What's the fastest you have traveled in a car?

[dean0000]

Every now and again I like to take my car out and push it to the limits. I know I shouldnt but it gives me a good adrenaline buzz, and is easier to do than other things which would do the same.

The fastest I have ever gone in a car was 120 Mph with just me in the car. I proberly would try to go faster but thats the top my car will do.

Whats the fastest you have ever traveled as a passenger or driver and share your stories of high speed.

Dont try this at home folks.

[cannabis campbell]

140mph, by the way even if the maximum on the speedo is 120 your car can do faster than that it just doesnt show it.

what car was it btw

[TheGreenBuddy]

120. i was fucked up too.

[Delta]

160 on the the Kansas turnpike in my gs 400. Got in a race with a BMW 750 . It was a incredible rush but I will probably never do it again.

[OLDE ENGLISH '800]

145mph driving a car and like 170 somethin on the back of a bike

[dean0000]

140mph, by the way even if the maximum on the speedo is 120 your car can do faster than that it just doesnt show it.

It was peagout 406 2.1TD (110bhp). Were you driving the car that went that speed?

170 on the back of a bike!!! That must have been some crazy shit.

[sefi]

yea iv done around 17 189 on a bike, wow it was an aprilia, a rich relative had it wow it was fucking fun, i guess thats an alternative to drugs ahaha

[Seag420]

140mph in a ferrari f430, it was the most random thing ever, i was filling my fiesta st up at the local petrol station and i heard what sounded like some chavs irritating exhaust and i looked over and it was a 430. i paid for my fuel and the 430 owner had just paid for his and i asked him what model of ferrari it was. he started asking me about the st and i said can i look at the fezza. we walked over to it and he opened the door and asked if id got 10 mins, hed take me round the block. needless to say i said yes and he went to the nearest bypass, and give it some stick!absoulty amazing noise its v8 makes at full chat. he overtook some ford focus like it was standing still

[OLDE ENGLISH '800]

170 on the back of a bike!!! That must have been some crazy shit.

well i had the liquid courage in me so i was invincible lol
the next day i was like wtf was i thinkin

[Smokez]

140mph on my car and 135 on my motorcycle. I was sober both times.

[psychocat]

German Autobahn + Porsche + Cocaine = 180 mph LOL
Nurbergring + Tricked Up Fireblade = !65 mph

On the open road the fastest with a bike was round 150 on a Dutch motorway between Leiden and Schipol Airport (Amsterdam) and the same there abouts on the Belgian motorway that goes past Antwerp on the way to Oostend.

[JDMBoy420]

155 in my old crx b16 swap, hondata, n chipped. R.I.P!:hippy:

[birdgirl73]

Porsche Carrera turbo with my husband driving out in the hilly countryside of northeastern Oklahoma, almost to the Arkansas border. He got that thing up to 170 mph. He was going to tell anyone who stopped us that he had a medical emergency to get to, but no one stopped him. He once got a Lotus Europa to a higher speed than that on some sort of car track in Amarillo, Texas, but that was a place designed for cars and speed. I stood on the sidelines for that demonstration, thankfully.

Frankly, it was I who came close to being the medical emergency at those speeds in the Carrera. Former paramedics never do well at speeds like that. We've seen what can happen as a result. I was very glad when he slowed back down.

[psychocat]

If you have the money for a Porsche then usualy you have the money to get it derestricted and also souped up if you wish...:thumbsup:... I know I did ;)

BTW most restrictions are done through the engine management system so it's a simple case of replacing a few electronic bits and pieces. different exhaust, bit of tuning and thats just for starters. lol

[Old Stoner]

153 when the limiter kicked in... What a rush!

