145 last night

Don't get yourself killed in the Z! They only made so many of them and can never be replaced.

82 mph.. pretty fast for a 16 year old driver!

105 on my bike. 100 in my Camaro. 80 in an Evo MR(got there fast, but speed limit was 35 so didn't want to push it too much).

i was clocked running 23 mph in a 100 m dash this track season

i got up to 115 in my crappy civic with a pvc pipe air intake haha

i got up to 125 in my dad's altima on the way to cedar point after prom this year, but i didn't stay there too long, the cruise control only worked up to 90 and i'm lazy.

got up to 90 in a jeep wrangler with a soft top, blown speakers, 44" mudding tires and a 4" lift, that was fun

19 mph earlier today in my pontoon boat

61 on a speedboat

blah blah blah

with 23mph you could fluke yourway into the state championship if you cna keep it up over 100m

1975 Monte carlo with 427 all alum... = 150 mph on the AC expressway... i've never cleared so manyy exits so fast....

with 23mph you could fluke yourway into the state championship if you cna keep it up over 100m

haha yeah, but i run 11.1 and state cut in indiana is 10.9

What gearing in the rear are you running ? Hell forget the gearing I want a video of that one. there is no way you had that boat going 150 . Add all the brakes, motors, suspension anything. No way.

I had a 74 and 77 cutlass. even with a 350hp olds rocket i would not hit 150 on a good day. Not because of lack of power but aerodynamics alone

272 kmph, Fiat Couple 96 16V Turbocharged.
But that was my friends car so its a bummer that I cant drive that fast again. :)

In a Mazda 626 45mph lol. I went round a corner on the motorway at 45mph. I later saw a sign that said that the limit was 30mph. No one, saw thank god.

I had my dad next to me yesterday on my bike and he clocked me at a hair under 105. I was in my Peterbilt! lol

ive gone 147 on my bmw 650i...u can check out pictures of it in the european cars section of the forums...the thread is named as PICTURES OF ME NEW BMW 650i, its pretty nice....and fast!

Yeah, I saw that ride.. It's really nice. Why don't you come over here in Illinois and let me drive it.
hehe!

And monkeyfkker, people who ride bikes over 100 mph are insane in my opinion because there's always a risk of crashing it and it's really worse when you crash it because you don't have anything that will protect you unlike cars that have seat belts and air bags. Drive safe though man!

I had my dad next to me yesterday on my bike and he clocked me at a hair under 105. I was in my Peterbilt! lolI know I would feel safe driving near you on a highway. (sarcasm)

No, no, no. [/sarcasm]

God, that avatar is great.

No, no, no. [/sarcasm]

God, that avatar is great.so you're saying i should use.....[/sarcasm]instead of (sarcasm).......gotcha.

Yes...........

about 130 mph in a tuned mazda3 1.6 liter with manual transmission , at least the speedo says so....

272 kmph, Fiat Couple 96 16V Turbocharged.
But that was my friends car so its a bummer that I cant drive that fast again. :)

Interesting.
What were the further mods on it?
What was the final drive ratio?

I had my dad next to me yesterday on my bike and he clocked me at a hair under 105. I was in my Peterbilt! lol

Your dad can pedal pretty fast then :p

i drove a teacher 300mph up the wall due to me pissing them off lol

i drove a teacher 300mph up the wall due to me pissing them off lol


LMFAO . Yeah I remember those days...so long ago . Back in the 80s, yeah 80s I told my 7 grade english teacher to $%*# Off. Many did my mom kick my $%^. I remember that @%$ kickin like it was yesterday

Yeah, I saw that ride.. It's really nice. Why don't you come over here in Illinois and let me drive it.

Drive safe though man! There is a risk going 25mph. The worst spot for a bike is an intersection not the highway. 100 on a bike seems like a lot but really the time I did 105 it was a quick burst and then release of the throttle. Not like most people cruise at that speed.

Earlier today, in my Turbo, I hit 155mph on the track. I ran out of fuel just as soon as I was changing gear. The brakes worked with no fuel left. I pissed of the M3 behind me.

