Okay, everyone post what the fastest speed you've gone... or dared to do. :bloated:

i've gone 120mph chasing a 99 corvette.... on a city freeway...

Keep in mind that most of us here know how to count... since some people post like 170mph! Unless they're driving a nascar, i don't think the odometer goes up that high! :sun:

Cruisin' at 120mph in my 90' 626 GT Turbo, only reason i slowed down was that i ran outta road

I hate it when you run out of roads! :licker:

Love your mods on the 626, can you post some pics? I'd love to see em. I always liked the 626's

I will get some pics posted A.S.A.P , i got a few of my stereo, i need to get my friends digital camcorder and take some film at night then i will record it to my computer and cut out some stills. my underglo is coming this week for the second time i have been waiting forever so i hope it arrives with no flaws, the first set i ordered was broken i was pissed so i sent them back and sent for a new set. i posted the underglo on my mods list so i didnt have to update it. but i will definately get pics when i got it together

here are two pics of my stereo, close up and further away i will get new pics of my cd deck and everything else soon.............
-let me know if it doesnt load correctly

So far, 160ish. Speedo said 170 but our cars are 5-10mph optimistic.
91 Stealth RT/TT nowhere near stock. and our speedometers read to 180 mph.:smoker:

130 in my g on a slight downhill racing my friend in an accord.

no offense 626 dude but the 4000s suck. i woulda gotten 2 8000s instead. woulda sounded much better.

well to me and everyone thats heard them it sounds pretty damn good, it also depends on your box setup, ported or enclosed, also size and dimensions, you may not think it has alot to do with it but you would be suprised what you could get a semi decent speaker to sound like

copy and paste this link to check out my hompage for aol with some pics of my car if ya want, they were at night so they are kinda dark but they will do

140 in my g20

125 in the my '79 vette and around 150 in the ZR-1. My speedo tops out at 199:D

It gets pretty freaky at about 120mph... my friend who has a 99 vette thought it was freaky except for that the car feels rock solid at that speed, like it was on rails... and the only reason he slowed down was there was this cop who just suddenly appeared right beside him and the cop waved at him to slow down.... so he did... he he he.

That's what i call rock solid speed racer! :rolleyes:

157

i've hit 120 in my '94 probe gt on a small country backroad, would have gone faster but i saw head lights ahead of me.

ive gone 108 in my cav but then the damn governor kicks in,im gonna have to fix that, hey 626 dude stereo looks sweet my friends got a few of those 4000's in his trunk and they are loud as hell. forget those 8000's they are not all they are cracked up to be.

almost 240 km/h. I'm not sure how much mph that is.
It was racing on the motorway (with a bit of downhill help) against a Opel Kadett 2.0 litre 16v with digital instrumentation. As i was slowly gaining the lead by overtaking him i could read at his instrumentation that he was driving at 231 km/h.

My car was a highly modded Golf II.
Golf 1.9 litre 16 valve motor with Motorsport spec intake manifolds, exhaust system and pistons.
About 160 bhp output.
new Redline about 8.800 rpm.

That's a nice tuned Golf! Gots some pics for us? I'm really interested to see! What mods do you have on it/

ok. i'll try to rescue some pictures. i'm sure i have somewhere.
it's not my actual car so it may take some time for finding, scanning and uploading.

cya soon.

i've gone 140, that was pretty damn crazy

I got up to 110 mph in my car last week, and it's missing 5th gear!!! :eek: I normally drive waaaaaaay slower than that, though!

In my G20, I hit 130mph, then slowed down becasue my then stock suspension felt very, mushy. Then, one time I was with my Dad in his Porsche, we hit roughly 150mph traveling to Las Vegas. Anyone who knows Utah, knows what the roads are like between here and Vegas :D

Last time i was going from here to vegas i was thinking that i would give ANYTHING for a Ferrari right about now, its a freaking long drive but not if you're going 150!!!! that must have been awesome. the fastest i've ever driven was 105 in my friends passat, it was at like 10 PM going south on I-15 with quite a bit of traffic, then i saw this white bronco with blue on the side with what i thought were roof racks, but as i got closer it was a sherrif, so i slammed on the brakes and got back in traffic, he didn't catch me though. i was really stupid to be going that fast with that many cars on the road. the fastest i've ever been while in a car was 117 mph.

That would be sweet to hit 150 all the way there. That would take like 2 1/2 hours. :) He did that a little past Beaver.

The fastest I've gone is about 120 on an empty freeyway at night on my way to my apartment in my friends Mazda RX7

Beaver is a great place, we always go to their Wendy's when we go to St. George or Vegas, it runs in my mind that they have drag racing in beaver or some other automotive sporting.

Last night i took on a 94' Cougar 4.6L V8 automatic (RWD) in my 90' Mazda 626 2.2L 4-cyl. standard shift (FWD) The Cougar had a computer mod that improved the RPM curve (tires squaked in 2nd gear) I am running all stock except for my exhaust (see mod below) Well, we both had a hell of a start, squealing tires all around. First through third i wound out the gears, fourth gear came and im running at about 3,000 RPM and all of the sudden my turbo kicks in. I had a jump on him like you wouldnt belive, from there on i only gained he never had a chance to catch up, i think both of us were stunned, i didnt expect to win that one. My one friend and the kid i raced thought it may be close but none of us expected me to come out that far ahead. It was a great experience, the adrenaline rush was unreal. Another one of my friends has a 95 or 96 Firebird V6 standard shift and he has been wanting to race me cuz i always would tell him whats the point cuz i would win, i may just have to take on the challenge after tonights victory.

First of all i have gone 118 in my 87' celica. in the process of making it faster as we speek:sun:. As for the MTX issue. 8000's are the way to go if you have the money or a good hook up. Unfortunetly to make full use of the 8000's you need power. With only 4 ohms 8000 12's go from 23-150 mhz, where as the 4000's only go 29-150 mhz. Now those are just retail figures but they are + or - 2 to 3 ohms corect. As jet said already it is the incloser though. I have seen 2-12" 8000's powered outthe ass but sounded like crap.

i had two 8000's before i switched to my momo's the 800's are much better subs then the 4000's most people just dont have enough balls in there amp to push them like they need to be pushed i have a 1000d mtx amp which is roughly 1000 watts rms not peak and that was just about right for two 8000's but not many people have amps that big they have 500 watt amps and to much speaker and get pissed say the speakers suck and as far as amps if your pushing two big subs get a mono block more bang for the buck

So far with my new car i've gone 140 but i know for a fact that i can hit 147 or maybe 149 :) I was just hoping that a deer didn't pop out onto the interstate or a tire blow b/c that would have sucked !

