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

[civic91]

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]

the gps speed is one of the features i really like about the nav units

140 In a car

186 on a busa with a speedo healer

[Guest]

145+ (ran out of speedo)

[torbs]

125ish in the good old Del Sol for around half an hour...got 32mpg that tank! i was impressed

I have had my fiero gt to 135, had our porsche to around 155, my only 97 camaro could do about 175 before it ran out of steam. My current WS6 TA I had to about 150 last week. Although the fastest car I have ever ridden in was a 1970 plymouth superbird with a 440 and a 4 speed, my dad says we were doing 180+ before he let off. Not sure if he was full of it or not, but it was scary fast.

Hmm... I think I remember the time ur talking about... that'd prob be the fastest i've been...

Umm other than that driving prob 130 in the crx... and somewheres around that or over in josh's ek... didnt really look cuz i was scared shitless trying to just keep it on the damn road...

I've ridden in the ek at prob 140+ where there used to be a seat, just holding on to the cage... not the brightest idea i've had, but it was fun...

Also 140 in an sti around corners...

An 87 325is will not go 150 without serious engine work. Was yours turboed?

150 on the BIR front straight is really moving. Was this in one of your 240s?

yeah the slow one

[capitlj]

I ran the cougar up to 133 indicated, but that was with the 265's which were about 3.5mm larger than the old tires so probably close to 140. 175 once with a busa, great idea for a guy with my limited riding experience.

wasnt turboed, but the computer wasnt stock. Im pretty sure the speedo was fairly correct, because the few times i had speeding tickets in it, the clocked speed was right on. uggh i miss that car.

To be totaly honest with you, i dont remember what computer it had in it anymore, i sold it a few years ago. I bought it used from a guy at the Minot Air Base. I do remember the shift into second gear would turn you the other direction if you werent carefull. been there. I do remember the tranny was a zf 4-hp22 cause i had a heck of a time replacing it, i bought 2 of them and both didnt work, i ended up rebuilding one.

[SPANISH-RICE]

lol sorry, unfair joke. a p28 is a OBDI honda ecu, the most baller one to be exact.

[Goodnbuzzd]

LOL, Sorry, Im not a honda man, id have never caught that if you hadnt pointed it out. :drunken_smilie:

[SPANISH-RICE]

lol no im sorry, like i said, unfair joke

Yes. I only went that fast 2-3 times on the straight, did not want to push the car that hard and break stuff when there is a corner ahead. Most the time I cruised around 130 on the straight so I did not have to pass cars that were faster in the back section(was my first event). After I got used to the bank I could take turn one pretty fast.
