What's the fastest you ever drove in a car ?

[kalrith]

About 140 in my dad's '85 corvette. I was the passenger. The fastest I've ever driven is 105 in my '99 Ranger, and I could only hit that with it floored going downhill.

All as a driver.

I have gotten a 127MPH ticket at 17.

Been to 145 (hit limiter)

Drive about 80 normally on my commute (65mph). On trips 90-100, will hit 120 or so during late night romps.

As a passenger I was told once we were over 160 once we got to wherever we were going. I don't know.

Why swap the engine and keep the standard bar style speedo?

When I got done modding my Z I took it out for a spin to see how fast I could get it.

Got to about 170 mph before I let off. Since the speedo only goes up to 165 mph I figured there was no point.

Original motor shredded, speedo still worked.
Besides, you only need a speedo between 25 and 65 mph anyway.
Any cop will tell you how fast you were going.

That's it, you've been a wonderful crowd. Tip the staff, and well, tip yourselves, you've been that good!!

110 on the chicago freeway - no joke.
4 People in the car - racing from Milwaukee (Who could get to the pizza place first) - they got pulled over doing 70.

 

[Zepper]

I nudged over 100 once or twice on remote stretches of Interstate. That was in an early 70s Fiat 124 sport coupe shortly after I kitted the Weber (it was my first new car, but I can't remember what year it was - tried to blank the episode from my mind as I was in the Air Force and a couple of months after I brought it on base, a drunken NCO pushed it up over the curb) . I think I did it again a few more tines in my 1980 Datsun 200SX. I was the driver and the only person in the car at the time.

.bh.

 

[seemingly random]

145 driving my '86 vette on an interstate - she was napping and upset that she missed it - felt like 80. Some roads would make the tires sing - it was a very cool car.

120 to work almost every day on a very limited access, high visibility stretch in the middle of a fairly big city - was usually wide awake upon arrival to work (don't drink coffee).

That's not driving.
flirting with redline eh?

I started hearing very upset rivets when I made a few fairly steep turns

You a pilot too? Where do you fly out of? if we're talkin airplanes, fastest I've gone is 250 mph in an arrow .. thank god for tailwinds.. lol

Not anymore but when I did, it was kdab. 250 in an Arrow..I guess you're talking about ground speed If that's the case, I've done nearly -5 once in the same plane.

I've always been meaning to try getting a negative groundspeed but never got a chance.. lol.. Sounds like it'd be pretty cool so will try and do it next time.. Out of curiosity, why'd you stop flying? too expensive?

it was rental 1.4 stickshift. the road was downhill and the accelerator was floored. also did it on a level road but had to double clutch.

~85-90 in an '02 Passat, passing cars on the highway. I've never driven anything that could do really exciting speeds.

 

[Eeezee]

Hit 105 in my '95 camry. Was on the I-10 between Phoenix and Tucson. There weren't many cars on the road, and I wanted to have a little fun. Dropped it back down to 80 for the rest of the trip though.

I've gone 90 a few times, but only if there are cars going faster than I am. I feel that I can safely follow behind a particularly fast car so long as I go a little slower than them. That's usually pretty easy in California.

130mph passenger in a Civic.
100mph driver in a 1.2l Fiat Punto with a whole 60hp.

 

[RbSX]

260kph in a lamborghini gallardo

The lambo reps filmed part of it but not the part of me racing a 911 turbo down the road with me, I was comfortable doing 100kph but the guy kept telling me to go quicker.

I'm in the carbon black one. Best day of my life.
