Fastest you've driven

[Zumina]

fly boys need not apply, how fast have you driven?

[FordPrefect]

In a car, 10 in a parking lot. On a go-kart or dirtbike, maybe 60-70.

[Havoc_online]

A tad over 150 when I was a senior in hs. stupid idiotic times. I drive like a granny now.

[OfficerGoat]

You know you are going too fast when the police dont even bother chasing you :D

[jayel579]

on a bike or a car?

ive gone about 120 in a car, on my bike over 140.

[Zumina]

160 on my a friend's R1. It had more in it, but I was scared as crap; I've seen what happens when a bike blows a tire at that speed.

[devildog]

i did 135 in a convertible, the front wheels started lifting off the ground :eek:

either, and planes don't count fly boys.

[OfficerGoat]

If you really want numbers...

156 (The speed gov in fbodys) in my girlfreinds convertable (With the top down)

178 on gps in my formula ... I was going for a 200mph run.. kept running out of road lol ... now that I have a long enough road here in nevada I don't have the car anymore. :mad:

I'll proboly be picking up a bike here in the next couple of months..... we will have to see then.

[PyRo]

Well one time in this racing game I went 220 :)
Stupid speed limiter :(

[FooTemps]

I'd be in 130 to 150 but I have no insurance yet so only 60 to 100... speed limit.

well my fastest in a plane is still only 184mph (160 kts) :(

In a car me driving, I made it hit 110 once (this is what I voted).

With someone else driving, I think it was almost 120.

[bunkermaster10]

Me driving probably 10 in parking lot also, hehe. With someone else 130. We drive to our nice field about that fast sometimes and get there in like 30mins when its like an hour drive usually.

[ZAust]

110. my beast of a car wont go any faster. :(

[Kevmaster]

112.... i hit just over 5000rpm in my V6 SUV....on the way to AOSE II

thats as fast as im gunna take her

[stondroopy]

160 on my gsxr on I-5 coming back from l.a.wouldnt go any faster then that only 600 cc :(

[phantomhitman]

little over 160 in the vette. me and a friend where seeing how fast it would go since the speedometer only reads 80 :rolleyes: . he was in a m5.

[Thordic]

Ive gone 110 in my Saturn when I had it. Thats as fast as it went. Havn't topped out the Mustang yet, when I do, we'll have to revise my answer :)

Fastest I've been going with someone else driving was 140 in my friends Prelude.

[Big'n slo]

145mph according to the police radar :(

160 is pretty damn fast on a bike considering if you crashed all that would be left of you is a bloody smear on the road.

I doubt your mustang has much more power than the saturn :)

[Thordic]

I'm gonna kill you, you stupid carnie :)

[PyRo]

Hey atleast I don't drive a 6cyl mustang, this is probably faster, and its a chick magnet :)

[Thordic]

Yet somehow my six cylinders have more power than your eight... good job camaro :)

[PyRo]

My 8cyl camaro has more power, its all in the torque :)

[GT]

140 to up, 130 top down racing a stang

[ShooterJM]

135 maxed out the car.

[Timmee]

When I did my own personal speed run, I hit D. I'm not trying to be funny, the speedometer only went to 85, and the needle ended up pointing to (D)rive on the dash (the car was a 1977 Olds Omega with a Chevy 305 and a column mounted shifter for the automatic tranny).

Hrm, doesn't the roof start to shake a bit at 140? Id be nervous about it getting busted or ripped off at those speeds.

[RRfireblade]

On a bike,an "Indicated" 205,which is probably not super accurate.

In a car,230 in a Slingshot(old skool front engine dragster).

Jay.

[Fred]

125-130 indicated...

the freeways in Oklahoma are fun, since its a straight line to the horizon with a blur of fields to either side.

I think my car coulda gone faster, by my tires aren't rated for it and were beginning to feel funny.

I made it from Austin Tx, to Kansas City in under 9 hours...

Average speed through OK was over 110... :eek: going 70 after that feels like you could get out and walk faster.

if the car is desgined correctly it wont. Infact you can drive a miata with the top down on the freeway, while raining, and not get wet.

