off because i saw lights up ahead. when i passed going to speed limit he took off backwards for some reason and went off the off ramp going really fast. the E55 is some girls moms car that goes to my school. her dad has a 288 GTO, 360, 360 spider, 550 barchetta, lambo Mioura (sp?)

I was going 92 in a 45. But since the time I posted my first message, I have gotten up to 115 on the same stretch of road.

About 170 driving my uncle's '99 Lotus Esprit. Long straight road, wondering if I'm gonna die. You should try it:flash:

In my younger years - had a pinto that would do 120.
Got a ticket doing 128 in a '71 LTD - didn't know that things that big could go that fast!
Biggest rush was doing over 145 in a Datsun 260Z. Took forever to get it stopped!
Just got rid of a '70 Mustang I had in Japan - Old, but it'd still do 120 when I could find a road big enough and clear enought to open it up on.

146 mph (235km/h) with our '90 Lexus LS400:cool: on German Autobahn (means legal)

156 Km/h in a VW Golf GTi, there is a thread in Honda/Acura Asia Pacific forum (What car has always been on your want list?) look at that for more info

115 in a '98 dodge avenger
113 in a '02 dodge intrepid
112 in a '96 ford taurus
120 on the back of a flathead harley davidson
105 in my own '92 plymouth acclaim

i've gotten to 140 in my si..
150 in my old gsr
155 in my buddies rx-7
159 or so in my s2000
and 165 in an nsx once.. and it scared the hell out of me... :eek:
but i loved it :D

100 MPH, Stock Holden TF Gemini

140 kp/h, this was my toyota corona btw... along a moderate stretch of backstreet at 2am in the morning... handled like a tank past 100 but she got there in the end...

i've also done 130 in my friends chrysler galant (its little 1.5L was SCREAMING!!)... the backstreet has a few kerbs that you have to slow down for, so i popped it back to 3rd, the engine kicked up a few thousand revs, tyres were screaming (coz they were bald)... its pretty much stopped me from doing stuff like that again... or until i can get a car thats meant to perform well at high speeds...

this was all done a few days after i got my liscence, so i was fairly inexperienced at the time...

i've buried the needle in my civic way past te 130mph @ like 6200 rpm. so i'd say somewhere around 140 something.

115 in a 25 once before on a road called rollercoaster hill. it goes downhill and then up sharply giving the feeling of riding a coaster. the G forces are INTENSE.

110 chasing a mustang on ocean ave. (30mph zone) i proceeded to pass him on a turn at about 80mph.

170+ on a friends 'busa when i questioned its capability of speed. i felt it had more but i was NOT about to go any faster. (i was scared shitless as it was)

about 55 was the top for me ...but thats cuz im 15 and my mom wouldnt let me drive any faster..but when im 16...i think 105-110 on I-81 would work ;) :) :D

but i have ridden in a E46 M3 of a friend of mines and been to the 120 mark and then saw cops. And a friend of my dads has a race tuned Esprit road car and i rode in that and got to 180 and then i was shitting my pants and hoping not to die

I have been way past 200 km/h :frog:

Okay so I was cruising my mom's 1998 Ford Escort ES Sport(about 92 horsepower to the wheels,a real man's car)on the highway going about 70-75 mph.I come across this rig going about 55.Well you know the phrase,Can't Drive 55,so I whip into the left lane(two-way road)and get on it.About halfway through the trailer(The Escort only took about a minute or two on good days to pass rigs.A true muscle car.)I see a Mack blasting right for me.So I rev the gutsy four cylinder to the point that the powerfull buzzing from the engine almost blew me ears out.I flip it over into the right lane just in time,the huge 13" tigerpaws screeching and pawing for traction.Threw all this conclusion,I realized I had not checked the speedo.96 mph!!!!Trust me,you will never know true performance untill you've revved an Escort to a whooping 96 mph.I became a man that day. :grey:

159mph RX-7 Turbo II
112mph RX-7 R1 Competition Yellow
100mph RX-7 Savanna GSL-SE

Need guts to go more than 160mph.....scary man!!!

Hit the 250 KM/h limiter in the MB 400SE. Whee! I love having the Autobahn nearby.

{tm}
It can growl. Oh yes it can.

I regulary do 90-100mph on the B-roads going to work in the UK. Standard Focus.

The fastest was 140mph (probably 125-130 real speed) in my Civic VTi (B16a 160 bhp). It was a clear evening on the Motorway with 3 lanes to myself with about 500rpm to the redline then I sh*t it.

the fastest, it was arround 230kmh (140mph) with an Alfa 166 V6 Turbo.
But usually, I don't overpass 170 (105 mph) on the highway in order to avoid fines and radars.

you can go 105 without paying fines?

Ive toped out a 93 R1 FD3S on the A6 Autobahn hedding to Landstule..it was fun:)

You can. The speed limit (on the higway) is, in France, 85 mph, but the radars are set on 100 mph. You can drive faster if you want : there are not as many radars as in England or, worse, in the USA.
In Italy, it's better, the spid limit is 95 mph (with a tolerance too).
The best is, of course in Germany, where there are not speed limit.

