My max was 100 because of the damn governor!
-
110mph I think? I've never had a car that went past 120 on the dash haha, so anything over 115mph tends to feel loose and shaky. Maybe one day when I get that Lambo, though... ;)
-
140 dad's Porsche....nuff said
-
I once did around 125 mph on an empty freeway for about half a minute. Not enough control though, felt like I was flying, I'm not cut out for that stuff.

a buddy and I used to race his 1990 BMW E30 running 15 pounds of boost
until we rolled it a couple weeks ago haha
we would get up to around 140 on the freeway

Wow, how did you roll it? Were there any injuries? Driving is an easy way to die or get seriously injured if you're not careful.

i thought this was gonna be some clever thread about clever drug innuendos, touche. For me, I have gone 115 on a straight shot through the desert in my ex's 06 Acura RSX.
How about the SLOWEST you have ever gone on the highway? My slowest speed was like 15 mph..because mushrooms, don't shroom and drive kids! Seriously. Horrible life decision.

i done 120 on bayside bridge in clearwater
-
About 240+Kmph in a 2002 Volvo S70 T5.....
-
240 kph, about 150 mph
on a good road, it's secure...

Haha! I think I have you beat. 5mph or less after a wreck. It was a limp from the fast lane to the break down.

Hahaha well of course we've all been in traffic and probably gone full hault, but this was sans-traffic lol. Again, not a good call.

we were third gear going about 90 up a canyon where we live(which has a lot of curves in the road)
we came around a corner, hit the breaks because there was a truck parked on the other side of the road.
The back end lifted up and the breaks locked so we slid sideways until we hit a ditch and the car kart wheeled
and rolled up the side of the hill
no one was wearing seat belts and my girlfriend was ejected from the car, she broke her back in a couple places but is recovering very fast and can still walk, no other injuries.
ya we know we are dumb asses

140 in a 91 NX2000 - 2 liter engine and 0-60 in 5.4 completely stock. My Civic wouldn't touch that even with thousands of dollars in parts.

I was the one that wrecked! Everyone was flying past me as I was limping across the freeway. It was as scary as the wreck. No one slowed down one bit. I'm lucky no one smashed into me.

I'm glad everyone survived and your gal is recovering well. Lessons learned! :D

About 120 in a car, 85 on a motorcycle, not much I know :(
Where are my European friends at? Autobahn? :P
-
120 in my old infiniti g35 coupe but then i got scared that i was gonna get a fat speeding ticket
-
^ They're pretty nice..
-
125 for 30 miles at 2AM.
-
Back in 2006, I had a Suzuki XL-7 that was brand new and I wanted to break her in on I-95. I think we topped out at around 117-120, which was rather scary (rollover factored in). Another time, in my 1997 Jetta GLS I hit 125+ in a 75 and got a whopping $600 ticket on my way to university. Good times :P

$600!!! Did they give you a wreckless driving charge?
-
80mph, I don't speed. I drive ~5 mph above the speed limit to match other people, use my blinkers generously, and drive carefully.

You said it. The need for speed was definitely more in my younger days. It's better to blend in these days. No need to bring unwanted attention to ourselves and our freedom loving lifestyles!

No, remarkably! The guy took some small amount of pity on me, for whatever reason. The ticket was in an isolated county several hours away from my university, and I did have to appear to contest or pay, didn't. This resulted in my license being revoked for a year. It could have been worse :X
-
I was on my CBR 929 tuned up and was racing on Garden State Parkway and hit 157 MPH on my bike and still had more room on my throttle. Was going so fast the kid I was racing had the face shield on his helmet ripped right off his helmet. LOL
-
140mph. There were 4 of us in the car to in an LS400 Lexus. Driver was dumb having his high beams on saying he was, "Looking for police."
Lol, kids.
-
'06 pontiac GTO got up to 160 once.....
i shat bricks
-
49 mph
-
250kmh, hit the Rev limiter
-
95 mph, and that was only on a 75 mph highway.
-
Hit 168 mph on the I-10 between Quartzite and PHX.
Sketchy as fuck.
-
255 kph in my brand new VT SERIES 2 GEN 3 COMMODORE . Just after running it in , a crisp clear night , middle of no where . Just me ( on the old school shabu ) , the gen 3 howling and to the song AC/DC 's thunderstruck . Sweet Memories !
-
i hit like 135 on my ex500 motorcycle, and that was pretty crazy. felt like the wind wanted to rip me off the bike.
-
The fastest i've gone in a car was about 155 in a friends srt-4. that was fun. high speeds in cars don't really bother me.
-
about 110
-
95mph. i just follow the speed of traffic in the fast lane
-
as a driver ive done 125mph as a passenger it was just over 150mph
-
140mph in a E46 M3. It got there in a hurry. Pretty stupid in the US though where the roads and traffic aren't prepared for that.
-
SRT-4 is a zippy car...
-
Whatever the legally allowed speed limit is of course. Anything else would be a crime.
-
137mph in - get this - a 1991 Vauxhall Astra Belmont SX fitted with twin 40 Webers and a straight Janspeed exhaust (that had a hole in it near the manifold....bit of extra air intake)
Thing did 5 lamp posts to the gallon
-
160mph on a GSX-R 600
135MPH in s Camaro SS2
-
dis one time i was liek vroooooom and then everone was like whoooaaa and i was like yeeeee

