148 mph on a '84 900 Ninja 145 mph in my '94 Imp. SS 145 mph speeding ticket in a 45 mph speed limit in my girlfriend Challenger back in '78 at 3 a.m. 150 mph in the deuce and still had more after shifting into 4th at around 140. Backed out of it because I did'nt what to die that day. Hopefully 180mph this year.
157 in my old 05 SRT-4 146 on one wheel on my cousins yamaha r6 (yea, that was retarded...but fun) 140's in a 08 Z06-just riding and, alot higher than that riding in a buddys 1100 HP 67 Camaro...no idea on actual speed though.
so far using my gps said 135mph in my 48 coupe still had more go..on the 55 freeway.has stock 350 roller motor with 3.42 rear gears and 6.70 firestones out back....
does on the water count?? done 106 mph in an race boat with two blown merlin big blocks on folsom lake...
Fastest I have ever driven a car was 180+ in a modern sports car, I have piloted a Mooney airplane a bit faster tho. In a HAMB friendly car? Hmmm... Vauxhall is capable of 100 but it gets pissed off past 80. 58 Bonneville, was pulling for quite a bit after I buried the speedo at 120 IIRC. This was on the Florida Turnpike. Probably risking death doing that on coker repops. Had a Porsche 356A with a built 912 motor past 120 I think. Did over 130 in my old E-Type But the Bonneville was a real fun car, I had a horrible habit of driving it like a complete and utter lunatic, not crazy in traffic but every time I had it on the highway I just had to hit 100+ when the road opened up. Got pulled over once doing well over 100, cop didnt know whether to lock me up or admire the car, in the end he wrote me for 74 in a 70 after a stern talking to. I did drive that car down to Orlando once averaging over 70...
My Dad let me buy a 69 Mercury Cyclone with a 428 Super Cobrajet when I was 17. It would go 130 and I did it as often as possible. God really does watch over the innocent and fools.
Let's see... 170 on an O/T bike (crashed same bike at 140 and lived), had to use math to get speed in a Big Block Ranchero 'cause the 120 speedo was buried (math said 142 without drivetrain loses,and aero drag probably less than 135.(went 107.65 in 1/4 mile in same car) Almost 120 with white knuckles in a sloppy '64 Galaxie "brick" - only tried it once with that car. Scary. Went as a passenger in a few traditional rat rods over the years, but who puts a speedo in a rat rod? Over 120 I'm sure but unconfirmed.
174 mph in a viper. we were in the top of fourth gear. 2 gears left! had to shut it down due to traffic. what a rush. i did have my bone stock 51 fleetline with 216 and 3 on the tree up to 97 mph.
I schooled a riced up Honda yesterday in my 36 GMC, I didn't think I could beat something that light, also fart cannons and stickers have to add at least another 150 horse! I've not had the truck very fast, only 150km, but I have no desire to drive fast all the time like I did as a teen, I just like to be able to punch I and make things behind me small... that makes me happy!
145mph in a nissan altima coupe. kid from school drove me home one day ~105mph in my 55 chevy pickup....... with bald shitty bias plys scared shitless in the truck hahaha
150,,approx ?? in a 69 mustang built big block with all the goods 2.. 4 setup..on an on running 300 gears 28 tall tire tach pegged at 6400 car started to lift steerring got real wobbly got it shut back down without crashing put the 456 gears in it next day..lol not a top end guy things get real strange at that speed but was young and dumb at the time
121mph in an '89 Pontiac Grand Prix. Being young and dumb but I got home safe. Not proud but it was fun!
191 in a friend's porsche... 181 in my old porsche... did that near daily on a lonely toll road in so-cal 178 GSXR... (above all GPS verified) on topic stuff: 147... in 1/4 mile... in a friend's '64 nova 130 in my old SBC powered Dodge Brothers RPU 118 in my old 383 powered '55 plymouth. 24mph on my 1962 Bird mini bike with original tires that were as hard as a rock. fastest 24 ive ever done...
Anybody wants a Bonneville Altered that has been 200 before call or write. ten grand will put you in your own Altered coup. I went 208 in it. $7,000 with out the engine.
No speedo.. but, according to the tach, the tire size, r.p.m., gear ratio and my less than stellar math skills I got my old Valkyre up to 164 m.p.h.. (1969 Z28 302 powered) 'round 1979 or '80. -Dave
176 in my SUV on the way to carisle on rt76 because my father asked how fast will it go,may have gone faster but the right front runflat tire came apart at that speed due to a defect that was recalled two months later. thanks goodyear i will never feel the need again now that i have a family to watch over srt8 jeep gc
140...in a 67 Vette, purchased NEW....he still owns it! Good job Fritz, I almost married his sister.....She was just as fast!! What a set of _ _ _ S!
Mate, half your luck but you sure your in the right place!!?? Doc. (Yeah, I'll admit its all jealousy based hazing!)
105 in My Chevy II at Charlotte Motor Speedway. (Not a big deal) GPS confimed and a new Vetter confirmed **100mph on the Bonnieville Salt Flats in the my '24 T Touring** (It felt like 200MPH in the old flibber on bias ply white walls!!)
