After 500 responses to the last thread (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=11389), it was time to retire and start again with a new poll. Feel free to post up the fastest you've ever driven and the vehicle you did it in, along with voting in the poll.

Fastest I ever drove was about 136 - in a 1977 BMW 530i years ago. The car I have now is quicker, but, I've never had the opportunity to crank her up yet.

1996 - Montana.

I was driving my 1981 Cadillac Fleetwood on vacation. The week before, I had installed a 1969 Olds 455 V8, bored 60 over, with Crane cam, Holley 750 carb, Edelbrock intake, etc.

I had a built THM 400 trans and stock 2.54:1 rear end.... so it was geared really tall and loved to go fast. This thing seemed to just idle at 60 mph. At full throttle, it would do 55 mph in first gear, before shifting to second.

I turned about 130 mph, as measured by a stop watch and mile marker posts. I had lots of unused gas pedal and revs left, but I was not thrilled about going faster on an unfamiliar piece of Interstate.

THE FASTEST I'VE EVER GONE IS ABOUT 170ish IN MY DADS 72 ROADRUNER. MOST OF IT WAS FUN UNTIL IT STARTED SKATING.

ps: IT'S A 440 NOT A HEMI

MPH