I know I would feel safe driving near you on a highway. (sarcasm)What? It's safe! lol... When I bought into this company the old owner had a Kenworth hotshot that would do over 130 without a trailer. That was a scary ride! lol




Your dad can pedal pretty fast then Hell yeah... I told him to turn the engine on but he'd rather sit on the seat and push! lol

Drive safe though man!See I don't feel that way. My bike is just as stable at 165 as it is at 65. I've gone down at 130 at Willow. The only thing that hurt was how much it cost to fix the bike. I wish I had a video of me sliding across the track on my back! lol... If you wear the right equipment you're almost as safe as in a car, unless you get hit head-on. Then again I live in Kansas now. The closest thing out here to a traffic jam is the check out line at Wal Mart! There's a lot of nice flat open road out here...

just over a 100mph in a modded rs4 and 95 in my moms 300zx

some of you have a very nice car. and clocked an amazing speed too. i am under age so i can't drive. i ever sat with my dad on a rented Alfa in Germany on the Autobahn. about 180 km/h. oh and 160 km/h. in 15 yrs. old Nissan too.

The fastest I've driven is 160 km/h (1997 Ford Aerostar Sport), and the fastest I've been as a passenger is 200 km/h in my friend 1990 Plymouth Laser RS Turbo.

I've been 70mph on a motorway....wow!!!!

135 mph in a 1-ton chevy pickup with no bed a six speed tranny and the big V8 for those.

My new speed is 120mph in my Stealth ES. I beat my old record by 10mph! When i was 17 it was 110mph, and now that im 18 its 120mph!

68 Firebird 400 4-speed-145 mph (friend driving)
70 Challenger 383 auto- 120 mph
74 Mustang II V6 auto-- 105 mph
74 Datsun 260Z 4-speed- 135 mph
85 Mustang GT 5-speed-- 140 mph
89 Saleen Mustang 5speed-150 mph
99 Cobra Mustang 5-speed-153-155 mph

135mph '06 Mustang

167,4mph, f430, local circuit, this morning
i slipped, then spinned on the gravel, bent my rims, lucky i didnt crash

man importing cars from us to indo damn preety expensive bro

how did you get an F430, you were kidding right?

Still 124.

Almost pushed 90 down a shoulder-less two lane road tonight after work.

Thought there might be a ******* cop so I just carved up the corners.

ye that question again
not long ago my dad bought it, then he hand it to me, then i bring it to indo along w/ me on vacation, then im gonna keep it my in my garage here while im goin back to us this december

A 22-year old driving a Ferrari F430.. good for you bro!

How about some pictures..

i posted it long long ago
then i deleted it

154 mph in a 2002 kawasaki zx-9r, and 120 mph in a 1995 BMW 325i
i can not even get close to the speed in the zx no more.. i think that day i was trying to get me killed, it was in a public road about 1:00 am, that one was stupid

110 with your permit? Either you're lying or I hope you crash into a telephone pole.

Nope not lying it was on i-5 going down to LA. Its a two lane highway that everyone goes at least 85 on.

Today I went 95 in the 'Burb again today. In the back of my mind, I wanted to push it to 100 but then something was holding me back. I think it was because I was worried about how it would feel when the governor kicked in.

What's your governor set to?

One time after a gaming lan (yes I'm a nerd) I touched on 110mph / 175kph on the Limerick (Ireland) bypass in my VW Polo Saloon. It was about 4:30 in the morning so I had the road to myself and to be honest I don't think It'll even go as fast again. A 1.4 lt NA car with suspension made from ground up rubber balls is not really able to run a 5500rpm for an extended period of time (i swear the undulating motion of the car didn't make me bottle it) especially since it normally runs at about 3000rpm when I driving normally.http://www.parkers.co.uk/imagecache/file/300/archive/VW/Polo%20Saloon%20%2800-02%29/polo_saloon.jpg
This is the newer version of may car mine is the "classic" version and a different colour lol:)

I'm starting to appreciate the autobahn.

165+ MPH in a 1989 911 bought by a friend of mine 2 weeks ago for $1500.
The car really needs a lot of work done, has a few minor mods (otherwise it's be stuck at 155) and we did a test ride to see how the engine is amongst others.

We had it revving at 6500rpm for about 25 minutes before we decided to throttle down and teh engine seems to be fine.
Now the suspension, that realy needs work done.
The shocks feel like they're non-existent.

Brakes make a lot of noise but the brake pads were new and the discs look fine :confused:

Have to take apart the suspension to check for play.
Furthermore, the tacho seems to be faulty.
It doesn't come up at all until 50kph (30mph) but from then seems to be rather accurate.