How much was the amp? i am considering updateing my two puny RF 10's to two 8000's. heres the best part, My brother works at Circuit city so they can get things at acomadations (Buying directly from the company). Now normaly the 8000's are 250 each, i can get them for $52 each. I love mooching off of other people.

thats were i got my 1000d from directly from mtx i used to work for circuit cost me aournd 300 in think its normaly well over 800 bucks

rule # 1 If u buy MTX buy 7000 only 8000 are over rated, 6000 blow ass:flamer: :flamer:

Rule #2 I dont got anymore ohh well


ME reached 134mph
IN a 1997 Maxima
245hp
260hp


Minor mods
Str8t pipe ( u gotta get one if u dont got one)
aftermarket muffler yea its a twin 3" tip AEROSPEED
and no I dont like it need better quality!!!!
ram air intake( yep u can make it ur self if u can welk a heli ark..
and a lil cheater gas (108)

Haha, is this a car audio forum? :D

Anyways, most of us are pretty reckless drivers when we turn 16 (or whichever is the legal driving age in your area) and I was no exception. Like many of you, from 14-15 I itched to feel the need for speed and I couldn't wait till 16 to enjoy the thrill of high speed driving, so one night at a silent 3am, equipped with only a driver's (learner's) permit, I dared to venture out onto the public roads with my old man's '94 Camry (I know, not the most elegant thing, but at least it was a V6). Only having had about 3-4 hours of seat time behind the wheel in my life (all that time supervised by pops, as well), I thought to myself that I should make this trip worthwhile, so for the first time ever, I headed for the freeway onramp. The moment I entered the onramp, I forced the V6 to sing through all 4 automatic gears, all the way until the tach began to say 'enough'. The car was electronically goverened (like most P.O.S.'s out there) somewhere under the 140 mph mark, and I'm pretty sure I was doing 135, but could only glance at the speedometer intermittently, since I had my hands full trying to keep the car centered in the lane. But I knew I was somewhere between 133-137 mph since the engine topped out and the fuel cut-off kicked in. Man, do you ever notice how loud the rumble lane separators sound at around 120? "Bbrrraaaaappp" Of course, being the immature inexperienced moronic driver I was, I had trouble negotiating the slight curvatures of the freeway, and so I would wander from lane to lane.

After that, I pretty much calmed down from such needless wreckless driving, almost like an adolescent kid who finally got some from some chick for the first time. I guess it all worked out OK, considering that my own cars have been inline fours up until now, and there's no way normal four bangers could ever hit that area.

Morpheus, what do you mean a normal four banger could never do that speed, my rice burner would hit 140 easily, its a 2.2L Turbo, all stock. I have never tried to wind it out totally on the highway because my first experience going about 110mph got me pulled over by a State Trooper. Ive had it to 120 on back roads but I wont dare to push it on the highway again.

120mph (200 kph) in both a 91 nissan stanza and a 78 vette with the T-top open.
Fastest quarter, too slow, cant drive alone yet.

You say your camry has a limiter, than it would probably be at 112mph, not 130+. Those would be V-rated rubber, and I dont think a Camry ever came with that. Anyone wanna back me up??

Why would anyone lie about something like that?:confused: I see your point though...

Ahh, but you see, you've answered your own question. Perhaps I should have been a little clearer. "Normal" was the key word, and by this I was describing your average joe under 2.0L naturally aspirated boring economotors (these are the engines that have powered my own cars in the past and I can't break 120). But yeah, a 2.2L turbo could totally rape 140 mph without breaking a sweat, and I'm not just saying it either, since I was sitting shotgun in a lightly modified Eagle Talon TSi-AWD once, and we were running fairly even with an M3 on the highway. Too bad M3s are electronically limited too; it would have been wonderful to see it waste us.

Nope. You spurred my curiosity on whether or not I really did go that fast, so I went to the local library (couldn't find crap about Camry V6 top speed specs online) and browsed through old car rags and most say around 135 mph electronically limited. As for tire rating, :shrug: I don't know much about that car since it was never mine, but the next time I see a '94 V6 LE Camry with factory tires, I will besure to check. :)

Hmmmm... Interesting. I will have to check sometime also.

did 120

CBR 600F3 though!! WOOZAH!! you think going ripshit fast on 4 wheels is crazy, try it on two!!:flash: :smoker2: :cool::eek:

Yeah, 2 wheels are better than 4--wheelstanding in a car, that is. ;)

I did 110 on I-5 in Washington on my bone stock 93 G20 but then wanted to slow down cuz I didnt want to get pulled over, and I am only 16! Ha! :smoka:

The fastest ive ever hit was 230kph racing a 911 (latest generation) coming back from toronto in 3:30 am....I was in my dads 2000 S500...

he must have killed you....

911 vs. s500 what are you thinking?

granted the S is no rocket....but its not THAT slow either.....
and at that speed, its just whos willin to push it that extra bit....I was. He wasnt and dropped out.....so no he didnt "kill me" (it would be different if it was at a street light or something) and I didnt mean to race him....I was just driving by him and passed him and he i guess didnt like that....so he came up beside me and gave me the "ya wanna go" look...And then we just went.....

the S500 isn't slow at all just, compared to the 911...

so the guy challenged you and he dropped out.... what a loser :)

Yeah, that happens a lot when it comes to top speed. Who's got the cast iron balls right?

What kind of poseur drives a 996 and chickens out in a top speed stand off? I swear... too many rich fakers out there without a sense of thought for what the Porsche emblem stands for.

That is so true... those things handle like they're on rails even at high-speed... gotta love it!

i've pushed my dads s-type to 230, thats as brave as i was, i've gotten my 2001 Yukon Denali to 170 km/h

120 in my stock P11 GT:cool:

i've maxed out the speedometer at 145, needle resting on the other side.....car was screaming and hung rock solid....oh the beauty of awesome suspension!

Damn rich poseurs!:mad:

where do you live in waterloo? you might live close to me

i've had my 89lude si up to 136, which is pretty much the limit by gears... redline is 6800, and the gearing for 130 is 6500rpm... do the math... this was from some old fucker in a taurus sho that got pissed at me cuz i pulled the 100mph fly by, so he tried catchin me, but he let off at 120... and i kept goin... hehehe

the other car worth noting is my mom's then new villager, which i drove when i was sixteen... had it up to 120, and the bitch was solid... granted, it is a maxima w/ a van on it... so it handles awesome, but it was really solid...

I've driven plenty of cars fast but the fastest was 145mph in an old Jenson Intercepter, took awhile to get there cos the thing must have weighed like 2 ton :eek:. solid car, big ass engine and the fuel gauge went like a rev counter :( , at best the thing did like 8 miles to the gallon and thats when they were new. Car i have now is a stock UK Spec Mazda 626 2.0L GXI. I asked Mazda the Bhp and they told me 138Bhp which is cool, a real sleeper. Last night did 124mph which upset the Merc E300 that lost his bottle at 115 ish No cops Thankgod:sun:

UK laws are bad for taking away your license for getting caught doing over 100 so i was lucky ( so why do i keep doing it :D )

I Lived in Germay for a few years. NO SPEED LIMITS :D:smoker2: :D but thats another story.