I hit about 115 in my Cutlass one night and it still had a bit left, but I was on Highway 83 where the speed limit is 65 so I decided not to try to max it out.

with my dad's mercedes 190E, the fastest was 150kmh while i was driving

A 166 V6 Turbo :eek: :eek: :eek: Do tell me more:eek:

This 166 is a 2.0 V6 Turbo 205hp. Very nice car and... very nice motor, as every time by Alfa Romeo ! 0-60mph : 7,9 sec. max speed : 155 mph.
It's the car of my sister's husband.
You feel the turbo when you're accelerating. It's an exceptional car, nice to drive. But, it's not very big inside (for the size of the car), worse than a 5 series !
On the little roads, it's almost agile like a little GTI. And on the Highway, perfect stability and you can go quite fast without knowing it ;)
Finally, i can't forget to speak about the motor's song, so nice.
And I hope I will be able to buy a 156 around 2004.

and no comment ;) (arround 180mph)

The max in a car would be the 290 km/h I've done in my brothers Audi S2 with +/- 440 bhp.
We haven't topped it yet... It keeps on going!

The max I've done on a bike would be the 327 km/h I've done on a non-standard Hayabusa.
The original speedometer only goes up to 300 km/h but I mounted a cat-eye bike speedometer and those are very accurate.

The max speed I've done wheelying is 227 km/h underneath a bridge-restaurant on a Dutch highway. :cool:

:D 135 ... then i ran out of road :mad:

that was crusing speed... i am sure i passed that speed but after i braked a little and look at the dash thats what a saw.

I am not sure. I would say over 140. The speedo had wrapped around back to 35MPH and the spedo tops out at 125MPH, and the engine had some more room to go.

I took my mother's 2002 Ford Escape XLT up to 100-mph once. That thing kicks ass. It's Duretec 32-valve twin-cam V6 has got 200-hp stock & will haul. It's the front-wheel drive version so it pulls harder & is lighter. I think it's good for a high 16 in the 1/4. That don't sound like much, but for me....:sun:

ouh... 100 mph, that's pretty fast :D

Believe me, in a big clumsy Escape, it feels like 230-mph. :flash:

maybe... drive an X5 ;)

maybe... drive an X5 ;)

Well, a X5's not exactly in the same class as an Escape. A X5 would eat an Escape whole & spit out the Chassis.... :licker:

169mph on the digital in my friends Corvette...This Corvette to be exact...

... I don't really know the Escape ;)

I went with my Delta to 200kmh last Friday. The rest at arround 170-180.

MY MAX WAS 120MPH IN MY 94 NISSAN NX2000

Winter of 1974/75:

A freind had a real oddball... a 1958 Chrysler 300D onto which had been dropped the rear body of the same year Plymouth station wagon. Still had the cool front end, and the 392 Hemi with 2 four-barrels, but a light body and I suspect slightly more aerodynamic. I hit 150mph one afternoon on the freeway.... on bias-ply tires. That should've scared the *** out of me.

just this past week like tuesday I think it was I was doing 95 on this country back road. Doesn't sound impressive but read on. I was coming up on a long sweeping turn so I slowed down to 90 and then about half way through it I got back up to 95 anyway my friend starts telling me to get over. I was focused and didn't listen to him so I look ahead and there's a dip in the pavement that's like 10 feet long, not a sharp dip just a smooth dip in the pavement. anyway I didn't want to swerve so I hit it, the suspension botttomed out completely and when I came out of it the car had to leave the ground by at least 5 inches cause the engine reved and it landed hard as shit. anyway I've had it up to 120 but this incident was more exciting.

240+kph on the nullibor plains in a 1980 XD Spac

at 240 i ran out of speedo so i dont know if i was goin faster than that

in my 97 z-28 6/speed i was burying the needle on 150. 150 speedo isnot enough in that car. damn you chevrolet!:smoka:

The fastest I've ever driven is about 130 in my 87 Celica. It scared the livin sh!t outta me! :eek: I was racin a couple friends, one friend's CRX topped out a 100, and the other kids car passed me. I believe he topped out a 140. I never did that again!

The fastest I've done in my Mitsubishi Spyder is 105, it had more room to go but I had enough. I didn't want to risks wrecking it or killing myself, I had just bought it. :)

*94* accord,
Fastest 118,
4th gear 5 thousand
5th gear same speed much lower
I have a limiter at this speed...Can go faster and want to car feels very smooth at this speed. I gotta get that thing removed.

