Fastest You've Ever Driven

[N 82 50 24]

170 mph in an M6 on Highway 93 south of the Hoover Dam (the road that connects LV to Highway 40). It didn't even seem like it was fast, that car is so smoooth.

There's a great 20-30 mile stretch of flat and straight road there. See this for more info: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Las+Vegas,...c=addr&om=1

130 in my brother's Z28 LT1 on a narrow 2 lane country road. I had just shifted into 5th and had to slow for a corner. Btw it had a 6th gear that I never had the privelege of using.

Pfft, the real interesting thread would be "Fastest You've Eve Driven While Blowing a Load".

I hit 120 mph while racing my friend on South I-77 in Cleveland in my '97 Honda del Sol VTEC.

EDIT: It felt fine. I could have easily gone another 20-30 mph faster if my car would max out that high. Being low to the ground significantly helps at those speeds.

Back when I had more testosterone than good sense, I new the topend speed of nearly every vehicle anyone in my family owned.

I had my grandfather's Buick Lesabre in excess of 120 a couple of times and it was still accelerating. Maybe that's why old people drove them.

Another time, I owned an 85 Toyota Supra and had it close to 130. I realized that if I blew a tire that I would end up being ground burger to the vultures. I was on a slight decline and this certainly helped me.

I am 33 and probably haven't been over 95 in a decade.

Back in '87 I had just bought a brand new Corvette and wanted to see what it could do going from Philly to Atlantic city. On the AC Expressway I manage to hit 147mph then pooped my pants and backed off. Still don't think my balls have dropped back down.

115mph in a 1994 Ford Crown Vic with police pkg. Speedo went to 140 but the car was starting to shake quite badly. I was 16, and it was on I280 in Iowa.

240 km/h in my parents 1990 Volvo on some very bumpy northern Ontario backroad. So stupid
