gone the same speed in a Saab 93 viggen with passengers. its more fun when other people are freaking out

Yeah but when the car goes splat and all your passengers die but you survive......well, everyone kinda hates you. FWIW, I only do stupid shit in my car when it's just me, and 99% of the time on an empty road.

To clarify they were all fine with it. They asked to see how fast we could get up to, its not my fault they weren't prepared for it

142mph in the year 2000

On I-5 South at about 3:30am, sober just getting off work. Had 4-passengers in the car.

Since then I've hit 105 - 110 a bunch of times to make a quick pass but never desired to recklessly speed again.

friends dad owned a Porsche 911 twin turbo, think we got it up to about 160, i was the passenger...otherwise, my personal best is 90, I prefer to not go over that.

Personally, 110 in my RAV4. My roommate took his mustang out to a back road that was straight for a few miles and we did close to 140.

you should try the z4 then... difference is night and day. completely different car.

I can get up to 155-160 and it cruises with total stability.

I love it. I can get up to 120 and not even realize I'm doing faster than 80-90........

I have maxed out every car I have owned. Either revlimited or speed governed. Usually interstate hwy, late night.

140-ish in the current Talon.

I'll only do it on a 3 lane wide (each way) interstate, with no traffic around and a pretty much straight path. If I wreck my car doing 160, I don't want someone else's blood on my hands. I'll stay in the middle lane and I only get to the max speed enough to verify it on the speedometer.. Then I slow down.

I just like knowing how fast I can get my car.. Not so much sustaining the speed....