153 mph. Took me a while, but the 6-speed helped.

i did the 240+ in a 4 speed (gearbox didnt like it)

:o80-90-100, those are daily crusing speeds for me when driving around the nations capitol, but anything faster then that is very risky. State Troopers are hard pressed to catch "speeders" especially at night and when it's even remotly warm. Thats in fact due to all those bastard copy-cat kids who think they're auditioning for the next Fast & Furious :rolleyes:

However there are ways around this, and my top speed has been around 140ish on my 1996 Avalon @ around 4000rpm in 4th, before i ran out of road, and i've yet to try and max since. My 2000 i've only taken up to 127 just because it feels so floaty and out of control at anything over 120mph.

well here in germany as you know we have NO speed limits out of the cities


so in my bmw z3 i daily reach top speed of about 230kmh that are hm
135-140 mph
in our bmw 540 i also drive very often 260 (it´s not limited any more)
thats about 160 mph

in my uncle´s 993 turbo S i reachedeasily more than 180 mph

ahhhh... the free germans highways.... wish we had that over here )

In corolla .. toll road .. 160-190 kmh .. about 100-120 mph
In MB E-class .. toll road ... 210 kmh ... about 130 mph
In BMW 7 series .. toll road .. 200 kmh .. about 124 mph
Test Drove Maserati 3200 matic .. toll road .. 200 kmh .. about 124 mph

Wish there are many autobahn here .... i can go flat out ... :mad: :( :) :D

As I see you're Irish, I've a question for you BMW-hamman : are your speed limits in mph or in kmh ? I'm not sure... ;) even if i went in this beautiful country 6 or 7 years ago. Belfast was ot the best, but the rest was beautiful, nice country, but I'm not a fan of the Guinness :D

Teh fastest on the road was about 140-ish-mph, but on the race track I have been about 200mph, in a racing Diablo.

Stefanel .. I am Indonesian Chinese .. :) ... speed limitss .. ehh .. in KMH but nobody cares here .. as long as you have the space ... u can flat out ... but the problem is the toll road condition is not smooth and too many crazy drivers ... hahhahahah .. :) ... that's why I said I wish I have the German Autobahn .. that I just went there A few days ago in my business trip ... ;) :D

You put an Irish flag in your profile ;)

Indonesia is wonderfull, my godfather worked there for TotalFinaElf for about 6 years.
Speed limits in Germany are indeed quite smart, overall on the highways :D
Come here to say hello when you'll be in Paris :D ;)

upppss .. :eek: ... so sorry .. I didn't check it ... :p

Total Fina Elf? .. is that an oil company? ... :) ..

When i was in German (Munich and Hamburg) .. I took the taxi from airport to hotel .. the taxi was an old E class (1989 maybe) diesel non turbo and the suspension almost give I think .. but the driver ran it 160 kmh on the autobahn and felt ok ... coz the autobahn was so smooth .. so amazing .. :) ..

I had a French Customer but they gave up a year ago .. I tried to contacted but nobody answers the phone ... If they still active for sure I'll be visit Paris too .. This time I only went to German, Spain, Italy, and USA .. suppose to be in Shanghai now but I cancelled it ... u know .. bcoz of the virus .. that's why I can post tonight .. and thank u for your kindness .. If I have plan to come to Paris I will inform u stefanel .. :)

TotalFinaElf is one of the main oil company in the world ;)

160kmh, it's not fast on an highway (i don't know the Indonesian highways though ;) ). But in France, you can also drive untill 160 without problems with the radars.

This virus is quite dangerous :(

Ohh .. OK .. :) ..

oh yeah .. at the autobahn 160 kmh is nothing ... but the suspension of the taxi car almost gone .. even the taxi car engine run in high temp for normal MB ... more than 100 ... :D

The Indonesian highway is not good .. only has 2 lane .. u can reach 130 quite easy but above that quite difficult ... many trucks and buses .. some of them trying to overtake the other truck but not enough power .. so u can imagine it .. takes quite long time .. so many times I use the emergency lane to overtakes all of them ... I can reach 160 to 180 for 2 to 3 seconds than I have to brake ...:( .. I hate it .. :mad: .. but what can I do ... :D

Munich is a very nice city .. I like it .. next time if i have the schedule to go to Munich I will inform u by PM Menu .. thank u for your kindness .. :D

You'll meet all the European members of this forum :D

I can imagine this kind of highways (Indonesian) because it's the same thing as in some eastern countries (it's changing though). I went in Roumania in 1995 and it's quite "funny" to drive there :D .... !

But the better highways are in the USA : 100 kmh on a 8 lanes highway :D at 120 : jail !

Oh god..............Even in New Zealand they didn't care if you were at 120 on a 100km/h road- they just gave you a fine- 150 got you arrested I think:confused:

How funny is that stefanel? .. :)

fastest i've ever driven was around 150 in my best friends Pantera.

ahhh .. in reality nobody drives 100 kmh on USA highway .. mostly they do like 70 mph and more ... I go to US regularly and I have cousin who lives in LA .. the husband always goes like 80 mph to 85 mph most of the time ... and sometimes 100 mph (160 kmh) with his S 420 or Lexus 470 ... but have to be careful ... always check surrounding .. hehhehehe .. :) ... above 100 mph u will go straight to jail if caught ... hahhahaa :D

what will happen to your drivers license?
how long are you in jail?
can´t you pay some money to keep your license and not go to jail?

