I wasn't driving but my uncle took me 220+ in his CV8 Monaro down the freeway. The speedo stops at 220kph so who knows how fast we were really going. The car was screaming!

210 km/h, top speed in a Toyota Carina E on the autobahn in Germany.
170 km/h, top speed in a Fiat Tipo

220 km/h is the fastest I've been as passenger, in a BMW M3 (E30) on the autobahn in Germany.

But, I wanna go faster
1. >250
2. >300

a shade under 200km/h in a '00 Grand Am (i dont think it goes much quicker...) i live out in the sticks so i did this on my street (7.5 km dead straight, short 50 zone 7km of 80 zone) 200 is quick in a shit box with the pedal to the metal thats for sure!

The fastest ive ever been is 131 mph in an Accord. Don't know how accurate the speedo was since the car is only suppose to go 118 mph.

Default 280 km/h on a porsche gt3

Well my wedding present from my wife was a porsche gt3 for 24 hours to drive.

It was an unbelievable experience and since then i am infected by the porsche virus. Sound, handling, man and the mighty brakes!!! and of course the acceleration - i'll never forget that.

On the german autobahn i did 280 km/h in the night on wet surface.
- I have to say it was a little bit too fast for that conditions, no xenon-lights, so the visibility wasn't the best. But i did it. (together with my wife (she enjoyed and my sister in law - she enjoyed it too))

One day I'll buy a Porsche GT3 - but right now i am saving money for a porsche 964 c2 with 250 hp or a 964 turbo with 320 or 360 hp.


My personal - Top-Speeds were
280 km/h - Porsche GT3 - very stable on the road up to 280 km/h :flasingsmile:
270 km/h - passenger in a chevy-nascar - charlotte/north carolina - oval circuit - very stable - i still remember the g-forces in the corners :crazyeyes:
245 km/h - Alfa 164 3.0 - showing italian performance to a following mercedes driver - stable on the road up to 225 km/h
240 km/h on a BMW Z3 3.0 - 231 hp - roof closed - would run faster - over 200 km/h not very stable on the road - and no quick acceleration anymore :lying:
200 km/h on my tuned mazda 323 turbo with 200 hp built 1986! - very stable up to 200 km/h (car would run faster) - strong bmw-diesels and also z3's only saw my exhaust pipe - uphill, also crx-drivers were very impressed by the acceleration 0-100 km/h in 7,3 sec. (hand-stopped) 8)
190 km/h on my citroen xm 2,5 TD - (would go faster) - very stable up to 190 km/h
169 km/h on my first car - a golf I - 50 hp - decending on a mountain highway in switzerland - (not stable any more at 169 ) :shock:
165 km/h on my second car a toyota starlet 1.1 - on a straight with backwind - showing japanese power to a mercedes 190 diesel who probably couldn't believe that he couldn't escape. - stable up to 160 km/h

I hit the 300 km/h barrier a few times with my crazy friends in Bangkok. The highway (toll) from Bangkok to Chonburi (Pattaya) is one of the best places in the world to check your topspeed. (26 km's straight and no traffic)
With my BMW 323Ti Compact i regulary hit the limited 230 km/h on the European highways/Autobahns


Gr,

Marcel
