Thumbs up Vette' ZR1

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.

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

'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...
cheers
jay

240 Kmh

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

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

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.

I'm not sure about the USA, but in my country the M3 and 330i are governed to 155mph...
