I hit 125 in my old Accord V6 before chickening out. I have only gone up to 110 in the Max....

An indicated 140 on I75 just before Miami. The car was rock steady and was done before my mods. I think that's about all she'll do since the RPM's were around 6K.

Mine is 226, 1 week after I got the car, with 2 guys in the car.


Oh, did I mention that that's 226 kilometers? 141 miles.

Oh, did I mention that I bought a demo with 3000 miles on it?


Drive safe,
Have you been a good driver today?

136mph in my 88 supra turbo and two passengers and the roof off.
130mph in my '89 CRX Si and a lot of rear-end float.
167mph in my buddies '93 300zx TT.
125mph in my Maxima (not pushing it)
85mph in my old '88 Dodge Dakota
100mph in my '84 RX-7 GSL-SE

I don't like driving overly fast in a FWD car. Scares me much. That 130mph in the crx was the scariest thing to be in at that speed (suspension was tuned to be nimble...)</b>

That's because I don't want to incriminate myself...

Listing the Y pipe doesn't help either...

The po-po's are everywhere...

122mph ..........haven't pushed it yet though

I've done about 122mph in my Max when it only had about 880 miles on it (my friend who owns a new BMW3.28 was taunting me on the road and I just had to gun it a little) and I've done about 127mph in my dads'92 Camry that has an impressive grand total of 223,000 miles on it.

I wouldn't say it incriminates yourself. Unless you explicitly state where you did it (like some have done here) all I said is I did 110 and I don't have a radar detector. That implies I was on a public road but I have not stated that I was or wasn't. Besides, I don't think traffic cops are gonna be sending us tickets based on what we've claimed to do.

My speedometer goes up to 140, so I can only estimate my fastest ever at 145+ mph. I found a long Texas straightaway on which to experiment. (Thank God, no longhorn steers nor Brahma bulls had jumped the fences in front of me: Just one giant s-m-a-c-k away from 2 tons of hamburger!) It took a long time to get up to that speed, and I don't think it had anything left by the time I got there. My car really didn't get loose, but I don't recall feeling well-planted, either. Drive careful, now. Y' hear?

my speedometer read 126mph

And I was pushing it too! The car wouldn't budge past this. It just stayed at a steady 126mph (drag limited?)
