i got a 125 in the 9-3 in a 55

supafly 12-23-2003 04:40 AM

230km/h in a 100km/h road. That's a difference of about 100 km/h wich is 81mp/h (1km = 1.6 mile, right?).

Atomic Pinkie 12-27-2003 04:17 AM

125+ in a fourbanger jetta

gotta love I40 going through texas, nothing but road.

ChickenNinja 12-27-2003 05:51 AM

My Jetta maxes out at 120... I've gotten it all the way there in 55-65 zones.

locoslomo 12-27-2003 08:32 AM

Ahh...the autobahn somewhere between Dresden and Nurnberg. MB S-Class, 153mph, downhill, into a corner, way too fast...Spent much time cruising ~110 - 125.

stinkynutz 12-29-2003 09:23 AM

110 in a '95 stock camaro v6, 60 mph speed limit. stupid thing just wouldn't go any faster.

also..not trying to brag. it was stupid. and i won't do it again: 95 mph in a 45 mph zone. got a ticket for exhibition of speed and almost ended up in jail. took the cop a while to catch up to me from where he initially spotted me.

GSRIDER 12-29-2003 10:43 AM

I used to catch shit cause my bike is an old 1977 suzuki 550.

so one day I'm on the highway and decided I was going to see just how fast I could getthis old machine.

I proudly broke the ton (100mph... don't ask me why it's called a ton).

But my bike was shaking so badly and sounded like it was in pain that once I hit the mark I let up.

I don't make it a practice but i just wanted to say that my old wreck did it successfully.

timalkin 12-30-2003 11:17 AM

I'd be too afraid that an animal would run out in front of me, especially on a bike. At those speeds, an animal would probably end up going through the front AND rear windshields.

Smoky 12-30-2003 12:06 PM

138 in a 55, lost my licence for 2 months on that one (he was nice, only wrote me up for 80 in a 55)

75 in a 25 (probably the dumbest one, driveways all down the street, could have killed somebody)

175 in a two seater Winston Cup car, I was a passenger loving every second of it.

Krycheck 12-30-2003 09:06 PM

110 in a 65

SVT01Cobra 12-30-2003 09:14 PM

135 in a 20 mph school zone.:eek:

Nah... I've gone about 135 on the freeway though.

Terminal Frost 12-31-2003 10:26 AM

I hit 120 MPH on the Garden State Parkway in NJ. I have a '92 BMW 325i and you really can't feel a difference from 70 to 100+. The ride is so stiff and it feels perfect at the high speeds. It was only at 3,900 RPMs at 120 and I would have loved to take it a lot further but I got scared because there are those "U-Turn" areas every so often on the parkway where the cops hide so I figured I'd wait to find a better road.

BigGov 01-01-2004 01:38 AM

65 in a 15 school zone.

105 in a 65 in my crappy Saturn

115 in a 65, '94 Jeep Grand Cherrokee

100 in a 45, '01 Mercury Mountainer

125 on a country road in a crappy mini-van my friend had.

146519 01-03-2004 04:22 PM

My speedo stops at 120 and I've hit the stop a few times.

kwIII 01-03-2004 11:23 PM

140+ in my maxima, speedo only reads to 140 but the needle will go past it

i_am_not_worthy 01-04-2004 01:14 AM

I did 225km/h (about 135mph) in a 100km/h zone in Sydney in my mx6 turbo. It was really fun and scary but really stupid! I went past a convoy of trucks at this speed and the likelihood of one of them pulling out in front of you to overtake the truck in front of them doing 1km/h slower is very high.

redneckdude 01-04-2004 02:11 PM

150 in a 55. County roads in Ok. where I'm from was driving a 1969 firebird. Man that thing would fly.

saltfish 01-04-2004 08:31 PM

115 in a 55 = 93 Chev Lumina Sedan
125 in a 65 = 93 Toyota Camry
139 in a 65 = 94 Ford Taurus SHO 3.2l (light mods)

140+ = Toyota Supra Twin Turbo
160+ = CBR 1100RR

--------------

75MPH on water = Cigarette Boat 3x500HP 503Ci V8's


I avoid speeding 20+ MPH in a speed zone up to 35-45mph, way too much risk of an accident in a populated area. If you're gonna be dumb enough to drive fast you need to keep it in a safe-ER area.

