What's the fastest you have driven your car, or a car?

[Tarrant64]

101 in 55 construction. got pulled over. don't really want to talk about it... '00 corolla v4(max speed is 110 on those things...so you can imagine i wasn't even paying attention to the meter after 90 really...)


120+ in new accord. good stuff. last time. just had to get a feel for what it was capable of.

 

[necine]

125... 1993 lincoln mark viii

 

[Orsorum]

110-115MPH in my Kia Optima. woot.

 

[Aries64]

137 MPH in my Neuspeed Stage II HP Kit-equipped 90' Corrado G60 northbound on the I-395 around midnight. Pretty dangerous at night because of deer and other animals. I could have made it to 140 (top speed) except my wife (then-fiancee) woke up and had a sh1t attack.

 

[ItsAlive]

145 MPH in an 89' Honda Prelude SI 2.0L 4 banger......believe it.
97 MPH in an 86' Nissan Pulsar NX 1.6L 4 banger was suprised but I was topped out and going downhill at the time.

Dont think I will be doing it again in a hurry......Almost ****** myself on our sorry excuse for a motorway.

bullcrap...a supercharged VT crummydore is nowhere near as fast as an XR6 or XR6 turbo and they only do 232km/h.

the supercharger used on them is only a little M50 eaton and it tends to run out of puff well and truly before 5000 rpm.

next time pick a better car before you try to bullshit.

107MPH in 90' Eclipse GS on Interstate 20 in south Texas. The shocks were just about gone, and I was bouncing like a mad man, thought the car would hyrdoplane, so I backed it off.

Gone 100 a time or two in other cars since then, but they were quick accelerations/decelerations due to police fear and mortal fear.

Here in the Milwaukee area the speed limits are 55 in the city, 65 when you leave the metro area. Anything over 90 in Wisconsin gets your license revoked on the spot.

Damn...good thing when I got pulled over doing 92, it was in Indiana.

 

[sobriquet]

132 in my 1997 Integra GS, way too goddamn fast and completely stupid.

 

[TomKazansky]

145 in my buddy's gs300 (astro)

 

[SP33Demon]

Around 110 in a Toyota Tacoma (4 banger), probably could have done 120.

 

[mrizvi66]

well lmy porsche speedometer stops at 85...but i had it pinned there for 5 mins....

 

[chickadee]

probably about 95 in a 95 Mazda Protege. I do about 85-90 every time I'm going to or from work. Such is NJ driving.

When I work and come home late at night though, I sometimes find myself really just wanting to get home and the parkway is open and before I know it I realize I'm at 95. I probably wouldn't even notice the speed I hit if not for the fact my car starts violently convulsing after 90.

 

[g33x0r]

112 on I-5 on my way to Seattle from Portland in my Ford Escort lol that's as fast as the governor will let the engne go. Probably a good thing too

 

[GrInD1901]

when i was about 7-8.....my dad had a souped up opel omega...he did 218 km/h and slowed down cause the road was too bad...he said hes sure it would go a lot faster

 

[michaels]

140 in a Superbee, 135 on a Yamaha Fazer.

 

[keldog7]

215 km/hr (135mph) in a 2006 Volvo S60.
195 km/hr in 2001 Jetta TDI (chipped)

 

[ProfJohn]

135 in a 95 eclipse gst on the Fl turnpike, hit the limiter, was more scared of a cop than the speed.

120 with the top down in my 91' merc capri and a 98 eclipse spyder gst, talk about awsome and loud

 

[gamefreakgcb]

100MPH in a 1994 Mercury Villager on a not so straight expressway with traffic and drenching rain at night. Was pissed, had a migrane, just off from teaching 25 or so kids (under 11) and the 2 trucks on either side of me spraying water on me weren't helping in any way. This is in early 2006.

Wrong smart arse, its a m90 w/ 12psi pulley, 1.9.1 rocker, and type s cai. I never said it was standard. i cant comment on XR6's as i dont have one.
You may want to ask for more details in future before calling people out mate..So eat ******.

 

[fstime]

253 mph in my Veyron.

Neat...except I have a hard time believing you. That car tops out at about that speed...and I have yet to meet someone on Anandtech who was crazy enough to lay down 1.1 million U$ for a CAR. A boat - maybe, but not a car....

 

[giantpinkbunnyhead]

150-155 in an Aston Martin Vanquish. What can I say... the sales rep encouraged it!

 

[SolMiester]

Wow, nice car bunnyhead!

Good job Sherlock. He would've gotten away with that lie if it wasn't for your quick thinking.
