little under a buck 70 in Germany during the 06 Gumball , took awhile to get that fast

168-ish in my '05 S4. On Interstate 89 between Burlington and Stowe, Vermont. Around noon, clear summer day. If anyone knows that stretch of road, it's literally a 2.6 mile straightaway of perfect pavement with 10 foot barbed wire fences about 15 feet from each shoulder and a grass median between the north and south lanes. During the mid-day that highway is about as empty as highways get. It's just about the safest place to act wreckless besides a track.

Not saying it was the smartest thing to do, but I came into the straight kinda hot (around 85mph), saw there was not a car in sight, and went for it. Held that speed for about 5 seconds and the car felt surprisingly smooth.

 

[Itzkirb]

200+mph in my Supra

oh and...

185 in my brothers souped up Camaro

 

[PIXXFLIX]

167mph in my turbo-charged s2k. 190mph or so in a 9.98 et 800whp supra. but the scariest EVER!!!!! is in my 1990 corolla with 13x6 wheels @90mph.

 

[kwiker]

Fastest i have ever driven - 185ish in a c6 z06, i looked down and saw 183 and stayed in it for a couple more seconds and then backed out.

I have ridden along at a gps verified 208mph in a supra tho...seriously.

 

[silversurfer]

only speedo, no gps...but have broken the 2 dolla mark in two of my cars.

 

[FEARLESS]

260KPH or 156 MPH in my old 03 Cobra with Passport 9500i for backup. But at those speeds no one was going to catch us.

 

[Drive4Ever]

145mph on my 2005 ZX-6R (sold)

 

[HRE_GUY]

oh this ought to be interesting.

Lets count how many guys say they have been over 185 in their brothers souped up Camaro... or 200+mph in their Supra.

LOL.....I think SW is the only guy who can lay claim to both of those statements with proof to back it up :lol:

 

[SKNKWRX]

Into the 180s on the back of a modified Hyabusa (talk about terror), about 160 in my Gallardo is fastest I have gone on 4 wheels.

 

[LIV1S]

12 mile runway (San Mateo Bridge), around 3AM, on the eastbound section Hayward side, '72 Pantera, headlights down.

The car is supposed to top out at 165 with the stock gearing(hey come on, this is an old car). I glanced at the needle as it passed 135 but didn't glance back back down until I had to slow down, headlights up, before passing the toll booths on the other side. The needle was already dropping below 130 when I looked so I don't know if I ever hit 165hwell:.

I was stupid, I was twelve (actuall 20) when I did this. I have been a law abiding citizen ever since. And, the only reason I changed my fifth gear was to have a better cruise rpm on overdrive :wink:.

 

[dj_dub]

154 in my old fixed up 2000 VW Golf 1.8T

 

[mch69]

160 in my e55

I remember a thread about this on Supraforums a few years ago and it got comical. Lots of guys with BPU Supras talking about doing 200mph runs in their cars on a weekly basis. I found an article written about that time about the physics involved in getting a car to 200mph and the way the power requirement increases exponentially with the aerodynamic drag. I'm going by memory, so I am ballparking, but they requirement to get a Supra to 200mph was like 800hp to the wheels... without blowing your EGT's through the roof.

 

[GoKartMozart315]

haha looks like this thread has turned out to be alright.

only speedo, no gps...but have broken the 2 dolla mark in two of my cars.

saw your article in heavy hitters, which cars?? great collection man. tell me one was the cgt...

 

[Jad]

riding, not driving:
180mph, c6 z06 in virginia while racing a fully built s/c mustang, getting passed by bikes
200mph, a saleen s7 in miami on a runway racing a twin turbo murci and a ford gt

 

[Brian H]

One forty something in the 5, as Fred blew by me in the RS.... lol

of course on a closed/private road

 

[Sikklightning]

135-see sig.

 

[Sean1]

GSXR 750- stopped glancing down at 175 and stayed in a little bit more

99 Lightning -Modded w/speed limiter removed Buried the speedo which I think stopped at 140. Probably hit 145-150ish. Smooth as silk at speed. I miss that truck.

Super Snake run 1st through 4th with the heavy pedal down- wasn't watching the speedo- but I've seen 165 on the dyno doing a 4th gear pull. Lots of noise, lots of Revs, lots of fun. Knowing what I now know about the UP cars I should be dead.

Never done on public roads of course.

135-see sig.

All I see in your sig is your creepy love for MTK and Raw Mean.

145ish in the RS @ Roebling Road.

Others are top secret.