What's your governor set to?

I'm not too sure about that but I had a friend tell me that his friend had a Suburban who took it up to like 110 before the governor kicked in. The speedometer reads up to 100 so I'm not too sure if it will even go past that before shutting off.

my cars speedo goes to 140 but it won't actually go past 110... and it's not even governed.. haha but what can you expect from a honda

Well my cars top speed on the speedometer is 160mph but i've only gotten it up to 120mph. So I'm not sure what the actual top speed is.

Most likely around 125mph, do you have any mods on it?

Nope, the only thing that I know that isn't stock is the Stereo I got for X-mas this past year. I think that it's top speed is probably around 130 or 140 because it was still going pretty good when I hit 120.

when i went to cyprus, for a holiday with the family, my cousin, and the family picked me up from the airport, and 1 of my cousin was driving a Renault Clio 2001, and another a ford focus 2002 i think... the lio maxed out at 205 or 200 and the focus at bout 198-199.. cos the clio, was slowing moving away from the focus.... a good first impression of a clio for me.... and my uncle had a camry, the older ones, and he was stuck behind us because his car was governed to 180km/h... btw.. the story had km/h digits in it...

Did 120mph on my bike the other day cruising on the 275 loop.

135 mph or 217 kmh then the car shut off... what a bummer...

Today I went 95 in the 'Burb again today. In the back of my mind, I wanted to push it to 100 but then something was holding me back. I think it was because I was worried about how it would feel when the governor kicked in.
I think Arnald would want to race you in his Hummer!
"Laughing time is over!!!"

I think Arnald would want to race you in his Hummer!
"Laughing time is over!!!"

haw haw! I can still last longer than that Hummer going the same speed! Plus, I got a slight weight reduction from the removal of the third row seat and a rear passenger door panel.

145 mph in my turbo-coupe :D It was a thrill until the blue light special :eek: gave me the free trip to the office !!!! [-X Cost me a couple of hours of my time, license suspension and $700!!! Learned my lesson ;) only on the track for me next time.

my cars speedo goes to 140 but it won't actually go past 110... and it's not even governed.. haha but what can you expect from a honda

What Honda do you have.

i've had my saab 900se turbo up to 110

i've been in my dad's c5 vette when he's hit about 125

What Honda do you have.
I'm pretty sure he has a Civic. (From memory)

about 275 km/h in a 2005 BMW M3 convertible (belongs to my Boss).
He does not have the speed limitation in his car. He told me that he also has driven in this car about 290km/h. I wasnt tough enough to try it. ;o)))

240kph in my SS today, just after picking her up. If she ever had a speed limiter, the last owner must have taken it off :D

limiters are normaly set at 250kph, at least the german ones are.

Hey, this is a bit off-topic, but did you know that speed cameras can't flash you when you're going over 170 miles per hour....

That's untrue because the Koniegsegg (sp??) got a speeding ticket by a camera, and it was clocked in at 242 mph!

150mph in my 05 Scooby STI Prodrive ;)

Now today coming home (it was about 104 degrees outside), I didn't really set a top speed (I was on the freeway during the traffic hours) but I did set a personal record for RPMs in 1st gear. I put the pedal pretty far down and I got the Suburban to go 4,000 RPM in 1st gear! And I believe that was around 25 - 30 MPH too. But I basically did it because at the intersection, people usually have the balls to cross at slow speed when there's a yellow light at the turn lane on the opposite side when they know damn well that it will turn red like a second later and it would be my turn to cross.

215 kph in fifth gear (i forgot that the car has one more gear and i'm sure that if i put the sixth gear it will do 230kph perfectly) on a Opel Astra GTC CDTI 150hp...
I was test driving it :D... but unfortunatly it was not to buy it it was just for fun!!!

I was curious of what kind of racers we have in these forums, so i thought this might make a nice topic.
im under-age so i can't answer this, but i drove my dad's mondeo out the drive, and parked it on the side of the road.

Well I drive a 1969 Camaro SS with a twin turbo big block v8 the fastest i've driven was 197 mph.

Well I drive a 1969 Camaro SS with a twin turbo big block v8 the fastest i've driven was 197 mph.