[The Dude Of Life]

I got beaten by a volkswagen r32 today but i still hit 110, in my 2001 impala. completely stock except for flowmaster exhausts, dayton wire wheels, retuned computers (no governor) and a cold air filter along with a nice msd ignition i pulled out of the junkyard, it usually hits 60 in 6 seconds, that was at the end of third gear... highest ive ever gotten it to was 130 but that was almost pushing it, im sure it still had a thousand RPMS till redline (no tachometer)
thats my car
fastest ive ever been is probably in my uncles (in his will for me :) :)) 2000 something viper srt-10 (new generation), he hit 170 on the jersey turnpike.
notable one is 150 in a modified old version volks beetle, on the jersey turnpike also coincidentally haha.
jersey turnpike is fun to go fast on haha
fucker got 0-60 in somethin like 4 1/2 seconds, crazy going that fast in one of those...

[4twentE]

120 in a car and 135 on my bike. I wasn't wearing gear on the bike or I would've gladly gone way faster. but I'll have to wait for a new bike now. I crashed the hell out of it the other day; broke the frame in half. I hit the ground at 70 scraping myself up pretty badly. But can't wait toheal up and get a new bike to hit that 170-185 mark.

[trainwreck530]

6.3 liter V8 AMG i think thats a little more than 155 buddy. ive also seen some incredible looking SL500s that could RIP!

Donny

[devilvenom]

dose the accelerated speed of getting ejected count as part of the speed? we were going about 110 before my buddy lost control hit the embankment slid on right side for who knows how long then flipped sideways(end to end). i was in the back seat, and ended up in a ditch, when i came to i saw this peace of shit car a couple 100 feet away from me and thought to myself " who's the fucking idiot who did that"! i tried to get up and my foot wouldn't work (dislocated and broken fibula) #2 on the injury list. the driver#3 had the car roll over his leg and broke a toe, passenger#1 fractured some neck bones and had a branch go straight through him missed vital organs, and a collapsed lung. he was air lifted out after walking to the house somehow, we just happen to crash about three, four blocks from the drivers house. there a shit load of details but i'm about to watch a movie, gangster #1, good movie everyone should check it out.

160mph in a car and 140mph - 150mph on a bike, I was a passenger in both cases.

I wasnt trying to call you a liar, I just didnt know if you could get it de-restricted. You would think they would make it so you couldnt. Your mate was lucky to get off with just a fine :)

"The Legalization of Marijuana is Inevitable"

Yeah man I hate being the passenger when someone is doing high speeds in a car. I remeber one time I was in a car with someone who was pissed and he was doing 100-120 on these winding back roads. On one corner I felt the back tyres go, I thought I was going to die that night.

The road we were travelling on was quite notorious for crashes. Only 4 years before some people our age totaled a car and 3 of the 5 were killed almost instantly.

[hero3279]

145mph. I wasn't driving though.

[hero3279]

Them german autobahns are absolutely amazing for driving. So much freedom and space to drive. Drove past loads of cops at 140mph...they are so lax about the driving there? I think it's a bit like Amsterdam and weed.

That's the only good thing about Germany, the people are horrible!

[Nation_1ne]

134 in a 1996 honda civic (with only 130 hp;)), going down the mountains from prescott to phoenix. I had to drive daily for work and would routinily go 100 -110.

[xcrispi]

Top speeds no fun if it takes a 1/2 hr. to get there .
Hows about 160 mph from a dead dig in just over 8.50 seconds . It's all about the fwd. G's. and the adreniline .

I'd give anything to be able to pass a N.H.R.A Top fuel physical . 325 mph. in 4.90 seconds and 4 G's of fwd force would be a real rush . Real racecars don't have doors anyways. :D

[xxxhazexxx]

i went to a race track called santa pod in my mates escort mark 2 he had a 1750 cross flow engine with twin webbas and a nitous tanks we must have gone 160 plus he done the 1/4 mile in 8-1/2 seconds:thumbsup:

[SantaClawz]

145 In the passenger seat of a Acura NSX.
And 131(Digital Panel) in my friends stang 5.0 racecar, the lotus elise I was racing had to be going about 160. then about ten minutes later I dropped the clutch too hard at a stop sign, the front tires didnt even move, fishtailed it into the curb and cracked a rim :o PIST

[Medical.use]

It's not a car but i've toped out my gsxr-1000 several times. It hits about 185 mph before redline. Pulled me down the 1/4 in 9.9 seconds a couple times too. For a good rush i power up the front wheel at 100 mph and ride it for a while.:thumbsup:

[TPot]

250mph in my Buick.