Well I am a young fucker in a taurus sho, and I wouldn't have let off. Where are you from, I have raced a little honda on the freeway once, but it must not have been you, because he let off at about 115. I kept going to see what the taurus could do- got up to about 141-3. Didn't feel like I was going over 50mph.

Hey Gang$star yeh you must be right E320 but to be honest i dont like Mercs that much and i couldnt read all the numbers specially when they was in my rear view mirror:sun:


And by the way dosent FORD stand for F***ing 'Orrible Rusty Dustbin??

:p It was a joke so dont get all protective and shit lol

Got my Caprice up to around 180Km/h (I'm just guessing here.). Now don't laugh because the speedometer only goes up to 140Km/h, and the needle was completly buried. [I couldnt even see it at all :D ] It made me feel like I was flying cause of burying the needle, but the car did pull for quite a while, and i know the 305ci 5.0L will do about 160Km/h, (limited I think) and mine is a 350ci 5.7L with the limiter removed, so im just guessing. I was gonna get a friend to come beside me in there car but most of my other friends wouldnt be able to hang with me with there slow-ass trucks and lower geared cars.

I can remember the days of fun when it used to be me and my best friend in my old Mazda 323 1.6L going down a really long, sloping hill on the highway with a tailwind and me flooring it, and the car just screaming, it was shaking lots and we were barely doing over 140Km/h. Its no wonder that car bagged out :smoka:

There are old(er) merc's that are 300. I have seen them parked, so I'm sure they exist.

Jensons are monsters! Didnt they have American V8's?? And you british people are really under-powered. Sorry, its true. Here 138hp would get you laughed at. But you do handle better and are generally more fun to drive.


Oh, I might be getting an 88 Prelude. Its a long story, but if I do get it, it will be totally free! We'll see.

Fastest I've driven is 140kph, not bad considering I'm 15 (no license).

Yeh I know what u mean most of our cars are under powered compared to US versions, They do handle alot better cos we have these things called bends and corners on our roads :p (lol) They have to be driven hard to be real fun, normally 5000 revs and above.
I got to drive a Dodge Dakota 4x4 Sport V8 Magnum, while i was in Canada for awhile, 240Bhp i think. Put it in 2wd and floored it :D o what fun!!!:sun: Nice Truck, cheap price, but about $2000 to import it to UK:( And the price of fuel over here is way too high:confused: Bloody Tax:confused: but still the Dakota did 110mph and was alot more stable than a Land rover Discovery or Mitsu Shogun.
Wish i could try a Hemi:devil: That really would lose me my licence.

yeah that's why i said, unless it's an older one

Hemi.. um, yes. 425hp (closer to 500 though, they were under-rated). 0-60 in the 5's (bad tires), a quarter in the low 13's (again, tires). Very nice:)

But European cars are also more involving to drive. If you ever try to steer a Pontiac Grand Am, it will steer, but you have no idea what the wheels are doing! And that sucks:( I prefer the steering on an 87 Nissan King Cab with the 4-pot. It may handle worth poop, but you can tell that the front wheels are slipping, and what the road is like, etc, etc.

First off, I'm impressed, some of you are frickin' ballsy mofo's. 160 mph?!?! That's crazy!! The fastest I've been is 135 mph in my Teg back when I had my JRSC installed. I was racing a cypress green Teg, that I assume must have had some serious mods, because there I was going 135 on a downhill, and even though I was still increasing speed, he was still pulling away from me (slowly, but nevertheless he was pulling away), and I decided enough is enough and eased off. I was scared shitless because cars in the lane next to me were going like 65 to 70. I was shaking for a moment or two after that. I plan to top 135 mph once I get my new engine and rebuilt SC installed.

OH SHIT!! :eek: Please, tell us that story!!

coming home from the ferry i was just cookin along at about 11pm (close to the highway) i was just gettin back from P.E.I....(an island in canada)... it was starting to get late so i tramped her down trying to make it home quicker and by the time i was doin 130 he had already seen me so i thought ohh F*** im done for ......when i was pulled over all he asked was the reason why i was goin so fast ,i told him i was only 16 and i needed to get home before 12 so i don't get a fine ... he just laughed and let me off with a warning... i geuss it was because there was no one on the road at the time..

:eek2: Oh my lord... man did you get off easy. I mean that's just way beyond "luck" in the classic sense.
That's just unbelievable. Right on dude!! :ylsuper

Good for you, and thanks for sharing the story. If I ever get nabbed going that fast, I hope for some of that same good fortune. 'Course at age 24, here in Connecticut.. fat chance.... :help:

yeha i was really lucky compared to my friend who got nailed a cop doin only 10mp/h over the limit... poor bastard:devil:

is that 130mph or 130km/h??? since you live in Canada, i was thinkin maybe you mean 130km/h
130km/h isn't very fast... that's only like 75-80mph (guess)

When you got pulled over, did he ask to see your license??

Lucky Basterd. I got pulled over doing 92 in a 65 and all the cop asked was to see my license and registration, and the thing he gave me was in the shape of a tick it.

130km/h isn't very fast... that's only like 75-80mph (guess) i was goin miles ... since most of the people on here are american i thought i would just put in miles to make it easier.

353 km/h in a Dodge Viper RT-10. Only reason I didn not top it out, was b/c there was a curve in the freeway!!!

Whoa whoa whoa, 353 km/hour? That's 219.3 miles/hour. That can't be right, especially if that wasn't quite "topped out." Motor Trend has tested the top speed of the Viper GTS, and has arrived at figures like 188 mph and 192 mph. And that's with the GTS coupe with a hard top (which should be faster than the RT/10 convertible).

Maybe this is what they warn you about, how your speedo may be inaccurate at high speeds. Hey, I'd like to believe that, but I simply can't. A Lingenfelter twin turbo C5 Corvette can barely reach speeds like that (I believe the recorded top speed was 225 mph). It's not a Hennessy or otherwise modded Viper, is it?

It wasn't a Hennessy Viper, but it was modded. We do all our own work on it too - it's called shit loads of money he got and lots of free time. Notice, I never said it wasn't modded or it was. Next time, dont jump to soo many fucking conclusions until you got facts straight. Have you ever gone that fast before? Probably not, eh? Well, when you do let me know because you don't forget that feeling! SHITHEAD!!!

PS: I have seen countless Vipers do that speed that we hit. READ UP ON THEM!!!

Congrats. You just got this thread closed. I didn't criticize you, I stated my opinion non-offensively. No need to get all bent out of shape over it. I can see that I just hit a sore spot, but your reaction is definitely unjustified.

Keep up crap like that and you'll find yourself banned. Take it easy. We're all friends here.

Most of us are...however there are a-holes in every country. BTW the fastest I've gone is about 450mph. It didn't feel that fast, nice smooth stable ride. :D:D:D:D

i dunno about you guys but i smell bullshit
that's about 220mph

why would he freak out like that? JD didn't say anything wrong (in the what's the fastest you've gone thread)

well i guess it's possible.... but the chances are really slim, on a FREEWAY?! maybe on a track, i'd be closer to beleiving it

This smells like a flame. Flames go in Stress Release.

i'm not flaming, and i'm not stressed
i just wondered what you guys think..... his posts were posted in the street racing forum, and most people here saw him write that stuff so i thought i'd put the thread in here

I feel special now guys. Thanx!!! I got a whole thred devoted just to me!!! WOW!!! This shows you care!

