Fastest You've Ever Driven

[prohornblower]

Not sure if this has ever been a thread but it seems like a cool topic, as almost all of us probably knows the fastest we've ever driven.

Mine is 120-125mph on FM1862 near a town called Blessing, TX (about a half-hour East of Victoria). I was with my gf and we were heading back to Houston from my brothers house in McAllen way down South.

It was in my old 1998 4-cyl Ford Contour and it was maxed out. Not too much vibration, and the visibility was awesome so I could see there were no cops or any cars around whatsoever. This was back when I was about 22 or so, and looking back on it, it was really stupid and wreckless. I'll probably never drive that fast again but it was fun!! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

So, what are your stories, OOT??

On the way to a Tigers game a few years back, my friend got a flat tire. The game was at 8:00 and we got back on the road at 6:30. We were in Grand Rapids, 2 1/2 hours away. He wanted to call off the trip. I said no and drove his car ~120 the entire way from GR to Detroit. We were in our seats in the middle of the first.

240 km/h. It equals 150. It was in Germany when we went from Belgium to Austria on a skiing trip with some friends. Pretty awsome.

What kind of car?

When I was 17, I was driving on some back roads on the way to the city. I got my parent's Intrepid up to 120mph and passed some people walking alongside the road. They probably [censored] their pants.

The fastest I've ever driven is about 115 mph in a 1999 BMW 3-series in some stretch in the south during my drive from New Orleans to New York. About an hour (?? don't remember too precisely) out of NOLA, there's a stretch where it's just a straight shot and no place for cops to hide and this lasts for a while.

The fastest I've ever gone in a car where I wasn't driving was 120 mph in my friend's dad's 1997 7-series going around the southern tip of Manhattan (the stretch between the west side highway and the FDR drive.) Boy, that car can fly; it felt like we were doing 70, and so smooth too. Suspension wasn't too soft, and not too stiff. Just perfect. That car is awesome.

125 in a Lexus SC400. Could have gone a lot faster but got scared.