-PD

Scorps 01-05-2004 08:26 AM

Well I picked 25-40 because I'm talking Canadian speed.:p

gerg01 01-19-2004 11:36 PM

137 mph in a 65 mph in a 2000 Mercury Cougar

I'm one of them. I'm not sure about in the USA, but in NZ if you are caught doing 50kph (30mph)or more over the limit you immediately lose your license and get your car impounded and get fined (I think so, there's definately big impound fees at the least). You get a criminal record, most likely will lose your insurance, and have to appear in court. I'm too afraid of the consequences.

Silvy 01-20-2004 12:24 AM

I did just over 125 (200 Km/hr) once in a 75 (120Km/hr) zone...

I think that was the most I've ever gone over the limit...
I was pushing the car to it's limits. At the end I decided that the rated maximum speed (203 Km/hr) was about right... I then slowed to a leisurely 85...
At that point you realize just subjective 'speed' is.

Normally my limit is reached at 15mph above the official speedlimit.

Same here in the Netherlands (not sure about insurance though), but your license is in serious danger of being revoked for a couple of years...
That does not mean however that I don't have the urge to push past that :)
I only did it a handful of times though. There are not many situations around here that allow for it.

Death_alive 01-20-2004 09:21 AM

120mph - Hightway... in my Integra ...
The roar of the motor was like gentle music to my ear.
Only got the car 6months so much more fun to come :)

In the US, it depends on which state you're in. For California, you get in serious trouble (possible lost license and/or jail time) for going over 100 mph. In Pennsylvania, you can lose your license for going 25 mph over. Some states just have fines no matter how fast you go.

bookerV 01-20-2004 01:00 PM

195 km/h on an 80 km/h
200 km/h on a 100 km/h
130 km/h on a 50 km/h

for the mostpart i've smartened up a little bit and wont be doing that much anymore. i used to speed like a madman all over the place. but there is just too much that can go wrong and i've finally realized that i'm not invincible :p

Yea why?, not a v6 roar , so call it a purrr if you wanna.

mvassek 01-20-2004 06:48 PM

183 in a 55 in a 1966 Mercury Montclair, stock 410 wildcat with a 4 barrell carb.

Pulled over, should have just stayed in it but was 17 and got scared. Charged with speeding over 3 times legal limit, wreckless driving with excessive speed tacked to it., Lost license til 21, car impounded, my dad paid to have car returned (it was his in the first place), 10 days in jail, 200 hours of community service and $5120.00 in fines and 350 in court costs.

I would do it again in a minute 16 years later and I can remember the feeling in vivid detail.

yakimushi 01-20-2004 08:42 PM

100mph in my Geo Tracker, downhill in a 65mph zone.

It is a really steep hill on I-70 west on the west side of Dayton, OH.

My speedometer only goes to 85 but I had a friend pacing me in the other lane so he could tell me how fast I got to. That little four banger was screaming, I had it floored from the top of the hill but didn't hit 100 until I was almost at the bottom (over half a mile). I was already doing 80 at the top of the hill :D

The best was in my uncles '93 Mustang 5.0 (heavily modded for street drag, low 11 qtr mile, huge torque!), doing about 105mph in a 55mph.

kazoo 01-22-2004 10:38 AM

142 in a 55 zone. 1968 Charger, on I-95. The memory is clear because I got a warning after some serious talking. :suave:
After all these years, It's hard to believe I didn't go to jail. :D

mystix 01-23-2004 06:47 AM

change it a bit higher, you have yet to see my stupidity

zephog 01-23-2004 12:37 PM

what year grandam?? I'm curious... I had a 93 grand am GT and it topped out at like 115 or so... the speedometer went to 130... and I could only get it above 120 going downhill.. :rolleyes:

the newer ones that much faster? 10mph is alot on a naturally aspirated v-6

SAM821 01-23-2004 04:24 PM

I went 126 in a 55 on I95 in Miami in a 87 honda accord.... and about 30 seconds later, after i slowed down to 70, i totalled my car.... Damn bald tires... i thought they would hold up....

My new car... 97 civic hatchback... ive gone about 103 but ive been a little reluctant to go any faster... i guess bad memories...

neddy65 01-23-2004 05:38 PM

140 in a '76 280z( gotta ticket for that one~ not to mention my own personal roadblock) speed limit was 65mph

150 on a gsxr600 in a 40 zone~~at this speed the helmet was wearing me

MazdaspeedZOOM 01-23-2004 06:27 PM

145 in my 2000 Integra, it was modified of course, and that was damn cool. I've only gone 130 in my Mazdaspeed Protege.

Lestat 01-23-2004 09:58 PM

130+ in my 95' Acura Integra on the 15 fwy. I didn't realize how fast I was going until the car started wobbling a bit.