I exagerate when I say 120kmh ! but in the USA, you really can't drive fast because there are cops everywhere and at 160 kmh on an american highway, you can get a big fine. In France or in Italy you can be upset for your wallet from 100 kmh, and no need to specify for Germany ;)
And that's the same on all the American roads which are often much bigger than European ones but where people are far more slower.

me and my cousin's husband never been catch by the police but I got the information from him if the police catch you while u r speeding above 100 mph (160kmh), u will go straight to jail, then the police will make a mark on your driving licence and for sure you have to pay the fine too ... :p .. so don't drive above 100 mph (160 kmh) on the american highway .. :p ...

:) ... I agree with you ... many patrol cars .. like I said .. u have to be careful ... but in LA highway u better match your speed with all other car surround u .. if all of them do 75 mph than u go with the same speed ... if you go less or faster the police might catch u .. and most of the time americans drive about 75 mph to 80 mph (120 kmh to 128 kmh) .. on some american highway there is a car pool lane .. so the car with more then 1 people inside can use this lane .. less crowded lane means faster ... :p .. good for about 85 mph .. :D .. I have information that at night there are some places (highway) you can drive fast with less risk ... ;)

85mph : it's the speed limit in France :D and it's too slow, in Italy they adjusted it to 95mph (150 kmh). But under 160 kmh (100 mph), it's ok in France eitehr there are other cars on the highway or you're alone ;)

I got busted at 193 km/h once- lost my lisence for 6 months :( The highways in NZ are mostly 1 lane- with 2 lane passing lanes here and there-the motorways of Auckland and Wellington can get as much as 4 lanes :eek: (Still not much compared to some of the highways/motorways in Italy ;))


Anyway the NZ highway is excellent if you like roads with not many cars (Except in the holiday season- where it becomes overcrowded) and NZ drivers suck :mad:

My Subaru will top out at 70mph - but would you really want to go any faster in something that small?
Are any of you taking into account speedometer error? The faster you go the greater the difference between your actual speed and the speed your speedometer gives you.
Here in the U.S. we have this great little place called "Montana" I'm not sure what they're doing now but for a long time most of their highways had no speedlimits - it'd be the perfect place to blow out the cobwebs if it weren't for those pesky cross-winds.

Wow:eek: .. jimster .. That was really bad ... What car did u use that time? .. ur 156? .. coz I know 156 is a nice car and fast too ... :)

Hey .. 4 lanes are nice .. :) .. especially compare to here .. 2 lanes only ... can be three if consider the emergency lane ... hahahhahaha:D .. but have to be very careful and always check the surrounding view for the police patrol car .. :D

hello 2 stroke .. is your subaru the one at your avatar (left side)? .. :) .. the model is very cute? .. what year is that?:) .. r u sure only 70 mph for the top speed? .. how big is the engine? .. :)

about the speedometer error almost always happen in any car .. including the good european car like MB or BMW .. usually the speedo star show error at about 60 kmh .. From the car magazine I knew only Lexus has the very minimal error .. when the speedo show 160 kmh and in reality about 159 kmh ... :) ..

Montana? .. where is that? .. :)

I don't use the 156 in NZ- simply because I don't live there anymore :D I live in Italy for the time being for a 3 year work contract with FIAT :)


But I was using a Peugeot 6O7 V6- not a slow car by all means :D Your IP puts you in Indonesia- so I'm guessing you live there right? I've driven in Indonesia before..................Interesting experience indeed :D

Currently I live in Genoa- which is in the North West and yes I use the 156 in Italy


And I've driven in Jakarta and also Bali- which is more laid back than Jakarta- but the drivers suck :D

Jim : I'll buy a 156, and I'm selling my Delta ;)
Eitehr an 1.6 or an 1.8 !

my first car was a 87 camaro v8 sc (had it 6 months then got rear ended by a bronco !!!) , I took it to top speed which is somewhere in the low 130's I believe , wind was coming in through the window seals , im lucky I didnt get pulled !!!! Never taken my newer car above 85 however as I have grown wiser (and im terrified they'll take my car !!! I love my car). Top speed for an 84 z28 with the Automatic is 145 :) , who knows , one day I might give it a shot :)

oh yeah I almost forgot hehe , 1 week after I got my liscense I was driving my moms 1991 or so Ford Taurus (my mom had one , my dad had 2 , needless to say I hate them!!!) well It was late at night and I was curious what moms POS taurus could go..... Got to 88 least thats what the Highway Patrolman told me :zx11pisse .....
fortunately he gave me a warning . Never been caught speeding again :)

The Subaru is a 1969 360 (the one in my avatar is also a 360 but an earlier year) it has a 356cc 25hp engine and 70mph is the top speed (unless you're going downhill)

Montana is almost in Canada, it's at the northern edge of the U.S.

