137 in my old 1994 Volvo 940. It topped out around 130 but we went over a hill and I hit 137 going down it. Then I slammed on the breaks because I saw a cop and got a speeding ticket for 87 in a 65. Better than 137 in a 65 I guess.

tdoc 01-24-2004 09:32 AM

130 in a 535 beamer

timalkin 01-24-2004 11:05 AM

130mph in a police car on the interstate. Totally awesome.

lonster 01-26-2004 05:55 PM

Not sure about MpH but in Australia, in Kilometres per Hour just short of 300, rough calculations put that at about 185Mph. That was on a bike in a 100(kph) zone , roughly 60 Mph.
In a car it was more like 150Kph in a 100Kph zone which is about 95 Mph.

My friend had a '92 Grand Prix back in high school. I'm pretty sure that the GP and the GA ran with the same engine (3.2L V6). We were able to get it up to 122 on the PA turnpike, loaded down with luggage and a full tank of gas (this is with about 120k miles on it). Even going that fast, it still felt like it could put out some more speed, but we were coming up on other cars.


Maybe your MAS was reading too low...?

140 in an rx7 drunk at 4 AM. Fucking stupid. These days I never get over 65.

indiretto 02-01-2004 03:45 PM

150mph on my bike and 140mph in my car both in a 55 zone. I ran out of road.

I seriously regret going 137 in my volvo as well....when I think back at how I could do something so stupid, I cringe...all that could have happened is my tire go flat, a car pull out in front of me, a car change lanes in front of me, anything like that, and most likely I would have died. everytime I think back about it, I feel like a little kid that was naive and stupid.....

Vaultboy 02-01-2004 09:36 PM

125+ in a variety of cars, most notably my neighbour's Limited Edition '97 Opel Astra 2.0iE, which I could easily have pushed to 140 had I not needed to start braking for the impending stop street. Yep i did that in a 35 zone, in a suburb.

All of the other times I did it on rural roads and empty highways.

uk_enigma 02-02-2004 02:35 PM

145 on M4 in UK. been faster on track but not on public road

Confederate 02-02-2004 02:56 PM

105-110 in my F150

joshibahn 02-06-2004 08:15 AM

165+ in a friends NSX, about 3:30 in the morning....missed my exit, couldn't slow down soon enough.....

BoCo 02-06-2004 07:29 PM

I've done 120mph on the interstate where the limit was 70mph, and I also once did 90mph+ on a residential street with a 30mph limit--with my lights off, around midnight. Both were when I was 19 or 20.

spazaddict 02-07-2004 08:05 AM

I used to Drive very fast....I've been 180+mph on a track in a Lotus esprit. The fastest I've ever driven on a public road is 165mph. I've got a wife and kids to take of now so driving fast is one stupid thing I no longer do.

Stay safe, Chris

skier 02-07-2004 08:36 PM

How fast is 220Km/h is mph? And I think that poll shoulda had higher options

The Other Side 02-07-2004 11:24 PM

My fastest is 160 in a 55. Long straight empty road that goes for miles with no exits. Cops just dont care in this area either. It was in a friends Vette. I've also been 140 in a 45 on a CBR929RR. I had no idea those bikes could get up to speed that quick...but it was a fun ride. i still wish I had bought that bike.

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

drive that route constantly, from indy to columbus. i dont have the balls to do something like that, there are so many cops on I-70 and I-71.

i once went 85 in a 30, that was my most over the limit, as for fastest, ive gone about 105 in my toyota corolla heading on I-71 south from cleveland

Visiting the University of Dayton from St. Louis (taking I-70 for 360+ miles) I saw so many cops. There and back I was up to 28. Going through Indianapolis, I took I-465 around Indianapolis then back onto I-70, and on the small stretch of 40 miles (there/back) I saw about 15 of the cops.

tman17m 02-11-2004 01:37 PM

yea, indy is soo bad for cops, and the state route (37) that comes down from indy and goes to bloomington is awful. its only a 55 road but everybody goes 70, i drive it for about 50 miles and usually see 5 or 6 cops...those are the ones i see!...in indiana they have under cover cops in camaros....the only reason i know this is because i saw a semi get pulled over by a camaro...white camaro...no markings at all, the lights were inside on the dash...after that, i was like...yea ill stop speeding on this road now

Cordachine007 02-13-2004 01:31 AM

107 in a 55.....SATURN SC1 2 door Coupe....TOP END! I thought that I'd blown the engine when I hit the GOV...You have got to love those back county roads!

bundy 02-13-2004 07:23 PM

all this mph talk is confusing me.

i think i stupidly went about 120kph in a 60kph zone a few times...

and i did manage to hit 170kph in 100kph highway.

but thats about all i've done (and am willing to do)

i think that puts me in the 25-40 category (in mph)

DDDDave 02-14-2004 10:25 AM

235kph on the Auto Bahn from Garmisch to Munich.

