How fast? Shaun Smith Car spinoff thread
 

I started a thread like this years ago, but oh well. How fast is the fastest you have gone in a vehicle. I don't care if it's street, strip, or race. I know this is a sensitive subject to some people, and I always drive about 5-7mph over, but I've taken a few rides pretty fast, nothing crazy though.

2008 Charger(non hemi)------115mph---Freeway 2am no traffic
1979 Cutlass 455 big block-----under 80-90 It's my project car and the front end is terrible, I did not want to challenge death.

I have never had a desire to go fast as in high MPH, I like 0-60 fast!!

1985 Daytona Turbo - 150 MPH street That car absolutely killed it. I can't believe how fast it was on the top end.
Have also routinely taken various cars we've owned up over 100 MPH but most govern out around 105-108.

Did Richard Petty Racing Experience a few years ago. However fast we got there... 150 or so.

I had my old Cougar up to 135 on I-55 out in the middle of bumble**** Illinois once. It wasn't topped yet, but I ran out of balls and backed down.

I did have the pleasure of driving once in Montana before they reinstated the speed limit. I was in my Monte Carlo for that one, and it really didn't want to do much over 105. However, legally passing a cop while doing 105 was really cool. :D

75MPH..............In the left lane....... All the way home.....

autobahn, 120 range, many times...

Warmed over '95 Kawasaki ZX-9, actually not sure how fast I've had it going. I found the rev limiter in top gear, just not sure how fast that is. I do know its well past 170 MPH though.
'60 Willy's CJ5 with a warmed over Corvette 327, wrapped the speedometer up to 105 MPH. Had plenty left but I was out of nerve at that point. Found out after putting a radar in my Jeep that my speedometer was reading 15 MPH slow, so that was actually 120 MPH.

On 4 wheels:
115 MPH driving ('99 Firebird V6)
135 MPG riding (Buddy's Cobra)

On 2 Wheels:
147 MPH ('05 Yamaha R1)

100-ish numerous times on a rural highway in Iowa, no way I'd go any faster than that anywhere other than a race track, shit gets real at those speeds.

160mph on my 600RR.

140 on a police chase once So. of Louisburg,Ks. I passed another police cruiser @ 120 in the left lane due to myself having a higher top end. But in the end we stopped him by a police roadblock by a P.D. from Drexel, Missouri.

Man, 115mph was too fast for me on my bike as a kid, scary! :eek:

158 in an 98 Mustang Cobra
122 on a HD Sportster 1200 Custom

Ya, it wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done. What makes it worse is that I did it on 7 Highway just east of where it splits from 65 near the Lake of the Ozarks. God knows what could have jumped out in front of me.

Bike 145MPH (TL1000)

Car - not sure probably 135 or so.

You must have balls of steel. It takes almost no time to get to 120 on a sportbike, but getting from 120 to 140 seems like an eternity. I can't imagine running wide open long enough to get to 160.