Thnx, spy. :alien2:

what freeway were you on when you were going 220mph in a not topped out viper RT/10 in Canada?

Come to Vancouver Island. Learn all from us islanders!

i can't think of any highway/freeway that you would have enough time and room to do 220mph

it takes a long time to get to even 200mph
plus it sounds incredibly stupid to do 220mph in a public area, not on a track

also it would be really hard to get a Viper RT/10 to do 220mph..... that's only 20mph slower than the FASTEST street legal car in the world, Mclaren

Ok, whatever then. :flipa:

sorry man, it just doesn't sound true

if it is true than it's unbelievable!

why would you do something that dangerous on a public road?

I know of 3 other Vipers that can do these speeds. These are just people that I actually know. Look around. Ask around. Don't look on the surface, look beneath everything to see all the REAL cars. And, if you knew anything about the Island, you would know that the Freeway is practically a drag strip, it just has a few slight turns in it that NO car could do over 300 in. :devil:

i agree with you gang$tarr, 220mph is fucking unreal for a freeway. i highly doubt that this is true.

almost every highway/freeway is basically straight for most of it.... but there are so many cars and other things that make it tough

i'm not flaming you or saying that it's impossible... it's just hard to believe

and why isn't anybody posting on this thread, i started it for opinions damn it!! (thanks for replying shrub :) )

Hmmm, if I remember right, this all seems like a nice little flame war we had in the Cars we drive forum. :rolleyes:


Which, still has not been proven :right:

220:eek: if its true, you've got more balls than me....your freeways up there are narrow and don't have much of a median...

do y'all remember that guy who got a $375 USD ticket in texas for doing something like 205mph on the freeway. he was in a vette, by the way.

You mean this thread? (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6297&highlight=speeding+ticket)

yeah, thats the one

which freeways?

i don't know about B.C. but here where i live there are like 20 lane freeways (near Toronto) and have big concrete barriers for opposite directions. and they still have heavy traffic! :mad:

not in Toronto...I've got some relatives in Peterborough, and the freeways around there are like what I described.

yeah in Toronto! and even around where i live (an hour from T.O.) on the 401, and all the 400 series freeways that i use

i'm never on narrow, no median freeways... you must drive on the ghetto old ones :D :D
even on the ones out in the country, they have construction goin on putting that concrete barrier in

when was the last time you were down here?

oh wait, you mean the ones around peterborough are narrow, no barrier?
i'm never in peterborough so i don't know about the roads there... but around toronto and where i live they have wide highways, whenever my cousin comes down from NYC he tells me how our roads are better

no...I know the ones in Toronto are something like 8 lanes. I was saying those arent the ones I meant. just a missunderstanding. I guess they must be just the old country parts I'm thinking of, because I was up there over the summer

yeah the older roads away from any bigger city are pretty narrow...

when i said 20 lane, i meant both ways :D


how long of a drive is it to new orleans? from peterborough? I'm thinkin of goin for Mardi Gras :D :D

its about a three day drive....but it could be done in two. you could drop by my house, but I'll probably be in Colorado skiing

Whistler is better though :p

i can't beleive how small vancouvers population is and it looks like a bigger city... it's only like 250k more people than my city, and mines not considered very big in Ontario. Vancouver looks like it has atleast a million people but it only has like 700k
it's a really nice place though..... we got a chalet in whistler, so we can go down on vacations, we go once or twice a year and our house on whistler probably cost a couple times as much as our regular house :eek:
land value there is so much

where'd you go in Colorado? Ever been to Aspen, Vail, or Keystone...all very nice. I've never been to Whistler though, sounds nice

i don't think so... i think it was damn close though

fastest street legal car in the world is the Sledgehammer, unless your talking production cars

we're talkin production, doesn't have to be current production though

well, then the Bugatti 16/4 Veyron takes it. its at 252mph or something like that :)

i don't think the veyron is out yet.... i think mclaren still has the title

Well, I'm going to overturn my earlier post about gang$tarr starting a flame thread (sorry, g$ :) ), and at the same time, reopen the thread.

When this thread was closed, another thread was made specifically to persue the topic that was in question. At the time, I thought it was going to be a flame thread. I'm happy to say that I was wrong in that assumption, and I aplaud you AF members for getting back on topic.

Thanks. :D Now back to the topic...

There have been no real testing of the Koenigsegg's top speed its only theoretical, I dont think they'll ever make it up to the speeds they claim.

~190kph 1981 RA60 Celica - Toyota
(did it on the 1st day I bought it, never able to reach over 160kph after that:( )
~205kph 2000 VX Commodore - GM Holden
(State Government Vehicle:D I luv company cars:D)
~185kph 1997 ST205R Celica - Toyota
(during an interstate trip while my girlfriend was asleep;) , had to slow down when she started to wake:D )

In my car only about 135mph, had heaps of revs to go but I hit a weird cut out..?

I have been about 170mph in a 92 3000GT, with a few mods. Properly timed.

In a 94 R32 GTR close to 180mph, we were only going by revs though. So can't tell the actual speed.

In a 99 WRX Sti, around 150mph.

that would guzzle gas like crazy! LOL
you'd have to stop for gas so much... 8L V10... it would be gpm instead of mpg, goin that fast! :D

gallons per mile, lol

My speedo only goes to 140, but Ive been a good bit past that... :D

One thing to start off with I wanna know the mods SPY did too pull 220mph.. and in Canada witch road did he use to pull this off at!!!!!!
(Canadains 99% real 1% fake) You do the math........


In ref to Matri- What mods have you done to ur Maxima??? and yr?



Gangstarr-why did you halfta go and piss off
the Canadian? -jk-

P.S. Gangstarr let me know when you in Colorado this winter
Im down for some boarding!!! you???


Me top speed only 120 car cuts off
Need chip (BAD)
But in a Qt 15.00 flat and prety proud
since its my family car!!!!:licker: :bloated:

155 mph in a 1991 Toyota Supra turbo, 125mph in a 1991 Honda Prelude Si, and 130 in a 1998 Audi A4. All trips were performed on a desolate section of road and were double backed before running to make sure no cops were around. The Supra and Audi had a rev limiter (although both were running out of steam by that point anyway) and the prelude was redline limited. Al three felt rock-solid the entire time.

Stupid GANG$TARR with all his money:D J/K

And at 220mph, it is very possible to wipe out on a Canadian road. I wouldn't ever do it. I would go to a racetrack:)

yeah well first things first, i don't think it's possible for the guy to go that fast
then second yeah that would be REALLY stupid to do on a public road :)

Go to your ECU, on the Right side of the screw there is a pink/blue wire, cut it and put a switch on it. Turn the switch off, no more speed limiter, car runs fine. You may get a check engine light if you leave it off too long, just reset it. :D

MODs, what mods?

