Me and my buddy buried the needle in a Camry on a nice flat country road. Speedometer maxed at 140mph so I'd guess we were somewhere in the 130-140's range. Definitely starts to get a little scary when you get up there.

I also did 120 in a minivan on the track at the Michigan International Speedway.

This guy was so sick. Averaging 120 on the Paris Peripherique with top speed of around 190. Obviously he died in an accident the year after in an attempt to break his record.

Between 135 and 140 in a 1992 MB C280 down an old country road (This was probably back in '95-'96). I don't remember the exact speed at the moment, but it was definitely over 135.

Most recent was 118 in a '98 SL500 a few months ago (old country road again).

Both times were pretty scary, but worthwhile. Also, the cars didn't seem to be anywhere near their peak... It was just time to slow down.

Once you become concerned that glancing at the speedometer to see how fast you're going will affect your driving, it's time to slow down.

180 indicated on a friends 2002 hayabusa

when it hit 150 and was still pulling like a raped ape, that was the scariest part of the entire thing.

165MPH in my 2002 Z06:


The dumbest speed related driving I've ever done was going 105MPH in a friend's Neon on I90 back when Montana didn't have speed limits. That felt many times shakier than 165 in the Vette.

thats kinda expensive... what does it do so much better than the one I asked about? I think mid range would suffice, right?

They all do the same thing, no?
