How fast have you gone...not related to the other thread here.

[DEI37]

Just curious as to how fast you've gone...not as in OVER the limit, but the maximum overall speed you've obtained. For me, it's 211mph. I've been very fast in a few cars, and it's fun. Went 172mph in a Corvette, 135 or so in a Viper. The 211mph was in a purpose built pickup truck. It went like a bat, too. It made 997HP at the rear wheels, so figure about 1150 or so at the crank...maybe a little more. My next goal is 250mph or better, but finding a street legal vehicle that I can do that with is gonna be pretty tough! I'd love 300mph, but short of getting a Top Fuel ride, that probably won't happen.

130 or so in an old Corvette.

[Confederate]

105 in my F150

[castex]

165 in my Ferrari. I would have gone quicker today, but for the crosswinds.

[soccerchamp76]

100 mph in my 1988 BMW

[lucidity]

112 in my 2001 dodge stratus... had to try when i got it. first v6 i ever had

[Halx]

140 in my 94 Accord ... it was downhill!

[dylanmarsh]

106 MPH, 1978 Ford Thunderbird, I-17 just outside of Flagstaff

[ShaniFaye]

I went 98 when I got to drive my 1995 Beretta around Atlanta Motor Speedway for 2 laps......much as I love racing I dont know that I could do that, I was scared to death the whole time I was gonna ram my car into the wall

[DEI37]

That is sweet! After I get my car modified, I'll have to go down there, and try it out! What did it take to drive the two laps around the track? I like AMS, as it's a fast little track. I love racing and speed, so that would be right up my alley.

[neddy65]

140 in my 280z
150+ on gsxr600

[Peryn]

135ish, 1989 Mazda RX-7. Kept pulling but i decided without a Radar detector i probably shouldn't go too much faster.

[MSD]

116 in a Buick. It just doesn't go any faster than that.

[irseg]

125, '88 turbo Thunderbird. Had to calculate it based on the tach. Was still pulling nicely but it was at night and I began to fear for my license.

[majik_6]

Probably around a hundred, in my old pickup.

I'm not too much of a speed demon.

I've ridden in a Lazer doing 130+, but never driven that fast.

[BoomTruck]

Entirely too damn fast in an '86 F-350. It was off the end of the speedo, I do know that. I was in a hurry, and everyone for 2 miles knew it.

But, there aren't many things cooler than hearing a 460 vent it's battle cry.

[merkerguitars]

155 in a 92' Pontiac Bonneville....3.8 supercharged......scared the shit outta me when i tapped the brakes...

[wrongfullyaccuzd]

124 in my Camry!
I was "racing" an Eclipse that was fucking with me...it took me about 30 seconds of straight gas to get there.
But I beat him! Someone turned into his lane and he had to slow way the fuck down. It was fun.

[Cycler]

135 on the old ZRX 1100, man I miss my motorcycle.

[brandon11983]

120ish in a 99 Grand Am GT. Would have kept going, but I ran out of road. I've done this twice now, the first time I had Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and it felt really shaky at speed. Second time was on Z rated Yokohama AVS ES100's, and she was solid as a rock.

Back when they reconfigured the track several years ago (right before the fall race) they had an open house and if you bought 25 bucks worth of stuff in the gift shop you got two laps around the track with one other vehicle and the pace car.

I was one of the first two vehicles out (the other was a dodge p/u) After signing the release forms and explaining that the speed limit was 60 mph and that we had to keep up with the pace car but we couldnt pass it, they let me and the other guy out. It was funny I had spent weeks trying to decide what music I was going to listen to while doing it and I finally decided on AC/DC's Highway to Hell. Well we came off pit road (which at AMS comes out in turn one) and by the time I had come out of turn two the pace car and the truck were going into turn 3 and I looked down (very briefly mind you I was scared shitless hehehe) and saw I was already doing 90 and all my mind told me was that I was supposed to be keeping up with the pace car so I was accelerating when I went into turn 3 and then I decided I didnt really wanna die so I slowed it down some (yeah yeah, make fun of me, I'm a wussy chick ) needless to say they were both finished with both laps before I was and I had the track to myself, which was totally cool!!!! It took all I had not to go back and spend more money in the gift shop, but I didnt want to press my luck, between the banking and the walls at AMS it terrified me, but in a good way

Side note...while said tape (before I had a cd player in the car) was playing, I didnt hear one note of it

[powerclown]

130mph, 2003 Honda Accord

[tenchi069]

113mph, 1984 Buick Regal.

[harris Jeffer]

143 in a 1987 Porsche 911

[TM875]

245 (ish) in an ungoverned StockCar. An uncle of mine raced on the semi-pro circuit, and he let me try out his car. Of course, I made him take "The Plate" off. Unrestricted...that thing flew around the track.

Would never want to do that on the open road, though. Top speed I hit on the street was about 140 in my roadster.

[matt_mll]

140 in my 350z.... was still accellerating nicely when i shut it down.

[bobw]

135 on a motorcycle
likewise, 135 in a car

[phathom]

150 in my 92 passat

[madsenj37]

115 in my old Bimmer and 110 in RX-8. I got pulled over for doing 85 on my comming down from the 110 speed.

[floydthebarber]

just past 200KMH on my old KZ 750

[bellzboy]

103 in my MX-6 LS. Ran outta room, and the top speeds only 133ish anyway.

[whoizzy]

I have a heavily modified 1.8T Jetta, and I've hit 150 a few times on the speedomater.

[runawayfetus]

[LutherMac]

112 in my 84 Buick LeSabre.... I miss that car...

How much did it have left? I'm guessing another 10mph or so.

[Scorps]

I was going around 125 or so in the new Chevy SSR pickup...on a test drive

[pendragon1122]

I did about 135 in my 94 Mustang gt. My Grand prix wont let me go over 110 so that about it lately.

[bundy]

well, i just did some math... in a car, i've never been much over 100mph.

[maxhooters]

100 in a 90 shadow america