2.5 litres and 190bhp stock- but now putting out around about 215bhp.

and I was in Jakarta in 1996 on a business trip and Bali in 1999 for a vacation- I don't care about any dumbassed bomb-blasts- I'd still go back to Bali- it was an awesome place, very beautiful indeed.


and Stephanel- Nice choice :D Hopingthat you will have a trouble free motoring experience :D

of course I will :D the 1.6 is reliable isn't it ?

hemm .. nice engine .. what did u do with that to increase the HP?:D .. were u going with chip tuning and mufler or header? .. :D

Jakarta has 4 lanes and 3 lanes highway but so crowded and many times jam ... and when u back to the normal road u have to always deal with crazy buses, trucks, and cars that like to cut your lane anytime ... hahahahahah ... and in jakarta u can grow old on the road becoz of traffic jam almost most of times ... hehehhehehe .. :p ... classic problem for the big city I think ... :) ... jimster .. last christmas and last new year u should go to Bali .. the Hotels give about 50% to 80% Discount even the 5 stars ... A very good deal .. becoz nobody wants to go there ... hehehehhe ... only local come at last new year .. :D .. Did u go to Bedugul (the Lake at the mountain side)?

Intake, Air filter, Muffler, Exhaust, Header, camfshafts, cam gears and chippping have all been done- and I've voided my warranty- but when you are the GM of a dealership- you don't have to worry about any of that stuff :D I never got to visit Bedugul- but from what I hear it is an awesome sight. :D


Stefanel;- the 1.6 is VERY unlikely to give any problems ;)

Bedugul quite good .. there is a hotel exactly next to that lake .. the temp between 20-23 degree of celcius .. I don't know how to convert to farentheit .. :p .. :D

I lived in New Zealand and now live in Italy- hence I only use Celcius when talkig about temprature :D



I'm doing a dyno test in the weekend- I'll keep you updated;)

Subaru claimed 66mpg, but in real life 50-55mpg is what you'll get with it.

Thanks Hamann , I know I love the color , I think it one of the best looking blues I ever have seen , when I repaint the car I think Im going to use the same color :) , I think its a mixture of chrysler royal blue and a little metal flake , that what I think the original owner told me , he painted the car him self :) , i need a repaint though , its going on 6 or 7 years old and is starting to flake in places it got chipped (under the bra is bad , why it was on there , the bra didnt do it but when it got bad I had to cover it). As for the car , I love it I cant think of anything in the price range I'd ever trade it for :)

you're welcome Big Justin .. :) .. if u want to repaint it try to consider wet looks finish .. :) .. mine has darker blue and I like it very much too .. :D .. where did your car got all the chipped? from the Freeway? .. :confused: ...

hehe no dirt roads , a girl I knew wanted me to take her back into Nags Head Woods here in NC , its not really a good road for any sports car but my car cleared the little hills fine , at low speed. Didn't know the dirt was so loose every time I'd slow down it would start to get stuck so I kept going about 30 through the woods , was a fun rough drive if anything,but when I got out the car and saw what happened to the nose I almost had a heart attack.
I thought about maybe adding some pearl to it so it would be glossier I keep it waxed pretty good but I'd like it wetter. All depends on how much money I have when I paint her. I havent finished with the motor yet , when I have it at a horsepower level I feel I'm happy with I'll go ahead and have the car painted and I'll start to seriously show it. I show it now but its nowhere near mint enough to win a serious car show :)

I thought about maybe adding some pearl to it so it would be glossier I keep it waxed pretty good but I'd like it wetter. All depends on how much money I have when I paint her.

ok .. just be gentle with your car justin .. hehehe .. :) .. some pearl will be good too .. and what do you do with the engine? r u modifying it? :)

The fastest I have driven is about 235 KMH going flat-out on the Autobahn in Germany, using the BMW 323 Ci, It felt as going 5000 KMH with my Renault 25 !, but what an experience !

hehe I've only got the basics done so far , see exhaust and filter. Going to add a msd coil soon , then gonna mess with some slightly more powerful secondary metering rods , i've heard ck's are good for these .then probably an intake (probably an edelbrock performer EGR), 1.6 rockers , edelbrock tubular exhaust system (headers!!!), . Then either gonna get some s/r torquer 305 heads or just have some 1.94 intake valves put in my stock heads along with a good 3 angle valve job. Of course a complete longblock swap isnt out of the question , I have an ole 68 vette 350 horse 327 that has nothing to go in yet , been thinking of trying a modified version of the 350 HO swap GM makes for this car :). A car like mine with the 350 HO conversion ran the 1/4 in the 13.8 second range :)

have a new topspeed driven :-)
finally again i could drive my uncle´s 993 turbo s again.
reeched about 310 yesterday.. wow that felt great. that fells so much faster than 250. you cannot believe it. it´s incredible!

if u change ur coil better to go with the wire too ... :) .. Edelbrook is a famous brand too .. must be good .. how about porting your cilinder head .. raise the compression .. is it cheaper compare to swap the whole block? ... :) ..

