I may sound like a wussy here, but I've done 70 in my Hyundai Excel. The poor thing was shaking and the crosswinds were terrible. Nothing puts more confidence in you than a shaking steering wheel (really, it's the fastest I've gone, and I only have a learner's permit!) 135,000 miles on it and it still goes like a bat outta heck on the interstates (81 horsepower is enough for me).

I don't see you being a "wussy", some cars just arn't built for speed, and they can be just as scary at 80mph as other cars are at 170. :sly:
 
137 MPH in a 92 Subaru SVX... I was chasing down some guy in a new Impala :P This was on a back farm road... so... like barely 2 lanes... it was fun..
 
'97 Neon with a blown cord in the left front - 110mph

'99 Grand Prix - 120mph and smooth as silk...

My brothers '69 Chevelle - No idea. I was too young to care and too busy laughing to look at the speedo. My dad and brother pulled out the 350 and slid in a bored 396. Damn nice car, 'till he sold it. :guilty:
 
I recently did 205 km/h on the highway near here,that would be around 125 mph if i'm correct.8500 rpm but still not near the redline.Will have to try harder next time :sly: .I read on various car forums that the car can do 150 mph.
 
I noticed the post on using econoboxes for speed....

110 MPH (Thats the max on the speedo anyhow) in a 94 Toyota Tercel 4 speed. It felt like it was gonna just have bolts popping off and everything... it was more distressing than the SVX... thats for certain...
 
the fastest iv ever drivin was in an R33 GTR with an RB28DETT(2.8 Twin Turbo) it was a mates who was on the turps, we clocked 276km/h on the electronic speedo the fastest iv ever been in a car was in a 99 Christmas Edition Supra riding shotgun up to 308km/h, i was so F`n freaked, but we did it again, i found that i clenched my legs too much and they started to hurt, as for the driver, I think he was more freaked then I was.
 
WHOA BABY JUST YESTERDAY MY BROTHER BROKE HIS OLD RECORD OF 110 MPH to his new record 125 MPH! He could have gone to at least 140 but I told him to floor it when we got about 1/4 of the way down the long straight. Oh and there are no drivers on this road usually! and I have never seen a cop on that road either! Oh and my brother's car is a STOCK 2004 Honda Accord EX V6.
 
In the Mustang 155mph on the speedo...fun times :)
On the 02gsxr 1000 bone stock 183 mph as indicated by the speedo, wich are known to read quite a bit high..

aww come on man tell us your car! please! :D We wont make fun of you :lol: no really I mean if it can go 120 MPH then thats nothing to laugh at.
 
Its not the speed, its the car itself. Its almost 15 years old.
I'd rather not for, like I said, personal reasons. :)
 
I was "paced" by a cop doing 120ish in a 92' Hyundai Sonata with a modded 91' Eclipse turbo motor! (no ticket, undercover never "identified" himself, was entrapment!)

130+ in my 90 GLI

140+ in a 93' 300 twin turbo (huge pucker factor)

140+ on a 98' TL1000R :scared:

130+ on a 00' R1 (never again! :scared: )

120+ on a 98' Buell (Buell test ride at a HD open house!)

120+ (alot) in my GTI (ask boom!)

I use "+" becaus I dont think factory speedos are right after 100 . . .

Yeah, but they are wrong the other way. If it was indicating 120 you were almost certainly doing less than that. In the UK, it's 10% that speedos are allowed to be out by. So 120 could be as low as 108.

My point.
 
some manufactureres are more "off" than others. a good number of them are about 5-6% off.
regulations here also state that the speedo can read up to 10% over.
 
holy ****. I went about 115 in some Saab. Early '90's. Damn that thing could go, especially for one as heavy as it. The guy who owned it also owned a BMW body shop in Vancouver and worked on Mathew Good and some other ppl's cars too, (i have Matt Good's mountain bike!) so its more than likely that he did somehting to the engine (in the Saab). He probably would've gone faster had I not been 13 when he did it. On route to Toronto tho i saw a CRB1000 go flying past us fast as hell. He was easily doin 150. Damn thats fast. Comming back from Toronto one day I saw some guy going north at like 130 in a Maserati.
 
95mph in my Dad's Volvo S80.
95mph in my Mom's Dodge Stratus SXT.
110mph in my Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. << will NEVER happen again :ill:

...not until I get my Saab, of couse... :sly:
 
~185 km/h -> ~115 mph.
That was still in the powerband, so I think I could get to maybe 210. Not untill I have new tires though :P

Also topped out my old car at 140.
