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

ive gone 120+

dont know the posted limit, perhaps 55

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.

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

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

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.

130 ish in my impala on 495 in delaware.

at one point in time i was commuting 45 miles to king of prussia for work. in the morning i could make the trip in about half an hour.

130 in a 35, totaled my WRX =/ No, not somthing I'm proud of. Call me a fucking idiot if you want. :)

165ish

142 in a 50 in my Alpina B3 3.3 E46. What can I say? The road was deserted.

162 mph top up (in a 45 mph zone) and 148 mph (in a 70 mph zone) top down in my 01 Cobra Vert (not stock)

116 in a 55 in the Buick, 104 in a 55 in the Town Car.

118...in a 55

I hit 145 in a 65 with about 700rpm's left before redline in my eclipse

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

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

=( 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.....

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

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.

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.

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

125 mph, limit was 55

you guys are fucking nuts to go that fast

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

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.

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

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

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


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

You'll love this...

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

In a 1992 Plymouth Voyager.

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

150+ in a 55 mph zone in a 280z

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.

155mph in a 55

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.

Autobahn... easily doing 140+

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.

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

C'mon... That doesn't count...

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

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?).

125+ in a fourbanger jetta

gotta love I40 going through texas, nothing but road.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

110 in a 65

135 in a 20 mph school zone.:eek:

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 :)

4 cylinders roar??? :p

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

150 mph suzuki 1200

167mph on a 65mph freeway...

102mph OVER the speed limit

I miss my Z28.. guess thats why I totalled it...

167 is where it's goverened.. and yes I hit the governor

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

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...

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

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

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.

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.

130 in a 535 beamer

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

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.

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.....

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.

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

105-110 in my F150

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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!
