Fastest you've been!
Alright. Here is time to have a pissing contest, to see who has had the highest top speed.
Mine is 160, felt way too shaky and decided to back off. If I was alone in the car I woulda kept going but I realised 160 is a lil fast with a passenger... 
So lets hear it people!

Re: Fastest you've been!
I have had the mustang to 150 on a very late night on a very strait road with no other cars in sight. I have maxed the speedo on every car I have owned haha.

Re: Fastest you've been!

Re: Fastest you've been!
Trans Am has been to 130 with me driving. Not much sense going any faster.
Stock limiter is at 160. Top speed is over that by probably 20 MPH.

Re: Fastest you've been!
ive been up to 135 in my sentra according to the gauges...but i think that they might be wrong, took a long time to finally get fast 120 since i have no power in 4k rpms(well, not enough)..i think i could go faster easily with aerodynamics and get rid of the passenger

Re: Fastest you've been!
Getting rid of your passanger would not help your top speed. The basic things which determine your top speed are horsepower and aerodynamics, but they could be limited by electronics or gearing.

Re: Fastest you've been!
145mph...... Racing that C-6.... one very scary moment especially when all you see Corvette headlights NOT disappearing from the rear view

Re: Fastest you've been!
In the 79 Z28 i've been past 130, although i'm not sure exactly how far, i know it was a good minute after i passed 130 before i let off the throttle.

Re: Fastest you've been!
was going 135 racing the caddy sts, if i didnt feel the need to slow down i wouldve kept it going, im supposed to top out at 148 and i had plenty of room to get there.

I, thinking I'm idling at an AFR at 20 or something (its an AFR/Boost combo), ask what.

Re: Fastest you've been!
I've gone 146.
I suspect I will be going 175-185 mph relatively soon.
