What's the fastest you've gone?

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

in a freinds Honda.

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).