Cool, got any photos? Excluding the the turbos it must have quite a few mods to get it to 315km/h.

limiters are normaly set at 250kph, at least the german ones are.

Yeah, Australian cars with limiters are usually locked to 180. We don't have autobahns :(

Well I drive a 1969 Camaro SS with a twin turbo big block v8 the fastest i've driven was 197 mph.

What's the capacity on that thing?

Sweet Jesus Abe, your Camaro looks so tough in that charcoal/black combo!

Insane speed too.


Ravenous, you're in WA right? Where are you doing this, is it like empty there or something?

30 mins east from my house is nothing but bush and country roads. There's some awesome dead staight sections that are a few kilometres long, and usually very quiet on weekdays.

It's not like it takes long to reach those speeds :rolleyes:

Hey, this is a bit off-topic, but did you know that speed cameras can't flash you when you're going over 170 miles per hour....

That was true a while ago when shutter speed on the camera and the lag of the shutter mechanism made the cam 'register' the car too late to actually make an image that would allow to 'read'/decipher the registration plate.

That has been solved a while back though.
Some old cameras can still be fooled that way but I wouldnt advise speeds under 260kph just to make sure. When the camera inside the setup has been replaced you're still in for trouble though.

Basically I wouldn't advise to try this at all.

Depends on the angle of the camera, too. Either Fifth Gear or Top Gear tried it out using the UK camera, which points up the road, snapping the car from behind, and the faster you go the further you get from the lens, but you still get caught. In Australia it shoots from head on, so if you go fast enough, it is possible to get your front plate out of the camera's field of view before it snaps. Don't know what the speed is exactly, but it's possible.

That also causes problems with motorbikes. Since bikes don't have regos on the front they're immune to speed cameras. A few months ago the newspaper even gave a list of the top 10 worst offenders, showing the pics of bikers who'd done upwards of 200kph through the camera and weren't able to be caught. Of course, all they did was create a freakin Hall of Fame :D

God! I do hate those cameras that flash you in the face.
Blind you for the better part of a minute during a night they do.

That is one of the things I have to get used to in germany. Cameras in the wrong direction and cops in green (camo) uniforms. :confused:

Well I drive a 1969 Camaro SS with a twin turbo big block v8 the fastest i've driven was 197 mph.That's an RS/SS and you're telling me that you went 197 in it????? Come one man... I'd like to see bigger pictures and pics of the engine

:D you have to be sceptical with al these clowns on this forum.

ok this is my fastest, 280kmh on a hayabusa. how's that! and 260kmh in a rx 7

i call bullsh!it

How do you do that ?

by pickin up the phone and calling him

the fastest i've been while actually driving a car was 45km/h. you can't go fast in empty parking lots:(

the fastest i've been while actually driving a car was 45km/h. you can't go fast in empty parking lots:(

Yes you can :D

Ed Zachary!
I'm sure some of these posting high speeds have never driven anything outside a video game!

Me? I never exceed the speed limit.....[-X














;)

Well my speed is a realalistic speed, especially for my car and age. Dodge Stealth ES - 120mph, 18.

ok this is my fastest, 280kmh on a hayabusa. how's that! and 260kmh in a rx 7

What mods were in the RX7? Or was it stock?

1st gen, 2nd gen or 3rd gen? (What series would be interesting as well) and did it use the stock engine or was the engine swapped?

260kmph in an RX-7 sounds fun, Still Way's 9 second (on street tires!) 650hp FD does that in a matter of seconds on the street outside their garage.

Started to make fresh pot holes in the road when he was warming up the tires.

*drooling*

only downside is the 240kph in a stock RX7. Then again, 240 kph is rather neat already when already having the next corner in view.

Parko, do you know that yellow FD (porsche style headlights and round rear lights) from a certain japanese tuning company?

I forgot the tuners name :confused:
Never seen it leave the starting grid either but it looked to be a monster allright

Considering the size and weight of an RX7, either generation, I'd rather not try anything over 200kph. Rolling that thing over would surely result in being killed to death.

The car is a lot more stable in cornes (2nd gen that is) when eliminating the automatic upright toe adjustment.

This toe adjustment was mazdas way of trying to counter understeer in slower corners.
Unfortunately it generates oversteer in high speed drifting, and even more, impredictable movement of the rear end of the car when hitting a mellow bump in a high speed corner.