Now that I have your attention, well over half of you are just straight up lying. Over the internet. Which is really, really lame.

The fastest I've ever gone is 105mph, it's as fast as my civic will go.
Don't lie. People here are smart.

Another 1/4 of you are exaggerating. What SUPERBIKE were you on when you were going at 170mph. And you were on the BACK?

turbo busa

[Medical.use]

I believe he hit 170 as a passenger on a turbo busa. Carring a passenger at those speeds is very risky but possible. I hit 150 in the 1/4 from a dead stop. So a busa going down the freeway at 70then accelerating hard would hit 170 in about 2 seconds.

Not a chance any road vehicle could gain 100MPH in 2 seconds. The worlds most powerful car the Bugati Veyron (1000bhp) has a 0-60 time of around 3 seconds. As you get above 60 it takes longer than 3 seconds to get to 120 (double the speed).

Im sure that the fastest bike in the world has a 0-60 of around 2.5 seconds.

[WildFire.ca]

We spun out at 260km and the cop said we hit the barrier backwards at about 230ish.

[Old Stoner]

Nope TPot, not exagerating at all. Ask my wife, LOL, she pee'd her pants. The '06 GTO I own has 405 RWHP, and it's limited at 153 MPH. And knowing your from Georgia, have you ever been down I-185 from LaGrange to Columbus? Nothing there, plenty of straights, and hardly ZERO enforcement. Almost lieke the Autobahn. THAT is where I hit 153, and when I figure out how to kill that damn limiter, I'll post even faster times. Of course you know the LS@ engine in the GTO also comes in the Corvette, but by GM's infinit wisdom, they couldn't let a lowly GTO outrun a Vette, hence the limiter.

Come on out to West Georgia if you wanna see for yourself! ;)

[Iguana]

140 in a Buick.

[psychocat]

Lots of bikes will top 200 mph if they aren't restricted by law, which to my mind is crazy.
Bikes in the UK must be restricted to186mph (300km/h) If I was crazy enough to try this on a road or track (and I definately don't reccomend any British roads) then if it did go tits up I reckon I would end up as roadkill wether I was doing 180 or just that little bit higher .
If you really want to fly I reccomend the nearest racetrack..

A dodge viper SRT-10 will EASILY hit 170, no problem man. Learn your shit before you come on here putting other people down.

[GraziLovesMary]

How could you when all german cars are limited to 155MPH

This statement confuses the shit out of me... where did you get that impression? When I lived in Germany, my friends dad got a brand new Porshe 959 and took us out on the Autobahn. We got up to about 180, 190.

As a driver, the fastest Ive ever gotten my cars up to, is about 115-120, but I would do it pretty regularly in my Escort. Late for work a few mornings, I even changed lanes at that speed. The car in the left lane was going slow so I came up in the right lane and squeezed in between the car ahead of me and the car in the left lane with inches to spare on either side, the car slid at an angle for about 35 feet, tires caught, and dipped the fuck out.

I cant wait until I get behind the wheel of a fast car...

After more research I have actually found that it is only BMW, Audi and Mercedes that have agreed to fit an electronic limiter that will stop the car topping 155MPH.

You ask the question "where did you get that impression?", like im stupid, when you dont even realise that German cars are limited. Look at the specs of any new Audi, BMW and Mercedes and you will see non of the top speeds are above 155MPH.

[TPot]

I know how fast a car goes. I know that you can supercharge a 1970 GTO to go 0-60 in ONE SECOND. It's been done. I know the Veyron tops at 407(253mph?) km/h. I know cars.

I also know that anyone can, and will, say whatever they want, just because they can.