My brother have a 427 CI Ford Mustang Engine ... and he bought a 67 mustang .. in the end the engine couldn't be installed bcoz too big .. I told him but he never listened .. hahhahaha .. so he sold the body but still keep the engine .. so crazy ... hahhaha .. :)

menuuu .. I envy u .... :D ... please can u describe it how u felt while doing 310 kmh ;) .. how about the stability of the car ... :)

I have to delay my plan till next year to buy the sport car because this year I have to buy brand new 2 cars and the business condition is not good right now ... :( :mad: ... 3 brand new cars will be too much ... hehehhehe ..
Right now my choices priority are a 355 f1 in good condition and if I can't find it then I will go to new 996 C4S or maybe new 996 turbo and new the Maserati 4200 Cambiocorsa will be my last option .. :D :)

It's not really which is cheaper , its which is more troblesome :) , my car is also basically my daily driver , a motor swap would take it offline for sometime while the bit by bit would be easier for me

ok ... and modifying bit by bit also good for you to know every progress ... :D

well going 310 is a great feeling. the streets have to be empty. you always have cars that don´t look back and just change lanes... but it was ok.
well driving 310 is very hard to describe. you have to feel it. the car was lying quite good on the street. good downforce (if i compare to my z3 who begins to get airy at the rear axle at about 220.)
the steering is maybe a bit to easy at high speeds.
the sound of the watercooled engine is awesome. the 993 turbo is my favourite turbo. it has much more style than the 996 ;)

I once drove topspeed in a '95 Fiat Punto with no less of 60 bhp!
onehundred-and-sixty km/h
=ninety-nine-point-four mph.

how do you like that?!:finger:

Not bad with a Punto 60 ;)
Eh, I got 158 kmh in a Twingo 1.2 55ch :D

your signature : :D :D ;)

menuuu .. I wish I can feel it .. problem number one ... I have no car that can run 310kmh .. number two not enough road for that kind of speed ... :( .. how about the temp while u r going that fast? .. and how long u hold that speed?:) ...

hi,

do you mean oil and water temp or the outside temp? well outside temp... was sunny. air temp about hm 17 and street maybe 22 or so.

well 310 i only reeched short cause i had to brake down to about 120.
a ******* blue ford fiesta changed the lanes.... :mad:
the porsche runs about 325 kmh. it´s not stock it´s a bit modified by RUF.
most of the time i ran between 200-300 for about half an our... well hat was soooooooooo much fun you cannot imagine.
btw. i cannot wait for our z4 :) we´ll buy one maybe in autumn.
ac-schnitzer offers nice tuning stuff for the z4. but i´ll probably only get racing rims type 3. or the bbs CH. i´m not sure. the bbs challenge would only cost me about 1800$ but the ac schnitzer more than 6000$. and i don´t know why i should pay so much more for the wheels hmmm.

yep :) , I can build this lil 305 HO to around 300hp for less than $1000 without taking the block out :). Can go higher if I switch to fuel injection which is easy because 85-86 tp. The engine swap becomes less a good idea to me the longer I think about it. Sure the hp I could build on a 350+ block are endless but I have to worry about street legallity and tuning . You wouldnt believe how many performance parts thier are for this ole 84 carbed 305 HO. It all comes down to what do I want to spend and how much work do I want to put into it. Also I have to ask myself , "Do I need a 400+HP daily driver?" . Also after thinking about it , I can afford to do an engine swap on this thing the street legal and right way. If it cant pass inspection what am I gonna do with it ? I think I'm going to save that 327 HO (350hp) motor I have for when I finally get that 69 camaro I'm always dreaming about :)!!!

the fastest i've gone is 147mph on the freeway with my 92 GTP. that little 3.4L kicks ass!!!:D :finger:

uppps ... sorry menu for incomplete question ... I meant engine temperature .. :) .. u r a lucky man .. :D ...

Hey ... once u install that rims please load some pics here ok ... :D ... how come the price so big different? ... yesterday I came to see the new showroom ... it was so amazing .. they have 1 green murcielago, 1 of 360 red modena, 1 of 360 silver cabrio, 1 of yellow 355, 2 porsche turbo, 1 boxster, 1 black maserati 4200 gt, 1 black aston martin DB 7, some RR and Bentley, 2 jaguar XKR, some new 500 SL, and some other expensive cars ... I was checking at the 355 ... the car use for only 178 km on the odometer but the centre plastic dashboard console was wash out ... make me fell down .. but my eye kept starred at the so gorgeous Murcielago ... so wide, low, and macho ... the problem is the will sell it for USD 560000 ... :mad: ... so I have to tried very hard not to look at it but I fail ... hahhahahahahhaha ... :) :D

Last week I drove a 1999 Mini Cooper up to 180kph, I can tell you that was pretty scarry!

Drove 110mph, I know compared to most of you thats not much but again I didnt have my license, the car wasnt that great (95 Cavalier), and I didnt have my temps either, my mom didint know I took it soo didnt want to go to the all powerful 120 and mess up the engine, it was already burning enough...

How fast is that in MPH?

here's me on my way to my best ever- 170 mph - run. btw, could someone who's read the entire thread tell me what the fastest speed has been so far (and in what car) so i don't have to read 100 posts? thanks

about 110

129, speed limited, would have gone a heck of a lot faster, didnt know 5th gear pulled that hard!!