But hey, "It's a rental"

phathom 02-15-2004 08:01 PM

For a while in my 92 VW Passat GL 4dr 2.0 constantly broke 140 racing 80s camaros and 90s toyotas hondas ect. on the freeway, that thing hauls for stock, smoked the hell out of a lot of jap imports and american cars off the light and on the freeway. Ended up getting a ticket for going 76 in a 55 when I was doing 100 right before I saw the cop and got it down thanks to braking and downshifting $175 ticket for that one, After that I don't push it past 70 anymore, especially since cops around here are dicks now and drive camaros so you know your not gonna out run em in a little 4 banger against a Police Interceptor Camaro, they got me in my mustang for an "improper turn" because I turned out from a narrow street to a main street wide because I didn't want to jump the curb. Still waiting for the court date on that one. Think it was something about the Mustang Camaro Rivalry, and I was on the losing end of the Ford Chevy Battle lol. Ah well, no more speeding for me for a while, driving like grandma now, cuz 3 tickets and your out here so whew.

BonneFan 02-15-2004 09:47 PM

140 mph or 235ish kph in my Aurora equipped with the Autobahn package...

V8 is great !

-z3r0- 02-15-2004 11:29 PM

Usually 25 - 40, only when late tho :P ;)

PDOUBLEOP 02-16-2004 05:39 AM

90 in a 35 zone(in 1st gear) 160 in a 55 (mph) on my two-wheeler. I got out of it before it killed me.

3zos 02-18-2004 09:17 AM

95 on a winding 35 road in a friends '02 M5, 140+ in my stock '98 Saab 9000 screwing with a ricer :P thing had too much torque for the poor guy on the incline (hit 127 by the top of the hill). Just last week 130 racing an A4, ran out of road. Then a truly lovely occurance this past monday night, 65 in a 35 and ticketed. i are the screwed, mayors court on monday :p

anyone have any advice for ways of getting out of points put on license? IE offer to pay fees/remedial driving school/community service? will do anything to keep my f'ing license at this point.

timbo 09-10-2004 11:01 PM

118 in a 55.. in a Plymouth Grand Voyager (downhill)

Rdr4evr 09-10-2004 11:07 PM

110 in a 65 is the fastest I've gone....because my pathetic car can not handle more than that. Im surprised my engine didn't explode. Once I get a Z though, its on.

albazeroex 09-10-2004 11:15 PM

120+ around 5500rpm in my accord

155+ cant remember the rpms it was in my friend's 04 sti wrx :D

both were on the freeway

roads i dont go very fast mostly 10+ over speed limit, because where i live and commute, the cops pratically live on the street :hmm:

pinion 09-11-2004 12:27 AM

Over 100 in a 25 on a bike - I don't recommend this :)
Seen 140ish on the highway a few times.
Pulled over once at 95 in a 65 and accelerating, the stop lasted less than two minutes and I was asked that I "try and keep my speed down" :D

Jackebear 09-11-2004 08:20 AM

When I was driving, 155 mph in a 55 zone in the middle of the night and when I was a passenger, 160 mph in a 55 zone again late a night and I was in the back seat shitting myself.

TheClarkster 09-11-2004 02:36 PM

Hmph, apparently my Tacoma doesn't go faster than 110.
But that was on flat land. That puts me at 45 mph over the speed limit. Fast enough for a 4 banger!

Willravel 09-11-2004 06:13 PM

'92 tempo - 113 mph
heavely modded '90 SHO (body kit, v8 conversion +)- 143 mph est.
'90 civic with b18 and turbo and much more - 132 mph
'94 Escort std. - 124 mph
all 65 limit
all scary, but fun as hell

Asuka{eve} 09-11-2004 07:07 PM

LOL 70 must be km/ph

I have done 120 in a 60 zone once....but I know where the cops hide...and thats without a scanner :thumbsup:

2sheds 09-12-2004 03:34 PM

135 (indicated) on a yamaha vmax. it was on loop 8 in houston, after a part had been completed, but before it was open so i had a brand new stretch of pavement all to myself.

exizldelfuego 09-12-2004 04:35 PM

Cruising 120 MPH in a 65MPH zone in my grandfather's '96 VandenPlas Jag. Gotta love those long, empty, New Mexican highways. There was an animal on the road at one point, a snake of some sort (probably rattle or bull) whipping around wickedly fast, or so it seemed from my vantage point.

Big Cholla 09-12-2004 04:35 PM

155 on a Harley modified for road racing on a 65 mph highway. Don't laugh. It was a long time ago and we had to check out the carburetion before the big race the next weekend.

liberator-44 09-15-2004 10:46 AM

125ish in my 911 and about 95 on my FXDX - both in a 60 MPH zone.

Pathetic isn't it?
