What was the fastest you guys driven?

In my last post, I hit those speeds on a rally to vegas. Back roads, with open stretches for days.

I topped out a 350Z on the back roads to vegas too. It was a rev-up engine and it took forever to get to the limiter. I barely tapped on the brakes at high speeds in that car and it was really sketchy.

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.

galtamar · 10-18-2009, 12:22 PM

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

Nevada has a 75mph limit on interstates. God help you if the State Police catch you doing over 85.

190? Sorry, no way. All Japanese bikes are electronically limited to a maximum speed of 186. And the Kawi Ninja 1400 is the fastest ricer.

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..........

lando76 · 10-18-2009, 12:53 PM

158mph in a 04 sti ca-99 buddy was passed out in the passenger seat
had no clue. Looking back wasnt that smart even though it was 2am and the freeway was empty.

Not to mention the speedo's aren't 100% accurate on sport bikes, there is a calibrated error so even if you read 190MPH your at best only going between 170-179MPH which isn't happening on 599ccs.