METRAI it looks like you got cold air intake? And I was just wondering if you have made any other mods or if im right about the cold air?


P.S. thanxs for the tip on
limiter:D :D :D :)

Let's see... The air comes in via a K&N filter through the Place Racing Cold air intake. Exhaust is fed through the Warspeed Racing Y-pipe and Stillen Exhaust. Shifts are sped up by the Transgo Shift kit, and 225/50/16 Kuhmo Ecsta Tires mounted on 16" 300zx rims help put the power to the ground, dampend by H&R springs, and controled with a Matrix Front strut tower bar and an Addco Rear sway bar. When you really REALLY need to get there in a hurry, an 80 shot of NOS is just two switches and a gas pedal away, with the extra fuel supplied by a 255lph Walbarro fuel pump, and watched by autometer fuel pressure and A/F ratio guages. I think that's it, but theres more coming later... :D

Your welcome on the limiter ;)

Probably around 155 MPH in my 1989 LeBaronGTC Turbo.

Fastest would be 240 km/h in a stock protege. If i'm not mistaken thats about 150 mph.

Passed 150 this weekend on US 27N at about 6am. Nice long stretch with nothing on the road but me.

i don't think a protege can go 150mph... cause a camry is limited to like 130 or something like that, and it's a better more powerful car than a protege

Originally posted by CAptynCrunch

okay i just checked it out on the mazda.com website... it's impossible that you did 240km/h in a protege

The SE models (103hp) top speed is: 178km/h (manual) and 165 (automatic)
The LX/ES models (130hp) top speed is: 195km/h (manual) and 176km/h (automatic)

That's the 2002 models specs
how'd you see 240km/h?!?!? :confused:

hmmmm 37mph in a 1971 Super BUG or Beettle!!!
118 1998 Dodge Dakota-boy i miss that truck
120 so far in my 1997 Nissan Maxima:sun: :eek: :alien2:

That is a good question.

The fastest I have hit in any of my cars was my LeBaron. How fast? Well the is the problem. I had the speedometer needle wrap back around to 35MPH. The speedometer on that car stops at 125MPH, and when I het 35 on the other side I was at about 5200 RPMs. My guess would be 155 maybe a little more. I would need a radar gun to find out.

POLY WHAT DID U DO TO UR CAR??? I KNOW THAT STOCK THE DONT GO THAT FAST!!!:confused: :confused: :confused:

It is mostly stock, the thing is it has a nice large and very healthy intercooled turbo in it that stock puts out about 13 pounds. Then I chipped it and now I had it pushing 20-21 pounds. The intake has been replaced as well as the exaust. Sometimes I run 120 octane in it as well. But that night I wasn't. I wouldn't want to push it that fast with 120 in it.

How'd i do 150 in a stock protege? simple, it's a 1991 Protege GT. It's the street version of the protege used in the WRC, or at least the american version, the japanese one had a turbo. So this protege, with the backseats and everything else that wasn't bolted down taken out and two people in the car weighs about 2000lbs. It has about 170 HP. When my cousin got it it was stock(still is actually) and it already has about an 11:1 Weight to power ratio.(a porche has one of like 9.4:1).

So thats how you do 150 in a stock protege. :sun:

Nice protege! Hwo much would one of those cost??

How much for that protege? well my cousin bought it about 4 months ago. When he got it it had a bit of body rust and the such.(it's to be exspected on a car tahts 10 years old and is in Newfoundland, quite possibly the worst place to have a car in North America.) He figuires about $1500 and it will be showroom quality(new paint job, rust removal and new seals for the windows, doors, sunroof etc...).

As for how much did it cost him to buy? $2,450 Canadian :)

It's a 1.8L DOHC NON-Turbo engine and it produces about 170HP and weighs about 2000lbs. Once it's done with a turbo, engine bore, and the engine redun with all full GT class titanium parts it should be quite a bit faster :)

You can actually get a GT version of the new 2002's but they don't have the same kind of power. It's jsut the standard 130-HP LE engine, but with nice rims and a different trim package.

Only $1500 canadian? I would guess closer to $4000 for a quality paint job, rust removal, and weatherstrips, unless he does all of that himself, then it might be closer to $2000

i think you got the wrong thread man... this is for "what's the fastest you've gone"
not sound.. for sound go to cars in general, than there should be some audio forums in there

Well, i don't know, maybe it's cheaper here because people have to do it so much, or maybe they just don't do as good a job or something, but the rust removal he's doing himself. Actually we're doing it. Just as soon as their knew house is finished being built we're just gonna stick the car in his dads knew 50'X75' garage for a month or so and sand off every bit of rust we can find, inside and out. Then if my uncle will be kind enough to help us, we're dismantling the engine and doing a full overhaul.

The cars actually in pretty damn good condition for it's age and where we live.

Are there any owners clubs?? I will have to look into this, as that much fun for that little money is AWESOME!!:D

To tell you the truth, the cars a complete mystery to us. He bought it from a private seller and he didn't really tell him anything about the car. We snuck into a truck way station to find the weight ourselves. We took it out to the local Mazda dealer and we asked them if they had any catalouges or service manuels for a 91 protege GT and the guy laughed at us and said that they don't exist. Then we pulled open the drapes and showed it too him and his jaw almost hit the floor :)

One of their mechanics is into imports andthings and he said taht it must be the american version of the GT-X which was the japanese, turbo version, but they weren't brought state-side.

If the new 2002 proteges and anything to go by, then the GT is just and upgrade package and didn't really cost that much more.

hello i am the owner of the 91 protege that my cousin formerly talked about. There seem to be a few people who dont have the facts here no offence intended. my car is one of the last of the japanese factory racing trend that plagued the WRC in the late 80's and early 90's where there were only a hand full of exact street versions of the WRC cars produced to allow the company to race their car in international rally competition. For the record my father (a former street racer) who has recently changed his views on japanese cars (for the better) has been tutoring me on the intricacies of engines. we found that my car also came stock (and i use the term loosely) with super high compression pistons , bronzed rings, forged pistons and a high performance header.
its exact compressin ratio is a mistery but we can tell that it is roughly 13-1 (the new 2001 celica GTS is exactly 11.5-1) now this in and of itself generates a fair bit of kick. My cousin was mistaken now dont laugh but the only place i can find decent information on my car is from gt2 yes in know inaccurate but it contains a car that is for all intents an purposes a car that is exactly the same as mine (at least exteriorly) in the mazda protege GTX a four wheel drive japanese version with a turbo engine and 176hp now from that and the fact that mine has higher compression i checked out the mazda turbo used on that model and its relative horsepower gain and determined that my car had roughly 160HP (My cousin over guestimated at 170,sorry) it has a full rally suspension that holds firm at 140mph yes that is correct it has done that speed cheked for accuracy by my friend at college that has a gps speedo in his 96 talon tsi awd that CAN'T overtake me in the flatout (but it can kill me off the line). I used the weight scale at my local recycling depot, as we all do in St. Johns, says that it weights in at +or - 10 1979 pounds with a full tank of gas and us in it this equates out to 11.5 to 1 power ratio with us in it or a 10 to 1 with it empty (not much use without a driver) I have nothing against american cars (in fact im a true vette lover) but i have been able to bag everything up to a camaro Z28 or a 4.3 GT Mustang (my friends and not off the line , he kills me there) any way i just figured i mention the specifics of my car so as not to affend anyone or confuse. if anyone has any info that i haven't listed on my caar please help me out thanks for the site to post this on.:bloated:

