**cough**110 on the clock of my own car**cough**-probably more like 100!

165 in a 355 on a track

180 in a racing prosche in the track

170 (on the clock-so more like 160ish) in mt dad's Saab Aero, which has been tuned by Hirsch before people tell me that the top speed of a 9-5 Aero is about 150mph :wink:

Humm, one day i will own a fast car lol

Dude, hit the highway!

I got 120 mph and that's as fast as my BM goes (1.8i). But I kick your asses in the corners HEHE :D

165 mph in a 355 still takes some bottle no matter where it is....and especially if you havent been driving them for long....

08-27-2003, 08:14 PM
yes they do go that fast.......had my engine re-done recently so it is perhaps producing a bit more than power than the stock 235hp. also have k & n air filter and racing chip

jabba: no matter what the outcome, always blame it on the damn traffic :lol: ........

In my own car, about 110mph. That was plenty fast in that piece of crap. Shook and vibrated, I thought it was gonna explode! Well, it kind of did, but it was intentional.

Fastest ever, was 160mph in a 911 turbo.

I'm driving a K-car, so the fastest I've been was 140km/h. That's 87mph. Hahhaa.... hurts me when I saw the fuel gauge dropped a bit.

Damn, you guys are fast. Be very careful on the road, okay?

Those little computer programmer things can remove the limiter. They are expensive though.

so far :lol: .. Ive done 110 on my car, I couldnt go any faster cus traffic was ahead. but its hard to hit top speed cus the roads are not that straight, and if I get caught goin over 100mph by the porkies, Ill be fucked 8)

novass
08-28-2003, 02:42 AM
in my A4 i went 127mph (i forgot where the limiter was 130 or 135, so i stopped accelerating early as to avoid hittin it)

in my Nova the speedo only goes to 120 and ive had that pegged a few times but i dont think it was much faster then 130. that car is VERY scary at those speeds!

in other peoples cars: 150 in a 87 Ferrari Mondial, 130 in a 360 Modena, 120 in my mom's new E500, 140 in my bros old Mustang (which could have gone much faster, it was a 93 supercharged with NOS too) thats all i can think of right now

ive gone faster in other cars but i wasnt driving them so i dont count it

200 Km/h or 125 MPH in a Camry V6 (4 ppl inside the car)
it was on the Montana Highway, on our trip from Vancouver to Yellowstone National Park

In my own car? Errrrrrr....., 0 mph.

I'm a student so I can't afford a car yet. Within six months that will change though. Although I doubt I will be able to buy a car that can do 150 or more. :cry:

Fastest I drove was 130 mph in the Volvo S40 2.0 my dad had. I have driven faster cars for work (as private chauffeur), but I can't run the risk of getting caught speeding (damnit!) since the clients will be very unhappy about that.

Don't take this as an insult, but you've got a corvette and you've only taken it to 122mph? A car with 1/4th of the power of a vette can hit 122. I wouldn't take it to it's top speed, but I would probably go to the German Autobahn and try to take it to 250km/h.

200 kmh/125 mph on a deserted airfield with 3 passengers. The car would have gone faster, but the airfield was rather bumpy so I didn't push... I'll try to find a better place next time, my car's top speed should be 230 km/h.

Damn, I'm a slow ass mother fucker. 105 and the limiter kicks in. Then again, I only have an 85 HP car. 112 in the caddy when the limiter kicks and, and she would still go strong. A friend of mine who has a Caddy was cruising 145 with a vette in detroit hehe. Those cars at those speeds = scary

120 in my econobox, around 140 in my MR2, and top max was 150 in a Volvo S40. But I've had my head out the window at 140mph... top that one! :D

Flat out in a 1990 Toyota Corolla @ 90-95MPH(I forgot, it was a some years ago). Very scary and unstable, the whole car was shaking. 163MPH in my friends tuned 94 Supra Turbo.

on this run, i got the boat to 170km/h before i had to slam on the brakes... my all-time record is 190km/h (before i got my camera) and when (not if) it happens again, i'll be sure to reach for my digi-cam.

yeah, there is some power left, but once i pass about 160km/h, the fight to 180km/h + is a difficult one to win.. but like you guys say, it can be done, again, and i'll try to get some shots of it
