What was the fastest you guys driven?

u155282 · 04-21-2009, 10:48 PM

145 in my 00 eclipse gt is my high score. It actually felt pretty solid believe it or not.

I've also hit 135 on my 01 gsxr but that was really scary. The guy I bought it from said he took out the limiter and had done 175 on it - I found out the hard way he was lying. I was around 13-14K and accelerating when my throttle cut out. Thank God the road was straight and no one was on it.

Over 160 on two wheels

NeedforZ · 04-21-2009, 10:48 PM

Drove some back roads this past weekend and got up to 105 in the Z. Really wanted to keep going but I only have 400mi on the clock. Trying so hard to be good and break it in half way right.

JB1 · 04-21-2009, 10:55 PM

No Z yet, will order one within a week or two. But fastest I've driven is about 150 in a friends Lotus Esprit Turbo

marcussoori · 04-21-2009, 10:56 PM

160 in my old '02 M3 SMG (delimited of course), on the track...my 370Z feels like it accelerates faster to lower speeds, not sure yet if it pulls better at higher speeds too...any past E46 M3 owners here?

Whow, great question....

I would have to step back about 26 years to an old WW 2 runway in the North of England.

My uncle who was a Part time Rally Driver had a number of fantastic cars in his garage on Sunday's we would head North to take the cars out for a " Stroll " as he would call it.

If memory serves me correctly:

Jaguar e-type = 130 mph

Jensen FF Mk 11 = 140 mph

TVR Vixen S2 = 101 mph

Now in the Z I just purchased. Easily a 100, but just for the odd short spurts.

Not really after the top speed as much as the windy roads, which there are plenty here in the Hill Country of Central Texas.

import111 · 04-21-2009, 11:07 PM

Modded 05 STi 150 mph.

M.Bonanni · 04-21-2009, 11:10 PM

Somewhere in the low 170mph range in my time attack 350Z at Auto Club Speedway.

ct63084 · 04-21-2009, 11:54 PM

I don't know if this counts but when I got a incentive flight on a f16 and the pilot let me fly/drive the plane for like 10 minutes i was going like 500-700 mph.

chrisw169 · 04-21-2009, 11:58 PM

I have done 135 in a mercedes once... felt as smooth as could be and would have pushed harder but i ran out of road...

Forrest · 04-22-2009, 12:05 AM

135mph in 05 350z while dad screamed like a girl. Will never do it again. Im okay moving slow.

NeedforZ · 04-22-2009, 12:09 AM

I got up to 140 knots one time in a Cessna 172 on a rapid descent. So that's about 161mph. Yep, and I was behind the wheel... uh I mean the yoke

WShade · 04-22-2009, 12:18 AM

Ran out of road at 187 in my buddy's modded '90 ZR1.

ssqpolo · 04-22-2009, 12:35 AM

180 in a de tomaso pantera. blew a head gasket

KillerBee370 · 04-22-2009, 12:41 AM

143 in my wifes Boxster.
145 in my Evo IX.

Only 120 in my 370 but that'll all change come October because I plan on running the Texas Mile. Now that I have been tuned with mods and no speed limiter, it should be interesting. I am shooting for 170.