That is really light, I have gotta look hard for one of those!

got 130mph out of my British spec Escort RS Turbo and about 120mph out of the mk1 fester you see below.

that japanese spec protege's turbo must not be very good.... that's not a big gain at all. If yours with no turbo is only 16hp less, the higher compression can't give you tooooo much more horsepower...
I guess that turbo must be very small :)

Did 155 mph on that same CBR600 F3 Sunday. My GOD i was aobut to shit my pants!! You cannot imagine what its like! The engine was pretty much redlined in sixth, but i couldnt hear it scream cause the freaking wind was so loud, even through the helmet! and it was sooo....fucking....COLD! But my god, That was sooo crazy, i can't believe i did 155 miles an hour on a motorcycle!!

I am not gonna forget this soon.

I want a crotch rocket.... they look like soo much fun :)

me too....maybe a Ducatti :)

Lets just say that Mazda really neutured the turbo'd cars. With 1500 bucks, 200hp is yours:)

I took my '94 Porsche 911 Turbo to 181 mph racing a '98 Corvette, I hit a small bump and the front end felt really light!. :) I haven't been over 150mph in any car since though.

I guess you probably beat the vette, right?

welcome to AF:)

I probably should of told the whole story originally, well here it is:

I has entering I75 at 4:00am heading North from Square Lake road and going about 75-80mph when I see the corvette coming up behind me fast, probably about 110mph. I drop the car into fourth and get on it hard, I am not sure if he accelarated harder at the time but he never got by me. He did get next to me before my car started pulling on him, In about 1 min I couldn't see him behind me anymore. About another minute later I hit a cement strip on the expressway, which normally wouldn't be a big deal but I felt the suspension go up, but didn't feel it come down! I looked down and saw I was going a little above 180mph on the speedometer, I imediately let off the gas and slowed down to about 75mph and got over into the right lane. In about 30 seconds the corvette flys by me probably about 150mph. I am not even sure he saw me as he went by.

I fly planes quite a bit and the only way I can explain the feeling I felt was when you first start to rotate on take off you pull back on the yoke and the air under the wings takes the weight off of the suspension and then after gaining a few more knots you pull back a little more and takeoff. I feel pretty sure I was real close to taking off and since then I haven't been over 150mph in any of my cars.

I want a Hayabusa!! those are crazy, they perform better than a mclaren. 0-60mph in high 2 seconds and 1/4 mile just under 10 seconds... STOCK :eek: :eek: :eek:

themarsman: got any pictures of your porsche, sounds like an amazing machine :D :D

Those bikes are bad ass. I don't think they cost very much either. What is their top speed? I bet it is something crazy like 200 mph.

Holy shit, man, that's a killer story. I hope to acquire some stories like that in the future. 'Course the fastest my car could go, given enough horsepower, would be 160 mph, as that's where it would redline in 5th gear.

yeah they're so sick
top speed is 201mph

i think they're under 20k american, that's a hell of a lot less than a mclaren, lol :D
must be the scariest shit ever on bike!

I did 128 in fourth gear at 7100 RPM in South Carolina. About two minutes later I got a $50 ticket for doing 68 in a 60, talk about luck?

I think I have probably have the slowest speed for the fastest I've gone out of all the people that posted on this topic. The fastest I've done is 70 mph, but my car's speedometer only goes up to 110.

The fastest I have done is 90 in my Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. The speedo goes to 115.

driven: 150 (+/- 1 or 2 give or take) mph (speedo indicated) in '93 NSX on IH635 near DFW airport

I am really jealous of you. The F50 is my dream car.

here's the sound file of one of the times we went out: http://www.nextestdrive.net/sounds/F50_2lap.mp3

from my site. There's also some other cool F50 sounds you might like then:

^_^ I still haven't put the video up of just the ride but there is some footage of it in the Ferrari day videos in the Video page.

an F50?!? how do you get these rides? there is a guy on another thread who got a ride in a Mclaren! Geeze...:)

i think the Hayabussa's are about 12K

now that's a good price to pay to beat a mclaren :D

Who said they got a ride in a mclaren?

The best sportscar i've driven around in was a Lamborghini Diablo.... or the Ferrari 360 Modena, whichever one you guys like better :) I don't dare compare them, hehe :D

Sure, its possible to get thta much acceleration out of a bike. But I dont think anyone here could do it. They are very hard to ride that fast. But they really are a better value. I'm still going to stick to 4 wheels, though:)

I probably should of told the whole story originally, well here it is:

I has entering I75 at 4:00am heading North from Square Lake road and going about 75-80mph when I see the corvette coming up behind me fast, probably about 110mph. I drop the car into fourth and get on it hard, I am not sure if he accelarated harder at the time but he never got by me. He did get next to me before my car started pulling on him, In about 1 min I couldn't see him behind me anymore. About another minute later I hit a cement strip on the expressway, which normally wouldn't be a big deal but I felt the suspension go up, but didn't feel it come down! I looked down and saw I was going a little above 180mph on the speedometer, I imediately let off the gas and slowed down to about 75mph and got over into the right lane. In about 30 seconds the corvette flys by me probably about 150mph. I am not even sure he saw me as he went by.

I fly planes quite a bit and the only way I can explain the feeling I felt was when you first start to rotate on take off you pull back on the yoke and the air under the wings takes the weight off of the suspension and then after gaining a few more knots you pull back a little more and takeoff. I feel pretty sure I was real close to taking off and since then I haven't been over 150mph in any of my cars.

I don't know about anyone else, but I find this hard to believe.

1. A Protoge is not very aero dynamic and the spedo doesn't read up to 180.

2. Your car has a rev limiter so there is no way that you could go 180 because it would cut you off after 5500 RPMs or so. Unless you had that changed, in which your car would not be stock anyymore. Which by the way to go 180 at your HP rating you would have to be doing 9500 RPMs in which case your engine would explode.

3. 180 MPH is not enough to lift your car off the ground. That would take a hell of a lot more air than that to get it off the ground.

polygon, he has a '94 911 Turbo, not a Protege :rolleyes::)

oh, its Robert XR4x4 that got a ride in a McLaren. here (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&postid=94856#post94856) is the thread.