I'm not putting anyone down. I'm just saying alot of this is just really hard to believe. Seriously, be skeptical. How many people have superbikes or can really drive 170mph. I'm sure a few can, and do. I'm also sure that a few don't, and lie about it. And the point I was trying to make was -
nobody will ever know the difference.

I'm just saying, when someone says "Yeah dude some guy just picked me up in his Ferrari when I was talkin to him and took me around at 200 mph", you can accept it, or you can realize that someone just wanted to make a cool post. So for real, I know alot of you are being real, and without a doubt some aren't. Either way, it's just the internet.

Peace out and I didn't mean anything harsh. :thumbsup:

apparently you havent been to florida, busa country. i could care less if you beleive me or not im not trying to impress anyone i was just simply replying to the question asked.so you can think im making it up if that makes you feel better about yourself but what do i have to gain maybe some people that i will never meet will think im cool. come on be serious and just because you have never driven over 105 dosent mean you have to be a dick to everyone that has.:thumbsup:

One of the most dangerous things i've done - the guy was using cruise control and didn't have his feet anywhere near the pedals, he was steering with his elbows and.. yup.. pissed as well.

No, if I was trying to insinuate that I thought you were stupid, I would come right out and say it. However, there are American cars that have either mechanical or electronic limiters on them as well. They are quite easy to bypass, as long as they are sold with the limitations, thats all anybody cares about.

[Markass]

in a car...only 155mph..a friend's trans am

I've always like the idea of 180 on a crotch rocket though...maybe someday

Perhaps i was wrong it may be more like 3 seconds, i've never timed it. But think about it a bike dyno at 178hp weighing 420lb full tank can accerlate hard. I would challange any road car to a 70 mph roll-on. Hell im still in first gear at 70mph.

Ok i just want to share my biggest rush on a bike. Taking off at the drag strip full lean on tank while slowing rolling on the throttle. The trick is keeping the front tire just floating no more than 1/2 inch all the way up to 100 mph redline. Just as the tach hits 12k rpm i crack the throttle and the bike launches forward and starts pulling the front about a foot off the ground. Grab second and hang the tire still about a foot and grab third for a short wheelie then finally staying down long enough to grab fourth. Well thats 9.9 seconds and 150 mph of the most fun possible, uh except sex.

I don't know why I don't just keep going bc it's always completely stable and at basically 170 whats the difference, I want to know it's top speed now after boring and honing, adding a full muzzy exhaust, rejetting and adding a k&m filter after my wreck plus it looks great now bc I finished polishing the frame now I just need all new plastics.

Theres this nice straight going into a city near me(newry), I was in a friends peugeot 306(98 I think). He got it to about 120 and the car could handle it and i'd say we could have pushed it higher but we had to slow down to come into the city.

0630hrs - 100mph in a Lotus around the city center when I should have been parking it. Instead I asked the health spa manageress at the place I worked at if she wanted to come for a quick spin. I floored it around the block a couple times but didn't have enough road to go faster than that, even though all my braking was at the last second. Almost lost control (I remember the sudden urge to crap my pants once or twice). I do recall her saying all day that she couldn't stop her legs from trembling. Good ole days :)

130mph with zero visibility on the motorway on the tail of the car in front. Dangerous. For 100 miles I thought I didn't have passengers because they were so quite. they were fkn scared wimps lol.

in my 2000 civic si was about 150. been in a 01 chevy 4 door pickup doing 110 down gravel. 100 in a 98 civic on gravel... but the fastest was in my 85 monte carlo. i swapped out the rearend after i tore the first one out, and i got the speedo checked, with the speedo at 55 i got clocked doing 80. and i had the speedo pegged out shortly after that. i figured i was doing around 180 tops with it, tire size is n50-14 (27 inch di.) with 3.08 in the rear end, and .67 final drive off the tranny. at a little over 4500 on the tach. do the math yourself... i just ran out of power to push it any faster. it blew up the next day. i gave proof on my record, and have people toback me up on that.

