whats the fastest you've been clocked at

[Lamont Burns]

~105 in a Chevy Tahoe. Speedometer listed 120, but every time I hit ~105 it kicked me back down to 98-100.

 

[SSSnail]

135 by the CHP Cesna. Gave me a "slightly over speed limit" ticket, and a smile.

 

[crab]

84 in a 65 on the PA Turnpike eastbound just before Carlisle.

 

[MrWizzard]

151 in a 911 Carrera S.

Atlanta Speedway (The Racetrack), got pulled over and was told I need to downshift differently when approaching the corner. This was back when I was trying to perfect my heal toe downshifting.

EDIT: Highest ticketed speed 45 in a 30...... it was rather lame, I was being passed but was the only person who pulled over. But I deserved it, I was speeding.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

197 by a NH trooper

No, I wasn't in trouble.

Back in 2k I got together with a few other riders, one of which was a NH state trooper and went to a closed road he knew of and we did top end runs. He had a radar gun to verify speed.

Highest ticketed speed? 85 in a 65 mph zone, ironically also in NH.

Damn governors, I had a Buick Regal that did that. Car had a ton of power in reserve, but that governor was like hitting a wall.

Hahaha, that is one sweet, innocent kid. Maybe not dumb - just really naive.

 

[homercles337]

I was once doing about 95 in a 35 (twisty road in the suburbs on my GSXR750). In my mirror, I barely caught his brake and red/blue lights come on. I didnt stick around to see what he had to say. I was 20 or so at the time.

 

[Kadarin]

101 in a 65. $800 fine and a 30 day license suspension...

Don't get caught going over 100mph on I-5 going through Coalinga, as the judge in that town is not only Nazi, he's a bona fide member of the SS.

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

82 in a 55

I was coming back from a lan party with some of my friends with 3 total cars. They were doing 115 I later found out (in a stretch of hwy known for radar traps), so I sat back and did my *lowly* 85. Well they get behind a car doing 65 and had slowed down when they got to that car, but I was still doing 80+. I was pissed at my friends.... Very pissed....

Haha, yeah I was 17 at the time and figured out the whole governor concept/implementation b/c of it. I was/am beyond car retarded, so this was actually a learning experience for me.

 

[pstylesss]

46 in 25. It turned into a 25 from a 35 and he nailed me. Bastard.

Fastest I've gone was 120 in a stretch of road in Montana. I wasn't able to go any faster because my PCM has a limiter on it.

What truck do you have? (engine, transmission, year, cab, bed length...)

A 4.7+5 speed 2WD gen 3 Dakota like mine does what I listed, the same in a late model Ram does 16.8, gen 3 R/T Dakota 15.2-15.4, Hemi Ram QC 15.65. QC SRT10 Ram mid to upper 14's. (why they made that I have no idea...)

It's big and slow. 01 F150 super cab, 6' box, 4x4 5.7l V8 4spd auto. It's rigged for towing so it really doesn't have great acceleration. I'm thinking it's probably slower through the trap then your truck is, especially given the 5000lb+ weight.

 

[Jeff7]

I've never been pulled over for speeding, so the only things that have clocked me are those automated "Your speed is:" signs around construction zones.

 

[antyler]

never been pulled over. . .

Yeah, but not from me.

Personally I got clocked at 206 in a 30 (that is mph). I was in my McClaren F1. Cop let me off with a warning.

Yea I was clocked at 1856 MPH in THIS

Cop let me off with a warning too, he said I need to slow down about 1800 MPH cause there was a speed bump coming up.

Yeah, First time I experienced a governor was in my brother's ex's Accord about 4 months ago. Got it up to 125 and suddenly I felt this kick, I swore something came apart and then I remembered about the governor. Thank goodness that was it Found out that my Expedition limits to a mere 110 (probably for the best). Our old Bronco's speedo goes up to 85 but it doesn't limit, so I dont really know how fast it goes. It's so awkward at anything above 60 that I've been far too chicken to have it above 80 for more than a few seconds.

I'm going to assume you mean 5.8 or 5.4...

You're probably on par with the 4.7 Ram that I lined up against that did 16.8. Maybe as high as 17.5.

 

[legoman666]

The highest percentage I was over the limit was 65 in a 35. Was late at night and is the street I live on. It's fairly straight but the fear of running into a deer kept me from going faster.