Do you even read before you post? Who said anything about a Protoge? I said I was driving a '94 Porsche 911 Turbo, I have sold the car and now own a '96 911 Twin Turbo along with a few others. So I guess the rest of you post doesn't make any sense either. Also if you don't believe 180mph isn't fast enough to cause a car to lift up, then you don't have a clue.

Holy shit, my bad. I could have sworn I saw Protoge in there. Man I am sorry bout' that.

Now a '94 Porsche 911 Turbo, that I can believe. And I stated that 180 MPH is not enough to lift a Protoge off the ground. But you weren't in a protoge. So it is pointless.

Sorry I didn't read that a little better, my fault.

Do you think I have too many cars? My wife sure thinks so! I am much better at buying them then selling them though. The Lexus is my wifes truck and the Hummer I keep up North at my cabin.

I am planning on selling the Bmw, Porsche, Westfield & Ferrari I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

My goodness, how do these people afford all of these cars.

I've hit 150 in my dad's beamer, however, in my car i've hit and maintained 120 or so racing a Jetta coming out of downtown cleveland :)

:smoker2: 130 in my 1998 honda accord...no mods except 17 inch rims...backed down cause i had 2 other scared people in the car

It was a Protege GT, with 160+ hp, and it went 150. Those are some nice cars, man. My advice: Get a WRX STi next;)

themarsman POST SOME PICTURES!! we wanna see all those nice cars :D :D

I have been meaning to take pictures of the cars for a while now, I guess this is a good excuse. I recently purchased a digital camera so I should have some pictures up shortly.

nice! i can't wait to see them :)

My speedometer only goes up to 125, but I got the needle to start bouncing around at 125 in my Neon. So I'm guessing I was doing about 130 on the highway.

I have 2 cars, an 82 Z28 305 auto that I hit like 130 in, and a 92 Nissan Sanza that I just recently hit 130 in as well

my spanish teacher has done over 200 in his 94 supra
here is the site the specs are 725hp with 150 shot nitrous
here is the site
http://www.mospeed.com/main.html
once you get there click on team mospeed at the top and click on members his name is joe galante
he knows the guy that owns the supra from fast and the furious which is pretty cool

Ive done 150 in my 74 vette speedo said 160 but i figured i was doing about 150. And you dont have balls of steel until you go that fast with a crapy suspension and almost bald tires on the front.

how does a teacher afford a Supra like that? :confused:

About 255 kph ( 150 mph) in '94 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.

It felt like about 80. Car was amazingly stable at that speed.

180 mph on a Yamaha Genisis 1000.:D Thats the fastest I have ever gotten but in a car I would say around 150 or so in my dads 92 Z28 but I can't be sure if that number is corect because the speedo only went up to 130 I believe but I had the needle buried way past that.

yeah Porsche cars are really stable at high speeds :)



lol, that guy with the supra doesn't look like a teacher..... what does he teach?

I've gone 125.......mind you that doesn't sound that fast. But it was on a narrow 2 lane dangerous interstate highway (all you California residents, I am talking about highway 46) and it was late at night......pretty fun stuff, but I don't know if I would try it again.:rolleyes:

That's my dream car right there, I saw one of those yesterday and I just about orgasmed (sp?) in my pants (too much info I know). What I'd do to get my hands on one of those......:flash:

M5s are fun to drive, they don't feel like they're as big a car as they are.... i love'em too :D

I'd take one in white :)

what do you think of the new M3s?

The fastest I have driven is at the clock limit in my old toyota corolla - 180km/h. I think thats 112MPH. Whoopee.:bandit:

Just thought I would share my best car experience in a BMW. The owner of the company I work for bought a BMW Z8 about 3 months ago! All's I have to say is HOLY $HIT! I begged him, and one day he let me drive it! And the same saying comes to mind HOLY $HIT!!! That was clearly the fastest car I have ever driven. It was crazy, the acceleration, the handling, the braking! in the words of Ferris Bueler, "That ride is choice, if you have the means, I highly suggest you pick one up!"

LAte

this is what I felt like, because the owner was sitting next to me in it

they feel quick

140mph in my Audi 80

I've hit 120 in my Escort on a very slight downhill on the highway with the stock engine no upgrades yet.... I usually crawl along that stretch at 100-110 on a very regular bases its a very slow highway with never any cops on it located by my house so theres no immediate danger....:finger:

new top speed!! 161mph...done at 1 am on I-12 from New Orleans to Memphis:) I went up there for thanksgiving, and was driving late one night so I figured, what the hell. Oh, by the way, street racer, I raced an M5 on a very twisty road in Memphis...we went about the same speed through the curves (I didn't know the road at all, so I wasn't really pushing it), but got by him on one of the straights. Also managed to find a Boxster, modded IS-300, and various assorted ricers. Overall, it was a pretty fun thanksgiving:D

vary vary close to 170 MPH

The fastest my car has done was vary vary close to 170 MPH we est due to the speedo toping out at 150. I didn't drive it my crazy ass friend did. We where at El Merage Dry lake bead doing the photo shoot for SCC Magazine and after we where done he took it for a Top Speed run in the pitch black of night. He drove about 1 mile turned around and followed his tracked back. It was crazy to watch he only took about 1/2 mile to get going that fast. Red Lined it in 5th at 8000 RPM no where to shift to..

I remember racing a ZR-1 just after I got my engine rebuilt. at 12 PSI and a Cam sprickets off a tooth 10 deg advanced out of wack I just bairly beat him by about 1/2 car lenth from 0 to about 90 MPH.
That was a fun street race. I thought I would get smoked.

Fastest i ever went was about 265km/hour, that's about 145mph in
my '82 Pontiac stock.

The only reason i stopped is cuz the road started to curve and i feared a slide.

M.

I cant tell u for sure cause my speedo doesn't go that high. It only goes to 85 :(. My guess though would be around 100-105. I need to find someone to pace with and to see what she can do in 4th at that speed, but my guess is gonna be nothing at all. damn drag of the 89 bodies :(.

I could have sworn I posted in this thread. Well, the fastest I've gone is about 140mph in one of the older Acura Legends. The big sedan ones. This was about a few years ago. 93-95 or more to be exact. I think those were the years. The car was brand new from this girl I was seeing. She let me drive it for the weekend and I was on the highway when I did this.

you should have kept going...they're geared pretty (so they can hit 185mph:) ), and they start to pull on most cars right around 80...they aren't that fast in the low end, doing high twelves to low thirteens in the 1/4, usually

i went 117 in my beretta down mcknight road at 6:35 in the morning on my way to school...the road is long and has no turns or anything people around here call it the autobahn.:grey:

137 uphill over a bridge

I have a 1991 Ford Taurus SHO+ with the limited edition fiberglass hood. I have a K&N airfiltration system, with the police grille for more airflow into the engine compartment, 73mm. MAF, 68mm. Throttle Body, Flowmaster exhuast, custom made y-pipe with hi-flo cat, 96 Brake Upgrade, Cross drilled rotors, Brembo brake pads, 9 psi. Vortech Supercharger, Superchip, Eibach lowering springs, Koni adjustable struts, custom made intercooler, Big Bore Butteryfly, and the SHO Shop's Power Package Stage IV for the engine. And I was going down I-95 and I got a custom made gauge set from www.speedhut.com and I made it go up too 200 mph. and on the gauge that I got made up I had my SHO up too 165 mph. But then traffic was coming up so I had to slow it down a little bit. But that's the fastes I've gone. So thats what a 476 bhp Taurus SHO+ goes :flipa:

are you sayin you want 200mph?