[WickeDKlowN]

The speedometer stops at 140...

[WicKeD_WaYz]

the governor in my chevy only lets me get to 98. Anyone know how to take that off?


Ive been in the car for 165. nice 71 cuda, 496 engine

If it's a newer FI car, the speed limited is computer conrtolled. Only way around it is to reprogram the PROM.

[RoadDawg]

100 max (downhill) between Vegas and Baker, CA. I only have a Cavalier so I don't expect much more from it.

its a 98, cheyenne (truck)

[logamus]

i have driven a mustang gt to 125 and my passenger begged me to slow down. i went to a racing school and drove 157 but i dont count that as it was on a track. i voted 125.

[phantomhitman]

wicked wayz
you can very easily take that rev limiter off, that is what stops the engine from turning too many rpms. powertech or powerchip makes a drop in chip you can buy that takes this off and adds a bit of power also. they also sell stand alone programming devices that allow you to remove the limiter also as well as mess with more advanced things.

[Zumina]

it's not a rev limiter, unless you were approaching redline at 98. The speedo is computer controlled, and when it returns a designated reading, the computer cuts off fuel to the engine.

[mcveighr]

My 8cyl camaro has more power, its all in the torque

Then my 3/4 ton GMC 6.5L Diesel wins.

bout 100.

[hitech]

I don't really know. When I was a kid I did ALL of the 150 mph speedometer in my V8 Charger. But who knows how accurate it was. I don't even remember if it had the stock diameter tires. ;)

It did take both lanes on the freeway to make the turn. ;)

[71 LS6]

With me driving, 108 (stupid limiter).

With a friend driving, 115 (On the wrong side of the road)

With a cop driving, 136 (in the cop car).

With my dad driving, 140

[Cryer]

115 in my ranger

[Mateo]

My dad's old friend had a 71 Duster with a 426 HEMI, and we cruised I20 at about...160+?:D :) :D

[FreakBaller12]

hye wicked ways here's your answer
my dad was tellign me about this
they program the car computerly(word?) and that's how they cotnrol it, like soembody said earlier.
The only possible way is to get a number that woudl program it to be like a cop car, thus being illegal and hard to get.

[NJPaint]

I've personally driven 105 in my Lexus ES300 (not really mine, its my dads, but I drive my brothers and I to school, so I use it 20x as much as him).

While out in California I stayed with my dad's boss. He's a day trader and collects cars in his free time. On a track we reached 150 in his Modena and 190 in his McLaren F1. :D (this guy is crazy, he's 32, owns 16 cars, 2 houses (hamptons and SF heights) goes through 1.2 million a month (and makes enough to balance that) and guess what ladies... isn't married and doesn't have a girlfriend. (oh ya, and he is an ******* to be around when he is working, but outside of that he is pretty cool))

[gimp]

I've gone faster on my snow machine than I have in a car. It's still below 100 though :(

[mcveighr]

Chargers will go pretty fast, like until flames come out of the exhaust.

[JimmyDean]

Ive gone 80 before, sounds pretty slow, but its not bad considering im only 15 with my permit. Then my dad relized how fast i was goign and i got yelled at cuz the speed limit was like 50 or 60, but hey there was no one around so i didnt care.

[OfficerGoat]

Basicaly it looks like a V6 Firebird with a V8 under the hood instead. With the speed limiter removed they will go silly fast.

http://garindan.phpwebhosting.com/heaven1.jpg

There were a couple of times I found myself at the scrutiny of the CHP/Sheriff/Other law enforcement officials on the side of the road. No Tickets though suprizingly enough.

[RRfireblade]

UPDATE:

Well not really but this was cool anyway,raced a bright yellow Lamborghini Diablo VT last night,man those things are gorgeous!Takes me back to the old Countach days but much sweeter,always prefered them over most other exotics besides the McLaren.Very cool.

