I walked, but I did all the women when I got there.

Just kidding.

I am retreating from the farthest galaxies at near light speed in any car I drive.

1983 Honda CX650 Custom - 117mph, on a dark night on a two lane country road.
1997 Dodge Grand Caravan mini van - 115mph

Both times scared the poop out of me. Yeah, I'm a pussy when it comes to driving.

140+ MPH. 1999 Mustang GT convertible. Heading north on Route 14 from Red Rock Canyon to Ridgecrest California. I put the plus at the end because the car did not stop accelerating, although the speedometer was maxed out.

Something tells me this isn't accurate for my 4-cylinder 2001 Dodge Stratus

125mph-ish in a 04 350z somewhere around Barstow CA (driving to Las Vegas). At that point I was thinking "If I get pulled over, I'm going to jail... lets back off a bit" haha.

140 km/h in my 1992 Honda Accord this summer. Trans Canada #1 just past Hope.

The car has more to give, but it was turning 4000 rpm and starting to vibrate quite a bit. Thought it best to back off.

However fast the 85 camaro with slightly modded h.o. 305 was in 5th gear at about 4500rpm, impossible for me to know for sure since the speedometer stopped at 140kph (loltastic). Felt insanely fast though.

been 175-235kph in various other cars, but none as exciting to drive in a straight line

current car is one of the slowest I've ever had but gets me where I need to go for a lot less money!

128mph Mitsubishi Galant...it had relatively new tires and I didn't fear the Georgia Highway Patrol... I drove a little over 110 miles in 55 minutes that night.

I was stupid and the closest I've gotten to that in 12 years is 90mph.

~120 in 03 PT Cruiser GT. Thing felt like it was going to lift off.
I got my '94 SL2 up to 80. Thing felt like it was going to explode.

About 90mph. I was on a shitty country road, so I didn't wanna go too fast.

Speedo in my z28 stops at 155mph, had it pegged past there for a few miles on the freeway when I was angry.

Don't think I've even gone over 100mph in the Trans Am ws6, even though it has 100rwhp more. Too scared of tickets these days.

88 GT mustang at least 240kph speedo went to 220kph, which i hit in 4th gear, took it to 4000rpm in 5th. Was on the 99 hwy in richmond, started in the tunnel and was over the bridge into vancouver in less than 3 min.

1997 Volvo 850 T5R Wagon 245kph on the coquihalla hwy.

2009 Toyota Matrix XR 230kph on the coquihalla hwy.

1988 CRX Si 200kph on the island highway north of nanaimo on vancouver island, would have gone faster but thats as fast as i can go with the short gearing in the Si transmission.