[Frickr]

[sd6515]

oh that just threw me for a sec I was thinking 27 inch rims on a monte carlo I want to see that that's got to look hilarious lol I wasn't trying to call you out or anything if anything I thought it was a typo

[Frickr]

haha i know what you were thinkin. big rims dont look good on muscle cars. atleast in my opinion, ill save my 18's for my civic

A friend and I got his transplanted B18c5 99 hatch to 150mph.
It was on I-15 outside of Vegas. It was pretty damn cool, funny thing is getting to 130 was easy, the last 20mph was the hard part
fighting that much wind resistant is a big deal..


I also got a ticket in Mustang ranch NV clocked at 138mph going to hot import nights in cali.. the cop was FUCKING pissed and was up in my shit on how he could drag my ass to jail.. after about 30 minutes of telling him how much it would ruin our trip..

cool thing was my friend and I were in the TURBO magazine pictured on the fence watching Jojo Callus Run his first 9 sec run in the civic...:admin1:

[Frickr]

thats how my civic is, takes forever from 120+ thats when a prelude started passin me beofre that i was out front a ways

[Hilder420]

Goin about 110 on the freeway coming into houston the day after Rita was supposed to hit. we were going down the wrong side of the freeway at like 6am, sun is just comin up.. not another car in sight music blasting.. smokin a blunt... yeah that was a good morning..

[hvacr]

Drunk in the back seat of my friends dodge srt 4 doin 155. ran outta room to go any further. I love that car so much I'll be buying one soon.

[LaZ]

Every now and again I like to take my car out and push it to the limits. I know I shouldnt but it gives me a good adrenaline buzz, and is easier to do than other things which would do the same.

The fastest I have ever gone in a car was 120 Mph with just me in the car. I proberly would try to go faster but thats the top my car will do.

Whats the fastest you have ever traveled as a passenger or driver and share your stories of high speed.

Dont try this at home folks.

I wouldn't know. I'm sorry, I only travel in spaceship.

[jeepboi]

Ive gone 145mph in a Infiniti G35

and 170 mph on a Busa

Dont recommend either though, as I recently lost a buddy who was going 120 on a R1 and died, with full gear on.

be safe take it to a track.

[sd6515]

wow that is a wake up call considering I cruise at 120 and I just survived a wreck at almost 100 early this year

[jeepboi]

yeah he was in a coma for a year, and an infection finally got him. i cruise on the bike around 85-90 but occasionally throttle it to play.

[sd6515]

yeah when I say cruise I mean cruising during that break away 10-15 min not always cruise at that speed, I read that and it just sounded wrong, when I go into "sprint mode" 120 throttle it to like 150ish to play

[king of the world]

120 durin a long stretch of the highway. could have done more but the wind took ripped off my sunroof and i got scared.

[cm8883]

112 on the freeway from Visalia, CA to Fresno, and people were passing us left and right

[Closet Smoker]

187mph in my brothers roomate's 96' Camaro SS. Twin t70 garret turbos, strapped on to fully built ls1. 986hp The mother fucker spun at 85mph on 315 slicks. This was on the way nopi last year.

[S.R.H.~BUDSMOKER~S.G]

186 on a gsxr 750 and 202 on tha brand fukn new busa kings! those some fast mother fukers by tha way i dont really like vehicles with more than 2 wheels cause u aint getn away from tha cops in those slow pos`s

[sd6515]

gsxr's are great if you're shorter then 5'9" otherwise they're just way to small of a bike IMO I bought one last year and sold it very shortly after Im 6' and not a small guy so I'm a ninja guy gsxr's are just to small and snotty for me I love my zx-7r but am buy the new zx-14 I was riding one the other day and the amount of power match with kawasaki's smoothness is unbeatable for riding around and amazing on the track. I've ridden several busas and they are quick as hell but I don't like the snotyness of them

Oh yeah I just increased my fastest to 192 today out at the track after tweaking a few things and getting comfortable on the bike still frustrated because there was more in it and I didn't push it out.