After eliminating it the car works better for me.

Good ol' Mazda ;)


Yellow FD with Porsche headights and round tail lights... I know I've seen something like it before, I just don't remember anything else but the car, don't even remember where I saw it...


Random Porsche headlighted FD

http://www.jtuned.com/media/gallery%2Farticles%2FMazda%20RX7%20Xecre t7%2F01.jpg


I know RE-Amemiya has quite a few Porsche lighted FD on their site.

It is indeed an RE AMEMIYA bodykit the car uses.

It has the most thouroughly tuned 13Bt engine with something in the general area of 800HP

I mainly remember the engine bay and the sound.
Saw it once on Sendai drag strip.
Once again, it did not leave the starting grid :(
On it's home course it seems to be fabulously fast on the 1/4 mile though.

oh, btw, about $50 and an hour of tinkering sees you rid of the upright toe adjustment. It really improves car handling a lot.

Sheesh, 800hp is a sh*t storm of 13Bt!

I just know I've seen something like it. Sendai sounds familiar too as I remember High Performance Imports (DVD series) has filmed there.

Loads of 9 second 32 GT-R's on street tires.


Still Way's all-out circuit FD makes a reliable 700hp, very quick around T.I. Circuit.

Yeah, I remembe a guy from high performance imports being there.
He talked a lot... :|

700 HP is a lot of power for a 1.3 ltr 2 rotor engine :eek:

You've seen the DVD? Edit: Wait, you were there!?

He would have had an Australian accent. I might have to watch it again.

Random DVD anecdote: Hi Octane 5 featured a test/review/race up Mt. Ruapehu in New Zealand. I've been skiing there, travelling up tis mountain round in the slimy, narrow conditions absolutely sh*t scared in a Lancer while these two nutters are fanging a 350Z and an RX8 up it.

Damn that road is unbelievably scary. lol

yep. Had a clearly recognisable australian accent. More so then all the japanese spectators. :D

I haven't seen the DVD though :/

Oh, sh*t. That's cool.

From memory there were a lot of old school Skylines too, even had their own class.

So many insane cars at that event, so you were even there for the whole oil spill from the RB26 Laurel? (or whatever it was, maybe a Chaser) I thought that was pretty cool how the whole group of racers got together to clean up the track. You don't see that kind of enthusiasm and sportsmanship anywhere else.

Also that insane MkII Supra. Wow!

Edit: What was it you were doing in Sendai?

I drove the Murano at 100 mph yesterday on my way home from a tournament in Chicago. That was the first time the car hits 100. I haven't tried to drive the Z that fast yet. The highest speed I drove it was 85. hehe!

Hi All,

The fastest I've been was quiet amusing, it was 4:30-5am 4 summers back when my missues was late for work (from London to Notts) and some where between jnt 16-19 she hit 135mph, funny thing was that around jnt 18 she flew passed a cop volvo T5, LUCKY for us he left us (no other cars on the road). I can tell you I sh*t bricks for the next 30 minutes!

Cheers

Carl

Edit: What was it you were doing in Sendai?

I was there opening business opportunities for my uncle.
In other words I was selling trees in japan :D

The skylines were neat but I was most impressed by the 8.something second MR2. Those things are really tiny but make an awefull lot of noise.

Also liked the 2JZ powered MZ21 (1989 Soarer) even though it was beaten quite badly in the end.

Haha, sweet, I was going to say the same thing about the blue MR2.

It's lightning!

You know I think I heard the yellow FD you were talking about (didn't see it), when they were checking out one of the RB26 DR30 Skylines I heard the unmistakable buzz and braps. Then again, there were a few Rotors there.

How 'bout the 10.54 red FC? Pretty damn quick! Then there was the yellow tubbed Cosmo.

That RB26 260Z was mighty quick too and spat one ginormous flame.

And another thing, you know how I was talking of the 650hp Still Way red FD? I only realised for the first time a few hours ago that it was there too, it was lined up with the silver RB26 MkII Chaser on the run that spilt oil all over the track. Didn't see the time tough, it's red with gold and silver lipped wheels.

How loud was the yellow VG30DE Z32!?


...It's weird I'm talking from a DVD, but you were there in person. By the way, did you check out the Sendai drift action? Apparently the drift track is only just behind the strip's parking lot or something.
