One time my dad and I drove to Germany to test our new car> I think we topped somewhere at 230-240KPH.

So somewhere around 142ish mph? Nice. What car were you in?

And were you driving or was he?

Mercedes c220.

My dad was driving though :(. Fastest I've driven in that car is 40KPH on an empty parking lot. (I dont have my drivers license yet)

BTW, I hate you for being able to do that in Germany (I'm assuming you were on the Autobahn). Mine was on a highway with a speed limit of 65mph lol.


So... anyone else?

Fastest Ever: 120 mph.

On the way to cedar point.

I'm suprised the car went that fast O_o. It's a bmw 328i. 1998.

Oh, about 45km/h. I just got my licence last wednesday. I drove yesterday through a few subdivisions and an empty parking lot. I drove a Dodge Caravan, can't remember what model. I will edit my post when I get home.

My friend, and I were driving 90mphs in his crappy car, and we got behind a Semi and the draft was making it shake hardcore. The car felt like it was going to fall apart.

If you are going 120 in snow you are a goddamned idiot and deserve the impending doom you're rushing towards.

Fastest I have gone is about the same, in my Integra. Me and some friends were going up to Sacramento for a car show and were running late, me in my Teg, them in their 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 (the fastest of the bunch of us), and another in his Civic (who I smoked). We went about 120 the entire way up there, even on the two-lane highway (where there was one lane in each direction), we would pass cars up in the shoulder. It was a rush to say the least.

Lol no, I wasn't driving in the snow. If you DL the pic, the road is white-ish because its the end of winter and it's stained with salt. Theres some leftover snow on the sides of the road, but none of the asphalt itself.

Edit: Forgot to mention the car. '02 BMW 745 both speeds.
The 130 mph one a guy in a mustang tried to race me on the highway. Needless to say, he lost.

I took my Dakota up to 125 once...

I usually cruise around 90-100 on the interestate on the way home.

I don't usually drive over the speed limit, because I think no one should think that their destination is so special that they have to put other people's lives at risk to get there 10 seconds faster.

Thanatos

My first car was a piece of shit. It read 130 but would only take it up to 90 and then it would shake really hard so I have to stop. I now have a truck which doesn't go very fast.. got it up to 95 mph.

The fastest I've driven is 105 mph in a 2000 Ford Mustang owned by a friend.

WetWired

But you see, it's not about getting to the destination sooner. I would take a route that takes four times as long if I could go four times faster (but still take four times as long getting to the destination).

JRwakebord
2005-04-25, 09:54 PM
Yah, it's for the thrill of the speed. Which is why I rarely go that fast and when I do the roads are basically empty. In the pic I posted the road is empty for miles behind me, and I was slowing down as I was coming up on the traffic shown.

kaos
2005-04-25, 10:09 PM
OOH...I forgot to say, like two dayz ago I got reley high and decided for some reason to go eat @_@...Then on my way home there was a cop right behind me while I was driving so I was thinking "I think he wants to race"....hmm anyway it turned up it was a cop at first but then transforumed into a truck.

Well, the difference in going 140 miles at 70 and 140 miles at 100 is 36 minutes.

About 125mph. I dunno maybe faster. My car only registered 120.

The fastest I ever went was about 103 in a rental...Chevy Cavalier, '00 I think. Anyways, it was like 1 in the morning, and me and my bros were coming up the hill from visiting some friends, and we needed to get home...didnt even realize i was going that fast because there was no traffic. Now I got a '95 Nissan XE and the speedometer don't work, and the transmission is fucked, so I only get 2nd and 3rd (not even reverse) and i can barely do the limit on the freeway and it sounds like the engine is going to blow up with the force of 20 nuclear warheads. O.O Anyways, the Cavalier was stock, so I think thats pretty fast...

Because of sugar imbalances

Lol, you don't get high just to eat. I only feel like eating if I've already been hungry THEN smoke, then I can eat anything.

Well if you knew the way I drive then you would believe me if I told you that I discovered the hard way that the governor on my car is at 107. There should be no need for evidence and I have no intention of going above 105 to take a picture in the near future.

I was goin 130 the other day. The fastest I've ever gone... it was in a 55 on the highway.... I drove by a cop that was stopped on the side of the road and the cop for one reason or another didnt do shit. Catch me when I'm going 130 in my step moms M3... gl hf no noobs please

Lol.... first of all, I meant the cop, second of all... you still couldn't catch me if I drove by your stopped car and I was going 130 at the time, I'd be gone too fast.

JRwakebord
2005-04-30, 12:40 PM
Given a couple minutes to pull onto the road and catch up I could. Top speed of an M3 is 155. Top speed of a C5 Corvette is 174.

Of course, if you ditched the highway and got off a random exit before I could catch up, then there's no way I could get you. Wouldn't know where you were.

Hit mid-120's to low-130's in my MR2 pretty often out on the highway. God, sure as fuck love that car.

JRwakebord
2005-05-01, 12:07 AM
Sounds fun, but low 130's? I thought it could only reach 129 (according to Road And Track tests). Is it stock or modded?

Out of the factory cars in the US are governed at 116, so unless tweaked that's where they will top out.

What are you talking about? Are you trying to say that a Dodge Viper and Chevrolet Corvette are limited to 116mph? And what of cars imported into the US, that are manufactured abroad, but sold here?

Lenny

I know that Saabs are tuned down...even the Aeros...if they weren't tuned down then they'd be toof ast for the road...except in Holland and places where they have no speed-limit on motorways...

I'm looking at a Road and Track right now that has a side-by-side test of a 2004 SVT Mustang Cobra and a 2004 Pontiac GTO, and both of those are limited at 155, not 116. Where did you get your information?

Adrenachrome

Common Knowledge.

I'm not trying to argue or anything, but if you find differently let me know.

JRwakebord
2005-05-02, 04:47 PM
Road and Track says differently. And if you mean cars straight out of the factory imported into the US, then I say differently too. Also: Saleen S7. American Car. $400,000. I don't think they're limiting that thing to 116.

Adrenachrome
2005-05-02, 09:02 PM
No I wouldn't say so either.

Only thing I could find about the governers is.. one article about Jags limited to 155, and someone on a ricer forum bitching about their 4 banger's computerlimited speed at 116...

Every 'normal' vehicle Ive ever had a chance to push has gone to like... 118 and back down to like 114.. and back up to 118 ect...

The 140mpg CBR was tweaked for sure.

Maybe its just the mainstream production cars, Not handmade luxury sportscars....

JRwakebord

All from Road and Track:

V-6 Accord: 130, electronically limited.
Pontiac GTO: 155, electronically limited
Chrysler 300C: 126, electronically limited.
Mini Cooper S: 135, electronically limited.
Nissan Maxima 3.5 SE: 140, electronically limited.
Dodge SRT-4: 148, electronically limited.
Cadillac CTS: 149, electronically limited.
Toyota Camry XLE: 130, electronically limited.

I would consider those to be mainstream cars, and they aren't limited at 116. I think that cars are limited according to what the manufacturer has designed them to handle, which in some cases may very well be 116, but it's definitly not a standard number that car manufacturers adhere to.

Now as for some not-so-mainstream cars...

Aston Martin Vanquish: 190
BMW M3: 155, electronically limited.
BMW 745i: 149, electronically limited.
Chevy Corvette C5: 174
Dodge Viper SRT-10: 190
Ford GT: 190
Ferrari Enzo: 218
McLaren F1: 231
Saleen S7: 220
Porsche Carrera GT: 205
