How fast have you gone?
 
What is the fastest you have gone over the speed limit?
Highway/public road

Myself, 100 mph on highway (60 mph limit)
75mph on a 25 mph road

89transam 12-13-2003 06:58 PM

ive gone 120+

dont know the posted limit, perhaps 55

1337haxor 12-13-2003 07:48 PM

115mph, could have easily gone faster but my friends and I chickened out since the freeway started to curve.

I've gone 120 on the NJ Turnpike. I have no idea what the speed limit there is.

sixate 12-13-2003 10:06 PM

Drove a Vette a few years back. I hit 150 in a 65 zone... That was fun. :D

ducati999 12-13-2003 10:06 PM

135 on my bike.....125 in my car......ive never really pushed it that hard

Peryn 12-13-2003 10:36 PM

136+...actually took a picture of the speedo right before that. Still had 3k or more rpms to go too. Was pulling pretty hard, specially since i heard it rated at 137 top speed... Prolly a 65 limit...have no idea. Was out in the middle of nowhere on teh way back from Thunderhill. Oh yeah, was in a RX-7 'Vert.

X_cody_X 12-14-2003 07:18 PM

168 in a 45, middle of nowhere, "slightly modified" 99 vette

Cycler 12-14-2003 07:37 PM

135/140 on 99 ZRX 1100. I think the speed limit was 65.

munchini 12-14-2003 09:04 PM

=( i'm the only one so far who went <15mph over.. how do you guys get over the anxiety of a cop just around the corner??

go on roads where the cops are infrequent at worst, nonexistant at best.

do it on a bike...if you see em..drop a gear and haul ass no way in hell they will get you.....

Spyder_Venom 12-15-2003 06:43 AM

I'm not sure what speed I was going, the speedo stopped at 155... Posted was 55 or 65

Peryn 12-15-2003 08:23 AM

First off, i dont think i have been ever surprised at seeing a cop on the freeway. The more offensively i drive, the closer i look for them. And at those speeds, you can be garaunteed none will be coming up from behind you. Find a long straight road with few to no onramps. Then all you hafta do is watch the road ahead of you and make sure if you see the tailend of a crownvic, you slow down. You dont haft watch behing you, on the sides or anything....just dont run into him. Its really not that hard. But if you do get caught, expect super high fines and possibly jail time.

Cycler 12-15-2003 09:47 AM

Straight road, clear day, no crossing roads or streets for awhile. Push on the gas or twist the throttle and at that point I really cease to care. If I get caught so be it I made the choice to wring it out. Man I miss my bike.

brandon11983 12-15-2003 11:40 AM

125 in a 55 in a Grand Am GT. Would've kept climbing, but I ran out of road.

rsxguy 12-15-2003 11:51 AM

125 mph, limit was 55

BigDonkey2 12-15-2003 09:38 PM

you guys are fucking nuts to go that fast

Dilbert1234567 12-15-2003 11:54 PM

spedomiter only goes to 85 and i was well above that in a 55 zone, got pulled over and did not get a ticket

thanks to who ever that cop was

TheClarkster 12-16-2003 12:59 AM

I feel much better about my constantly driving 90-95 on the way home everyday. And that's only because the fast lane moves that fast down the hill. I guess there are too many cops out here to be able to go really fast.

ngobo 12-16-2003 01:41 AM

my fastest is about 120.. doesnt feel too safe after that.. actually.. it doesnt feel too safe after 90 :)

thadon 12-16-2003 10:09 AM

I normally cruise 90 in my truck on the highway. Was busted doing 86 in a 55 in Atlanta, that was an ugly ticket

On Road Atlanta I got up to 130mph in my supercharged 285 plus hp Ranger

Was cruising 115 on the hwy in my ex's Eclipse, the detector went off and I got it down to 82 before he locked the radar on me and it was a 65 zone

eotlemac 12-17-2003 05:03 AM

dude this one time while in the batmobile i did mach 3


but really like 120 in a jetta in a 65 mph zone

Memnoch 12-17-2003 01:03 PM

125 in a 55, 115 in a 35...

laconic1 12-17-2003 02:46 PM

95 in a 65, my car starts getting unstable if I go any faster.

cj2112 12-17-2003 03:17 PM

Drive the deserted road immediately beforehand and look. That's what we do around here. Cars at intervals with parking lights on means OK for the next 1/8th mile. Lights off means you're screwed and need to shut it down quick.

Used that method and went from a 50mph+ ticket in South Carolina to an 11mph ticket.

merkerguitars 12-18-2003 04:05 PM

155mph in a 55

Destrox 12-18-2003 08:32 PM

Easily gone over 40.

Only been caught once , was going 55 in a 25.
Luckily the cop was in a really great mood and i only got charged with a 140$ ticket.

Cynthetiq 12-18-2003 09:43 PM

Autobahn... easily doing 140+

Sion 12-19-2003 09:37 PM

my top speed ever attained was 130 (65 limit) in a 1988 Grand Prix. after about 5 mins at this speed, I decided I'd pushed my luck far enough and let off the gas, allowing gravity to slow me down. I was still doing 75ish when I passed the cop in the median between the east and west bound lanes of the highway I was on. fortunately, he must have been sleeping (it was 5 am after all) coz he didnt come after me.

havent been above 80 since then.

Snakebyt 12-20-2003 11:37 AM

i got clocked at 143 in a 55 once..it was in a 74 firebird that we built for drag racing, broke the 4.11 in the rear end and for kicks we put in some 2.72 in there while we waited for the new gears to come in... the speedo said 165 on it and i maxed it out
