What was the fastest you guys driven?

armensti · 04-24-2009, 02:54 AM

i have done 125 in my dads old 1991 lexus ls 400 which had air suspension ( scariest feeling ever ) i have done 140 in a 2008 honda accord with only 177hp. ( i know you think its not possible but i had 4 ppl in the car and it was a downhill) in the z i have only done about a 100ish or maybe a little more. ( its not how fast your going that really matters its how fast you get to that speed that I care about )

Risking your own life is one thing. But having 4 people in the car while doing 140mph is a recipe for tragedy. Imagine if something goes wrong, and you're the only one that survives? How would their family feel? How would you feel? Think about that next time you want to speed with friends/family.

That's why I never go over 80 when I have passengers. I would've be able to live with the guilt. When I pushed my 350Z to 150, I was alone and it was midnight on a lonely stretch of highway that I'm very familiar with. If something goes wrong, I'm the only one that I want it to happen too.

152 in a 2004 350Z. The car was solid and took some time to get there after about 140.

135mph in my wife's pontiac g8 GXP

galtamar · 10-18-2009, 11:22 AM

~ 130MPH in my 2003 Altima. And was scary at that speed, not very stable at all.

fuct · 10-19-2009, 04:23 PM

143 in my IS300. it shuts the fuel off at that number, which is a good thing!

alvinmathew88 · 10-19-2009, 04:37 PM

The Ducati Desmosedici is limited production, and it can go at least 197mph. It has 200hp on tap.....................

Were you on a track when you went that fast? That's pretty fkin fast..........

I was on a privately owned air strip.

The bike has a cam, airbox mods, full exhaust and a tune (179hp). The sprokets are stock and using a gearing calculator puts you about 189.

Reading comprehention FTL

CBR1000RR not 600 and I never said anything about what the speedo was reading.

Reaper42 · 10-22-2009, 02:36 AM

155 in my old stock 06 EVO

125 in my new Z

the z just doesnt get up there as fast as the evo did, but I do feel the z is faster.... idk

1slow370 · 10-22-2009, 04:32 AM

120+ pegged speedometer with larger tire circumference wheels in an m90 supercharged v6 chevy beretta(wish i had gps with me)

157 on the gauge of my 370 in a downhill would slow to 155 on straights and up hills (I was cruising on an "airstrip" for like 10 mins)

Edit: thats a typo it was a minute and a half 3 mile airstrip yup

vipor · 10-19-2009, 04:35 PM

120 is pretty easy to hit in the Z. I've done 100-110 on accident while passing, lol. I've gotten over 120, but I don't think I've reached 130. Just waiting for a TMS track day do see what I can do

jookiyaya · 10-22-2009, 04:55 AM

bout 76 mph.

alfiemc · 11-30-2009, 10:18 PM

184 in a very highly tuned audi S3, then done 160 another time with the cops behind us in the distance and turned off at a works access only road and hid there till they passed us then went home a had cookies and milk epic night

speedee911 · 12-02-2009, 11:15 PM
