Five mph faster than anyone else in this forum, in a car that cost more and gets better gas mileage than anyone else's. Oh and my super model, billionaire, nymphomaniac, liquor store owning girlfriend was in the car with me at the time.
I remember you!
You also have an IQ of 170, scored 1600 on your SATs and can bench press 375, right?

Somewhere around 105 mph in an 88 Ford Taurus yesterday. My girlfriend and I were late for a wedding, and she promised to make it worth my while if I got her there on time. :D

I went 160 mph(+or- 5) in a 1999 TransAm Special DooHicky edition. Hehe, I don't know the exact model, but it was an Aniversary edition or something. And that was on a gradual down hill road.

I asked him on ICQ, he said it is a 1999 Pontiac Firebid TransAM 30th Anniversary, and he said something about pulleys, and headers.....

If it were a straight road I would have gone all the way
I did about the same in a 95 supercharged firebird formula...but the road wasnt straight. Those cars HAUL with a blower.

95mph in my 1990 TOYATO TERCEL COUPE...and 110 in a cady when I was 7yrs old


You heard me...The engine was about the explode..I believe it had a proud 75hp


I just got a honda accord(1993?) that should definitely prove to be my record braker