130+ before i ran outta space an had to start slowing.

i hit 105 in my '91 Explorer and thought i was gonna die
i hit 122 in my '98 A6 smooth as silk
i hit 110 in my '94 E-320 with plenty left to go

the speedometer only went up to 130 but I had it probably a half inch over that so I'll guess 135 with 1500 RPM left but no more acceleration.

170 mph in the car (Lambo) and 183 mph on my bike (Yamaha R1).

The car has more to give, but I just need to find a long enough road, devoid of other traffic.

:tongue:

180kmh = 111.8486 mph :)

I've had the GTR up to 275kmh or 170.8 mph.

update for me




about 336 kmh (much more than 200 mph) in a porsche turbo (owned by a friend of me)

120ish in my GS-R :) Had to slow down because of a fat turn on the freeway.

And in my friends 7 series BMW we hit 140 somthin.

Oh momma I love speeeed :D

Yeah, the German Autobahn rocks! Lots of parts of the German highways have no speed limit, go as fast as you could! :iceslolan

The fastest I made with my Opel Corsa A aka Vauxhall Nova was 185 km/h and that car has only 45 hp!

And I drove the new BMW Z4 with the 3.0l engine, kicked it to 250 km/h. You can´t go fast with it 'cause the speed is limited by BMW to avoid accidents etc.

me and my cousin hit 145 in his 92 supra hes hit 165 in his ol'conquest but that was w/ a pretty hefty nas hookup that burned up his engine

Ever go 90 MPH on a 25 MPH road? I have

went 118 on i-20, got pulled over doing 88 in a 55

saldy i hit 120 in a sonata on 35w in minn and beat a accord man thats gotta hurt

I did 123 on I-90 this summer in my Legacy. Then my engine did the same thing it does in Gran Turismo when your car tops off. Reeerrreeerreeeerrr! :bigthumb:

I've done 200kph. :smile:

I've done:
158 on my R-6
115 in my Fiero
125 in my Firebird

My friend has a GSXR 1000 he's been 164, but the crazy thing is he was in 4th gear with 2000 RPM left before redline!

The scariest thing though was going 80 in my 1979 Blazer, all of the steering bushings were worn out and it walked badly. The only time I thought I was going to die.

-I went 100 in my dads windstar (with my whole family in the car... trying to see how fast it could go, lol)

-120 in my S2K, steering's real fidgety when u go fast :frown:

-132 in my moms V6 honda accord, still had some left too. those got some serious speed for a 4 door.:bigthumb:

I've taken my car to around 162 when it actually stopped and started to slow to top out at 131mph. I found out later I had blown a spark plug. I thougt the Turbo was dead. But the turbo has nothing to do with Top Speed. It just gets u there much faster. I've raced cars from Mustangs, to Suped up Eclipse and Accords with only 5 spark plugs. Still left them in the dust. I changed the plugs and so i'm taking on Vipers and Vettes again. Looking to upgrade to a stage "3" mod for my 911. That will give me about 500hp with a dual Turbo. 0-60 should rocket me into the 3.9 range. i can hit 0-60 now after service in about 4.5 second range.

144 in my '88 RX7 (no turbo). On 24 East in CA bay area (pretty flat stretch of freeway) at roughly 1:30 am. This was the absolute limit of my car.

I hit the gov @ 124 in my SL2. I have H rated tires, so I thought I was going to die. But I did manage to take a pic. However I cant find it. But I will post it when I get it off my friends server. It was also on a deserted streatch of 35 mph road! Beat That!

I did 15mph through a car park in my dad's Clio
Didn't even press the accelerator, just let go of the clutch and rolled...
(If you're 13)Since you can drive on your own land or someone elses with there permission but not on the road. Could a 13 yr old drive at a race track with the track owners permission???????
Just asking:bigthumb:

146+ in my Dodge Spirit R/T. Top speed run with a Northstart Caddy. He hit a brick wall at 146 (limited I assume) I was still pulling ahead. Can you say flying phone booth.

Let's say for a moment that your serious, which I asuume you are NOT. :rolleyes: There is No track existing in the United States that will let a 13yrold, or non-licenses driver as a matter of a fact, get behind of the wheel of a car and race down it. Maybe in France, Russia, or some God awful African nation where they just don't care, but not here kid. So I suggest that you sit back, enjoy being fresh out of your pre-teens, and wait for your turn. :bigthumb:

Well, in my '94 Grand Prix SE coupe, I saw 115 on the interstate on my way back from Jacksonville, AL. I had been to the Regional Basketball tourney my senior year, and my dad had told me my car had a speed limiter, probably around 93mph. Me and my friends decided to give it a shot, and we had the speedo maxed out, cause it only went to 115.

In the '97 Bonneville SSE, I probably saw 75-80, never gave it a shot.

