Fastest you've driven

[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).

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... going 70 after that feels like you could get out and walk faster.

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.

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.

The speedometer stops at 140...

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

bout 100.

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.

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
