What’s the fastest you’ve driven?

[Moose83]

Around 1,000 mph, wheels up.

You win...

I think I hit 40mph in Grandpas International down the big pasture hill when I was 12. I missed a gear and we went for a ride in neutral. Way more exciting than any of the 120+ mph stories down gravel roads I have.

How I stayed in that seat is beyond me.

165 on a 1000cc Yamaha and 140ish in a Mustang GT

Car -05 Mercedes E500. (160mph) I miss that car lol. Young and dumb crashed trying to go over 100 on a on-ramp at night while it was raining


Truck - 02 Toyota tundra (105mph)

Only about 160 on a gsxr1100. 150 on the slow bike at Daytona in the rain. Around 150 in a mustang. Honestly after racing, speed isn’t that scary.

Now the quickest car was a 700 ish hp firebird. Actually pretty respectable for a car and it was the slow one in the shop. Turned out the it had a bad coil and only ran on 7 cylinders. Neighbor kid who works there has an 850 hp ls swapped 350z, fastest car in the shop was a 1050 at the ground vette. Went 220 in a standing mile.

my high school Nova would do 0-140 in a quarter mile.

it would do 140-0 in ½ mile.

kids now will never know the thrill of V-8 power and drum brakes!

Do you guys think if it goes wrong at such high speed that the human mind can proceed the thought of “ this is bad, I’m gonna die !?”

Or do you think the mind glitches and it’s over ?

I had a few instant(ces) where I was having a debate in my head weather I was going to die or just wind up in the hospital...
coincidentally, I didn't die, lessons were learned and things were sold...

I got mom's minivan going over 100 driving past Mormon lake while my buddies were mooning everybody we passed from the back seats. Someone flashed their headlights at me so I slowed back down to 55 and we came upon a sheriff parked on the side of the road a mile later. As you can see, we were pretty cool back then

2001 Yamaha r1, speedometer stopped at 299km/h(185mph) but the tachometer didn't stop, who knows? Haha

 

[Ice-kub]

Zo6 Vette 173
Honda V65 154
My Duramax shuts down at 100

Those v65's were no joke! Absolute beast of an engine, ahead of their time.

Most of us can’t remember yesterday or our kids birthday!…but what’s the fastest you’ve drove? EASY
2000 Chevy Silverado ext cab pewter in color with the 5.3 governed at around 97ish, Speedo went to 100. Back in 03 around February 5th at 3:15 pm I got it up to at least 115mph, according to the state troopers radar that he showed me back at his car. (Reprogrammed it with some hypertech programmer I bought off eBay like a smart kid does)

135 in a 2007 V6 Honda Accord. I had a 1977 CJ5 V8 when I was in high school. The speedometer only went to 85 if I remember correctly. One time on the turnpike I averaged 120 going two exits. I figured it out based on the time on my ticket for the toll booth. I have no idea how I didn't die driving like that with 33's and a lift.

 

[Yoder]

Once I had a geo metro up to about 85. Talk about living on the edge..

They would do 90 if you had it to the floor going downhill with the windows rolled up. I beat the hell out of that car.

 

[menhaden_man]

My son’s Honda Recon, maybe 35 mph. Real white knuckle experience!

 

[jcaud]

Grandpa had a Challenger and I wanted to see what it’d do, only got to 115 before I got caught in traffic, but it did it in short time.

Had an ‘05 Focus that I got to 105. A couple hundred miles later I was driving down a main road in town and one of the back wheels came off and left me stranded for a bit.

reminds me of all the basically stock jeeps with V-8's and 35's back in the day. They'd go places we shouldn't have been but, 60 on the highway was the scariest ride!

 

[mgray]

My wife just bought a new Expedition and the dash is all a TV screen. I asked her, "How do you know the top speed if it doesn't have a gauge?"

 

[prm]

Mid 150s every lap at Summit Point on my old R6s. I think I hit 160 a couple times.

I had a rule with my 890 Duke that I had to go over 100 every time I rode it. What a fun bike!

Jet, ~1500 mph. A little over Mach 2 with a big winter jet stream tailwind.

 

[skmoore108]

About 110 in a 328i, nothing crazy

The couple I saw coming were definitely like this
