Default How fast have you ever been?

Well, i believe everyone have already "flewby" a litle, or a lot. So, in wich car you have traped your top speed, and how it was?

My top is with the Corsa i made the Getaway - see the topic "My first own getaway video, and i´m just 16 years old..." - in a highway here in brazil i have traped about 183 km/h with it, wide open throtle during about 5 minutes.

The corsa is not mine, it´s my mom´s car, a 1.0 liter engine with 60 horsepowers. In city streets, my top is 170 km/h. You can see in the video i made. If you want it, take me on the ICQ or MSN Ã*´ll send it to you.

187mph in my Z06. Scariest thing I've ever done and I'll never do it again. The steering started to get light and I almost shit my pants. I know it'll do the better aprt of 210mph, but I don't think it'll ever get there with me driving.
:shock:

oh damn, boeing 747s dont count huh?

130 in the bimmer on I-5 by grapevine, 140 on that back of a GSX-R on 99 nearish visalia. in the bimmer it was quiet until I rolled the windows down, the wind noise was LOUD!!!the GSX-R; I had a helmet on, but it loud too. I'll never do that again. I was 18 and therefore stupid.

I drive 55 sometimes just to see what it's like, it's very relaxing actually. I sorta like it.

Yeah, i´m talking about what´s the fastest you have arrived in a car that you was driving, not in a car that you were the passenger.

If i talk about i´m being the passenger, i´ve already saw the landscape passing in my side at about 270 Km/h, on the back of my uncle´s CBR 1100XX. Awesome.

Did 230km/h in my mom's car once, because I was feeling like a jerk (and driving like one too). Wide open highway, and I came up on a guy doing about 190km/h in a Dodge Ram V10, and thought 'what the hell'.

Nothing like getting smoked by a Volvo station wagon.