In my '97 GTP, I've seen 93, couldn't go any faster cause my friend in his '92 Camaro RS was in front of me, and apparently he got scared at 93 and wouldn't go any faster. Supposedly, the speed limiter on this car is 126, but I haven't got on the interstate and maxed it out yet :tongue: I can tell you that at 93, she's still got plenty more to give!

well in my old car i hit 124.. the old car just so happened to be a honda accord 96, wagon body too.. lol. but none of my friends believe me. just cuz its a 4 cyd. but who cars.. add me in there =-)

3 mph... driving my dad's camry into the driveway :icon16:

i did 160 in my tvr i swear it could have gone faster

I did 125 in a 65 mph zone once...



...and only once!

132mph - BMW M3

I'm 17... dont worry I still have plenty of time to drive much faster and endanger my life!

cool
i did 120 in my audi

Hey!
Farbod which cars do you have? what models? :smokin:

I raced an SL 55 AMG on the road a few days ago! i went 140, but the SL just kept going to 155, and i didnt want to push it because it was a crowded motorway, although people were moving out the way for us. I was ahead towards the end, but boy the SL's are quick! :sunglasse
The managing director of the company I am a non-executive director of just got a titanium SL55 AMG too. If i could afford the £96,000 tag then I would be tempted. Beautiful! :smile:

120 MPH in my 944 between turns 1 and 2 at Bridgehampton (gone, :crying: ) The kicker here...turns 1 and 2 at Bridgehampton are about 100 yds apart :22yikes: Turn 1 was mighty fast.

I'd be interested to know how fast you've travelled whilst in control of your vehicle.....and where. Don't care about legality, just the figures.

Ready - steady - GO!

According to the state trooper, I was doing 168 mph in Camaro...thank goodness for knowing the trooper. I was on a long straight back country highway in Texas.

The bad news came while I slowing down to get my lecture; I blew a heater hose and had to call a tow truck.

something similar happened to me and my friend in his 650 hp turbo

we came home from a porsche drivers training from "Boxberg" (= bosh test tracks for esp)

we drove 200kmh and saw an sl in front of us.
we batlled until 310kmh and he went to the right. we passed easily and went 339 yea it´s damn fast!

Well, I originally posted that 95 (or maybe 98) was the fastest I'd gone in my current Grand Prix, but I had it up to 100mph the other night. Then I ran out of straight road.

Well, my oldsmobile shuts down at 127 and I got it to the point where it slowed itself down, so I guess the fastest Ive gone is 127.

145. 1993 Mustang GT (5spd) stock motor w/ 3.55 gears and MSD Ignition....and a couple of thrown rods! LOL

100 mph in a '01 tahoe..it cant go ne faster than that...that things is so frickin heavy n smooth u cant tell that ur goin that fast....i guess thats y my mom didnt notice...lol

I've gotten my TA up to 115... I'd like to get her up to about 140/150 but I won't because I've gotten so many speeding tickets already that I can't afford another one. BTW, the speed limit was 35 where I was going 115... :evillol:

ive hit 105mph in my aspire with 3k till the redline

168 in a GN going that fast in a regal body is not scary. but slowing down is

128 at some time between 12am and 3am on a 4 lane divided road on the outside of town. I turned the OverDrive off before the "race" and the guy wouldn't let up after me beating him so we just kept going until I was about to hit redline in 3rd and since the OD was off it wasn't going to shift (Arrrgggg stupid automatics).

The details have been held because of the possibility of incrimination :lol: :rolleyes:

I get chills reading these numbers. Here in New York I am not going more then 10 over the limit in most cases because of the points and insurance premium increase, however when I traveled to Quebec I did 105-110 twice, ones in a Grand marquis and the second time in a Toyota Sienna both reatals, I took the risk because I tought they don't share the conviction records, then when I checked the NY Dept. Motor Vehicle website it says that they do share info with Quebec and Ontario, that was funny to me because they don't share with any other State. Try to understand why...

If I can find my ELise brochure I will be able to tell you... Dammit!!!

Hi folks!
I went approx. 180-190 km/h in my first car ever, a SAAB 900 EMS '80. Hard to say how fast I was going, the speedo showed 200 km/h but then you have to calculate with the fact that almost every car shows higher speed than you are really travelling in. Im my rescent car, a Citroën BX 19 GTi '90 I haven't tried yet to run it all the way, but 170 on the speedo is no problem, steady as a rock and almost 1000 revs left to the redline. Mighty fun car to drive, but it's funnier to drive on a twisty road instead of going in a straigt line.

Best regards from Sweden
Niclas

I hit over 220km/h in my 1982 standard datsun 280zx. The old 3 speed limited me to about there. Now however i have just put in a 320 hp with a 5 speed. So ill have to let you know on the new top speed. :)

I am 17 and have gone 97mph in a montero sport on a windy day!

120 mph on a track in my firebird (my reaction: "I can go faster")
99 mph in my Tercel. (my reaction: holy hell, this thing will go that fast?!?")

this was in my old honda prelude DX. i did done 130mph on blue ridge in 4th and the car is a 5spd, i did 130 on the freeway add had the po-po chopper out scannin the freeway(they never fond out:D:D) and then right before i gave up the keys for my truck i did
