What's the fastest you've gone in a car?

[KA-T_240]

Driving:
150-155mph on the front staight of BIR. We will not go into stuff that was not at BIR

I did the speed calculator for top speed using gear ratios and all that and it is 174. If I use my slicks its between 185-190.

Riding:
I have been 140+ in multiple vehicles.

umm..top of 5th in my old coupe. wasnt paying attention to the speedo but more of what was in front of me.

went from fargo to grand forks in 35min

from fargo to minneapolis airport just shy of 2 hours (not including getting pulleg over. once on the way there, and once on the way home)

once again, not really looking at the speedo but more at the road..

To do Fargo to the cities airport in under 2 hours You would have to average 125-130mph. To average that with cities driving and of the interstate you would need to drive around 135-140.

150+ in my sti multiple times

ask max about it. the slowest i got was 107 when it started to rain about 30 miles outside of the cities.

the max called after i got pulled over and told me about his plane delay. he was just leaving denver after i got pulled over.

i did 189 in my GTO, and that was on the radar gun, the speedo said 195, 7180rpm in 5th gear. Ive had the buick to about 165, with the v6, 150 or so with the v8 since theres no reason to go any faster. Ive driven a TT C5-Z06 to upwards of 210, we werent really paying attention at those speeds since it was just upwards of 6k in 6th gear with a 3.73 rear end, that shit was scary. Just before that i almost drove it into a overpass when it went sideways around 80mph.
Also i rode in a viper GTS coupe i helped assemble. Ported heads, cam, and a paxton novi 2000 at i dont remember the boost. That car did 800+whp on pump gas and we were out doing highway pulls with bikes one night and wound it WAY out in 6th gear. Those cars are extremely loud at that speed and i didnt have the nuts to take my eyes off the road and look at the speedo. all i know is the guy on the bike said he was pushing 190 and we were so far ahead it was crazy.

fastest i have gone is 125-130 but usually i only go to 110 then decide to slow down.

[Rexwagon]

157 MPH. That was a long time ago. The fastest recent speed is probably 122MPH. GPS is your friend

[SPANISH-RICE]

gps would be nice ..

[Goodnbuzzd]