-
an den i wuz like neeerrrooommmm around the corner and VOOOSH! off the cliffs into the cloud where I live today
-
140 in my neighbors mercedes SLK. One perk of dog sitting for wealthy people. Take the benz for the weekend. :)
-
Out of security I will not reveal the vehicle, but one might say I have reached 200+ on a certain USA interstate in said vehicle.
-
140 on my dad's Alfa Romeo giulietta, felt like flying
-
And I thought me doing 90 on fwy was fast.. lol
-
As a driver i've kept my speed below 180 km/h but i've had a short trip in a Ferrari and we went over 250 km/h!
-
130mph, no desire to do it again, was a passenger
-
I might have gone as far as 100 and I regret it. In the US we have a sort of fuzzy system where the limit is 65, but getting ticketed for 75 and less is considered a dick move for cops. A few states have 70 or 75 (or at least used to) and it was actually enforced in that 76 got you a ticket and 75 didn't.
Honestly, given the amount of fatalities car accidents cause in this country, you should be getting prison time for unsafe driving, not petty fines. Drugs might harm me, but if you drive irresponsibly, you're killing other human beings who didn't consent to that risk. Although I guess really slow drivers really piss me off, too. But that's an inconvenience, not a death sentence.
-
100
-
112 MPH in my new saturn with 4 people in the car sleeping. a cop pulled me and 2 other cars over but let us all go with a warning. yeah me.
-
158mph on a ZZR few years back.
Wow it was fast and I even put my foot down a little to grasp how fast :'( nearly took my foot off, but those were my nub days and wouldn't do it again, lol
145ish in an Audi, but motorbike was way more fun!
-

Yes because we people of the Silk Road would never break the law.
Ill never forget when I was a kid, sleeping in the passenger seat of my dads sports car on the highway, then a smash and feeling like I was doing a loop on a roller coaster then smash. He hit something that worked like a ramp going at around 130, we flipped and landed perfectly. Ill never forget the first thing my dads said, "whatever you do, do not tell your mother about this." He then took the car to my uncles shop and gave some crazy story about some guy hitting us to my mother and my uncle agreeing to fix the minor damage. I'm pretty sure my mom never found out.
It's a miracle we lived through that.
When my Silk Road money starts rolling in and I buy my Lamborghini I plan on attempting to flip and land the car perfectly with my girlfriend in the passenger seat as a memory and tribute to my father.

About... tree fiddy

Well it was a 'highway' that was really just a curvy ass road in back country newzealand , going about 180 kmph around tight corner... Shit lucky I've grown up since then!

Brilliant story :D
Fastest I have been is 125mph in my 1.6 Focus and there was more to give but I am wary of cops around that part of the highway.
On the VFR it's about 117mph... I ran out of road. One day I'll take that baby up to 140mph, I know she's good for it even if she is 27 years old.
The older I get the faster I drive, I just choose my moments = big, clear, straight roads. Middle of the night, etc, etc,

In other worlds you still enjoy it, just you do it with some thought before getting reckless driving charges. I would like to shake hands with the guy who goes 125 mph at around 3pm. That man has Steele balls.

140 in my old 95 integra 5 spd.....I had quite a bit of work done to the motor....I was young and dumb and careless and could have killed myself numerous amount of times....Cant drive anymore and Im glad I cant
-
I used to have a Suzuki GSXR 1100, got it up to 250km/h (about 155mph), I think I went a bit faster than that in some moments, but that's the higher speed I could see, hard to follow the highway _and_ look at the dial at the same time lol
Yea crazy youth stuff... what surprised me most is that the highway usually had very soft turns, but at that speed you really had to move the bike, since the curves seemed to turn more and more sharp ... aah good times ^^
-
damn bro, 155 mph on a yamaha gsxr.....u are more insane than i am....im riding on a 66cc gas powered mountain bike nowadays cuz my license got snagged....said my bike will reach 45, i get feared going over 25
-
I have to best my colleague's record mentioned earlier in this thread, since I was in a porsche carrera 4S going 187mph. Hail the autobahns! We crashed on the nurburgring later that day....
-
Damn I wish the USA would grow up and implement productive autobahn-like roads where speed isn't restricted. Maybe then I could legally achieve some of these insane speeds mentioned in this thread.
-
Careful with the details, ladies.
-
Almost 290kph I think thats over 180 mph 1990 TT 300ZX Australia
-
I have a couple of bikes and I have had both my GSX-R 1000 and R-1 up to the limit the speedo stops counting which is ~187-188. Both have had engine work though and once i let off the throttle they stayed at the max for a few second before starting to count down. The speedos aren't incredibly accurate at high speeds but I imagine I was easily doing 170-175 if not more. Easy to do because the state I live in has some long, straight highways and desolate roads. I rode my frined's turbo charged Hyabusa and that will easily clear 200 mph. That might be the single scariest thing I have ever done in my life.

I'm pretty sure I would never ride a turbo Busa! Fucking nuts dude!

Yeah I didn't even try to top it out since it wasn't mine and that was just way too much. It had been bored and stroked, all new internal engine parts, rev limiter bypassed. the whole nine yards. The guy has been riding a lot longer than me though and he handles it pretty good. I can't keep up with him on a straight road and I have a nice gixxer. I can tear his ass up in the curves though. He drag races the bike a lot I guess. I don't know why else you would want a Hyabusa with a turbo. Thing breaks down a lot as well.
-
each to their own, sounds like he may as well strap his balls to an RPG! At that speed i prefer having a role cage, harness and roof over head. But Props for giving it a go!
-
Fastest I have been in about 175 in a maserati
-
Pegged the limiter at 160 in an 04 STi in North Carolina I-95 traffic. I like to think I am older and wiser now ::)
-
are you tryin' to kill yourself?
-
about 118... if you are on a very straight road it doesn't even feel like you are going too fast after a while
-
Trying to get some friends to the airport. They hit takeoff velocity before they boarded ;D
-
Many thanks to all for this information!