Nah I just put it up too 200 mostly for looks but I think its top end would be around 170-178 mph I am thinking.

Well sence the thread doesn't specify how many wheels the thing had to have I'll go ahead and throw my sportbike numbers up here.
194mph On my friends Suzuki GSXr 1300 Hyabusa
Aprox, I didn't have the digital readout of an R1 and I wasn't about to take my eyes off the road for too long, damn you suzuki.
Oh, and I will never go that fast agian on somthing with two wheels, no seat belt, it is the most frightning thing ever. Just the sound of the wind is un-nerving. It almost feals like the air is a viscous liquid that is forming a coccon around you. Now I've never seen this but word has it that when you go that fast on somthing that small, the Oxygen molicules that smack into your windscreen actualy leave a small vapor trail.

fastest ive ever been was 160 in a nissan 300zx... i gotta get a faster car tho.. my cavalier only goes 108 and is completely limited to that.. stand alone engine managment is worth more than the car...

A bit over 160 in my Z, 140+ in my Accord.

:mad: I just want to know if some one no where i can find some mtx thunder 7000 15, but at least two and i'm willing to pay just about any price for them, so can some one e-mail back at playboy_keva@yahoo.com

210 in my NX2000. That's kilometres ;)

Hey, you guys know offhand the top speed of a '71 superbird?

New Jersey turnpike 184MPH Cant find anyone who went faster except a bike maybe....

New speed record......for my Oldsmobile. 102 mph coming home from school today.

a stock MKIVs top speed is only like 150 or somethin like that

that's kinda hard to believe

My goodness. That would have been a massive rush.

that's kinda hard to believe ...I'm betting that's legit. Remember that the MKIV's were either all motor or twin turbo from the factory. A single turbo MKIV suggests to me that the twin turbos were swapped out for a single, bigger turbo for more boost. And these are serious drag racing machines (not that the TT's aren't as well)... in conclusion, 184 is quite high, but I buy it.

137 mph for 8 miles.

This was done at 184 at 21psi downpipe with no cat just muffler,The sound alone pullin up to 180 was intense and will never be done again,BUT running 11.8 it gets there fast real fast,sooo you big fast street cars quarter mile is better cause of seat belts and airbags but 180
they would have scraped me off many trees... Cool talking to you
guys.. im going out looking for a road kill..

Yup JE123, it was CRAZY!!!!! I donno if I can describe it looking down under my arm and seeing the road go past and knowing it was goin by at 194, and it was so close, and there was nothing between me and it. I'm not sure who was talkin about goin 150somthin on a CBR F3, but he's right, the wind is the craziest thing. If you stick your elbow out into it, it feals like a jet of water, it resists you and you have to force your way into it. You can hardly keep your elbow out without being afraid of throwing yourself off balance. And it makes the loudest screaming sound you've ever heard. The scary part is, the bike still had about 800rpm left to go. These bikes will bang 210.... Stock :eek: Oh yea, and thats for 13 thousand, about 13,500 OTD at my local bike shop.

Was this on a road or race track? Was your friend watching?

It was on a 3 mile long straight streach of Hwy70 at like 3 in the morning. My friend was behind me on my gixxer 750, I lost him around 175 :D I had another friend of mine ahead of me with a radar gun pretending to have a flat tire to keep traffic off the road too. I think he has some pics I'll see if he still has um.

A little over 170 mph with lots left.

The fastest i have taken my previous car was 153mph! Was traveling from NY to FL and somewhere in Gorgia i hit the open road with a 95 hatchback civic with moderate engine modification. B16 engine swap with 15psi of boost with the full block job (pistons, cams, springs, etc.)
Sold it and bought a S4.....

You find out about the pics.:D :D :D

my imprezas speedo goes to 120, and i know the top speed is gear limited at 140, so somewhere in there. the 1st time i went over 100 i was driving my moms taurus, bouncing off the speed limiter at 110 and came over what shoulda been a hill but i ramped it and fishtailed down it at 110 on this nice narrow 2 lane with no visibility of oncoming traffic over the hill. prob the scariest thing thats ever happened to me in a car.

it reads 150 in the dash, but i could only hit 140, cause a nasty curve popped up outa nowhere.........
:bloated:

In my little Ford I made it to 118 mph, at least that's what the speedo said.
I sat next to my boss when he made his BMW Alpina B12 go 180 mph.
It's funny. BMWs normally lock at 155 mph, but in the Alpina conversion a friendly female voice reminds you to press the button to change this.

Fastest Iv'e gone is 140 in my friends '93 Acura Legend coupe w/ the type 2 engine. 130 in my bone stock '76 nissan 280z and this one tops the cake. I was going down hill on hiway 380(in denton tx) my headlights weren't working so I had my brites on. I was racing my brother in my 86 gran prix. I turned my brites off to show courtesy to a car that was coming. my brother slowed down. Turns out he was a cop that i passed. Clocked me at 94 in a 60, and i was still accelerating. It was about 2 miles before he caught me, I'd say i got up to 115 or so(pretty scary in that car). All i got was a ticket.

130 in my civic dx..
ive gone faster in my friends supra 24 psi..damn i my eyes got lodged in the back of my head:bloated:

yeah, what gonthrax said. I've been in a fast car before, but its not the same as a bike. its nuts, especailly when big easy turns come up, leaning, even a bit at those speeds is scary. It's like the asphalt is beckoning you to have a touch...

and think of it this way - at 194 miles an hour, your going 132 FEET per SECOND!

I got 170 in my fiero
my fastest speeding ticket was 75 in a 30 that was under construction so the fine was doubled that set me back a grand

Little bit of an update for me. I just hit the 110 mark in my Oldsmobile. Oh Yeah, Go Me. Previous record was 102. Probably could have pushed it a little more, but was too scared.

101 in a '98 GMC Yukon....DAMN GOVERNOR!!

I estimate that I've gone about 140 in my nova, the speedo tops out at 120 and the needle had long since disappeared in the dash. I came up way too quick on a semi and passed it before I had a chance to hit the brakes, not that it mattered since they're pretty much non-functional at that speed. (4 wheel drums!) It was fun but not an experience that I'd like to repeat in that car.

I've hit the 110 mark in my supercharged Cougar XR-7 going down a side street, the car has been broken since I got it so I don't get a chance to drive it much, some idiot screwed it up putting a new battery in. All I know is that when you turn the key it gets power to the colloid(sp?) which is what you have to jump in order to start the car, anybody know what's the matter with it exactly? Thanks a lot...
