Update: I hit 120 in 4th in my WRX today. I was duking it out with this jetta, and the SOB stayed right on my ass all the way from a stop till 120!!!! We started off just kinda cruising up till about 50(speed limit was 45), then i dropped a gear and punched it, he followed, and stayed right on my bumper till i cut off at 120.

130 MPH in Montana a few years ago in an old Cadillac Fleetwood (measured using a stopwatch and the mile marker posts). I had built the engine up so it had lots of torque, but still had the original tall axle ratio, (2:41). I had lots of revs and power let over, but I was not too fond of smacking a deer at that speed, so I did not go faster.

Re: The Fastest you've driven?

I have gone ~145-149. I was driving up I-95 from Camp Lejeune North Carolina to Baltimore MD. It is about a 400 mile drive that I did in 2 hours and 45 minutes. The ONLY reason i was driving so fast was that I was able to. Literally, there were maybe 10-15 cars we passed (me, a 3K GT VR4, Accord V6, and probe GT) the entire drive.

I did 295 around Richmond Va in 21 minutes (44 miles). It was such a great drive. I got home though, and was shaking so bad from adrenalin I just tossed the keys and did not drive for the rest of the day.

Not sure, around 145mph in my old Falcon sedan fitted with a worked 351 clevo,top loader and 3:1 nine inch.
The speedo stopped at 120mph but the clevo was good for another 1000rpm.

I've been up to 240 kms in my Z28. I think thats equivalent to 150miles. The speedometer reached its max there but the car kept increasing in speed so i'm not really sure exactly how fast i got up to, but i'd say just around 155-160 miles. I've actually done this a few times, those long empty roads to my house are just so damn tempting

Re: The Fastest you've driven?

dunno i did 132MPH on I-95 in Maine with my caddy catera, but i wasn't willing to keep it at that speed because i was a little over the redline (dunno why but my car doesn't limit revs/speed)

Yeepee! I'm going to germany on Sunday with my boss ans his car. I have till the german border to convert him to the thrill of speed (may be he is already, he's new so I don't know). I'll definitly have a go to beat my record previously posted.
I know there is some sections of the Autobahn which have speed limit, is it more toward the cities or is it randomly situated?

Re: The Fastest you've driven?

my best friend brandon had a ninja 660 with frickin ram air and nos on it and had other stuff done to it...i think a cam and crank...cold air intake maybe??? i cant remember...the dumbass let me borrow it when he went on vacation in Tenn with his folks lmao
got on I-65 right past hayden-corner exit on a long ass straitaway and when I hit 6th I cut on the nos with WOT...i got up to near full speed and just as i let off i looked at the speedo (registered 180) and that stick was tappin the bead... i had to be goin 185 or 190....the fastest and scardest i've ever been in my entire life!!!
sadly enough, brandon died last year... a week after he sold his bike he had a head on collision in his ranger..it flipped his truck and he flew 30 feet after he busted out of the back window...THAT IS WHAT STREET RACING, NO MATTER WHAT THE SPEED, WILL DO FOR YOU! the woman he hit and killed was 23 and had a 4 year old girl... She was goin 55, he was goin 80

Re: The Fastest you've driven?

90mph in a 35 zone...pretty good for a 16 year old in a cavalier, in an area crawling with cops, during rush hour...very scary and stupid