Oh yeah,the Blade ate him for lunch.....He He He.:D

We've been up and down though,yesterday was awesome all day but there's some cold moving in today and for the weekend.Nothing like up north thank god.;) I lived most my life in NYC,I've had ENUFF of that crap.

Jay.

[Zumina]

Cold is all I know. I grew up right outside of Boston, going to school in northern UT. It's -15 here right now.

[animal]

135 in my truck, but that's about it.

[tobz]

Car - 115
Snowmobile - 127 (still wasn't wide open, just ran out of lake)

[CasingBill]

135 in my 91 mustang gt(new back then) and just under 140 on the busa. Problem is both times were on back roads. We don't have long straightaways where I live.

[MrWallen]

Dude, how can you know that? Your speedometer only goes to 85!!!!!!!!

I went about 105 on the way back from NorCal vs SoCal, but this was in a '95 Mitsubishi Montero, not exactly racing material.

Me and ZAust were racing (before I went over 100) at like 90, and every time he caught up I'd use OD Off to speed ahead (OD=Overdrive=Ghetto NOS, but not really :D ) and then we just got going ridiculously fast (for our crappy cars) so I slowed down.

Man, you shouldn't be allowed to drive faster than your speedometer allows!

[JuggaloDave]

tach only goes to 120, but fuel cut off is 138, and i hit it. the neon gets wheel shakes at like 73, and my hands got real numb so i had to pull over for a bit lol. no wing on it eaither, and i could feel the back of the car gettng pushed around from wind, it was realy cool. not to bad for being stock at the time, especially being as it was still pulling just a tad. cant wait to get money for the mopar or the af/x race comp, no speed limiter.:D

does this make sense to anyone else??:confused:

[Creative Mayhem]

Both my Tempest and my Grand Am cut out at 150MPH, I would go faster if i could :D

[AssassN]

At the track about 130. On the street... about 140. :(

i dont drive yet, but i was with my brother, he had his ghetto *** pickup, and there was a 3 mile long strait at the edge of town so he decided to see what he could do, the spedometer only went up to 100, it went all the way around back to about 25, the mirror came off (crappy anyways) the truck was shaking, things were comming off. it was fun (he had ducttape holding it together)

[Python14]

I have driven as fast as 128 in my Uncle's Porsche 944. However, riding with someone, I have gone 173 mph in an extremely modernized Mustang Fastback(By modernized I mean it had DFI, Twin Turbos, completely digital dash(it even had a screen saver if the car was in park for more than a minute). Regardless, I hope to move this number up beyond 200 when I finally earn my fortune(and I will earn it) and can buy and customize to hell and back, a 2005 Mustang GT V8.

165 in my twin turbo GTO! Beat a nice Skyline GT-R in the process. I cant wait to get back to the states and get my hands on some real American muscle again. These little ricers are fun, but I miss the good old American toys.

Hey...I remember the vector. I used to have a poster on my wall when I was like 17. Sweet!!!

[Magadeth]

around140 the first time I drove my 73 firebird home from buying it. We wanted to see how fast it would go and it still had some left when I backed off. When I get new tires and redo the engine, I am going to bring it to the track so that I can really test it out. It has a 69 big block 400 under the hood and goes like a bat out of hell. I like to eat impoirts with it.

[Cha0tic]

120 in my 6 (governed)
145 in the 03' benz E320 (spirited driving with my friends audi s4)

55....on my dirt bike....

[FooTemps]

broke 100 today. lol

[dre1919]

135 mph in a Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder Convertable.

[Dubstar112]

In my cousins 84 Trans Am with a crate motor, 130ish mph then the impossible happened. He somehow missed a gear when he was slowing down, and blew all the belts off the motor. Bye bye water pump, power steering and all the goodies!

[skife]

109 in my '94 grand am SE coupe 2-door with a 3.1 v6

it takes me about 4 miles to get there



i want somthing faster, this car is a boat weighing it at a dry weight of 3795lbs

[Dubstar112]

heres the trick. Get a small truck.. Dodge Ram 50, or similar, hard cover for the back, turbo and you have a fast little street ride.

I used to drive a Ram 50. sweet little truck.
