[90GSX]

I hit 120 for a brief moment in a stock N/A 2.0 and 90 in a 1.8 before i chickened out.

[SCCA Stang]

ok, here it goes:


the '93 GSX has run at 135 before I ran out of "track"

the '99 Dakota R/T was factory governed at 116 mph, but with a red line of 5 g's it was only at 4

the '93 Sunbird has a speedo of 110 but I havce had that well buried, asked the guy I was racing and he said we were upwards of 130

the '84 S-10 (small block V-8) had a speedo of 85, I've had the needle wrapped around and back to the 60 mark (what ever that is)

all posted speeds were also done under "controlled environments"

[JBone]

These runs were done in controlled environments.

Done at the racetrack, right?

I buried the speedomoter past 85 in a 2.8 powered Celebrity.

I have proof that I did 120 in a certain 1.8 Laser

focus won't go faster than 110.

125 in an assmatic laser. (FUN )

[90GSX]

Do you by chance know where that certain laser tops out at? Im kinda curious to know. Im to chicken that i will get caught trying. I think a NA 2.0 will go 136, wasnt sure if a 1.8 would too, just take a much longer time.

[AWD DSM 1]

I've had a couple v6 s-10's that were governed to 95-97

Had the 93 GSX up to 125 back in the day...

Haven't gone faster than 85 or 90 since I got two speeding tickets last year...

[Speedracer]

my first car a 94 taurus that had a governor set at about 95 and a speedo of 85, i had that car to 95 many times.
my 92 jeep cherokee i had that to 100 or so.
99 grand prix gt, governed at 117, had it there once racing a cobra.
after that a friend got a viper gts and we took that up to 186 i believe. 186 is scary, very very scary.
another friend had a 76 trans am 400ci auto, that thing rocked! about 200hp, and about 350tq, that was the car that i learned that at 140mph, the traffic doing 65-70 seems like it's not moving. also very very scary.
my 94 eclipse 2.0 n/a 140 going down a really big hill.
and my newest car a 2000 eciple gt 5sp, 125, and i have no idea what it's governed at.

[Turbo Tension]

If you subtract 10 from where my speedo was actually at I went 160. On a test track in Mexico. That makes me the fastest in CANADA!!!

[Larz]

110 down I-95. My friend was late for a flight. Had to get him to the airport fast.

[natedogg]

These runs were done in controlled environments.

HA!

[awd4kicks]

oh oh oh.....one time I hit 54.5! and I would never do that kind of speed with traffic in either direction. You never know when someone will descide to use the lane your about to pass them in.

[Super16G]

On our way down to Florida in the GSX we hit 150mph being chased by a redneck in a dually with flashing strobe lights
We were out with a bunch of the motorcycle guys and I twisted the throttle on the Triumph for a 160mph run.....With Kate yelling at me on the back
On my 94 Katana 750 on our way to Taylorville we blurred the center lines with a 150mph run on one of IL most deadly roads....RT29

[SCCA Stang]

OH yeah, I forgot about the bike,

on my 2003 ninja 500 R I went 115 before I chickened out, the factory says it will do 137, but I'll take their word for it!!!!

[MidwestDSM]

I've been 140ish in my Laser, and 138 in my buddys GSR. Pretty scurry shit...

[scorp28]

Approx. 160 in a 76 Linclon Town Car with a 460:o Speedo only read 85 but passed a friend fairly quickly that said that his speedo was reading 130
only had my car to about 122 before I had to hit the brakes for a stop sign
140 in a 79 T.A. with a 405
135 in a 79 Monte Carlo with a 283
135 in a 76 Javelin
130 in a 67 Chevy Stepside with the same 283
125 in a 87 Daytona with a 2.5
125 in a 86 Lebaron with a 2.5 turbo(swapped in)
120 in a 83 Chevy C1500 with a 305
120 in a 90? Shadow
120 in a 89 Grand Am with a 2.5
115 in a 93 Blazer with a 4.3
115 in a 91 Grand Prix with a 3.1
110 in a 86 Astro

The Lincoln was the only one that was completely topped out, the rest I just ran out of road

[PoofusJackson]

I hit about 115 in my 1.8 talon and Im guessing it prolly wouldn't have gone much higher unless I was goin downhill or had a lot more road! When I was in germany, my uncle and I where going at about a steady 280kph (bout 160 mph?)in his 5 series...gotta love the autobahn...oh and btw there were still some audi's, benzes, and bmws flying by! and a few porsches

[Temp_Me96]

Lets see:

75 Mercury Montego- 140
79 Camaro- 150 very scary the front end felt like it was floating next to a 5.0
79 Z28- 110 gears wouldnt let it do more
75 Cutlass Supreme- 150 so the speedo says with only front brakes
96 Yamaha FZR 600R- 145
98 Yamaha R1- 186 next to another R1 felt the most safe
96 Eclipse- 130
89 Rx-7- 140 felt great the faster we went did this on Uton black top.

But its really hard to say because most speedos arent accurate except maybe the R1 it seemed to get more accurate the faster you went and it was clocked.

[4g63tsi]

I got to 130 in the '97 TSi AWD then shit myself.
But more recently I got 140 in my new VW Jetta GLI VR6, believe it or not it was still smooth. Of course if you flip open the gas door it has Two sets of tire pressure ratings on it. One for under 100 mph and the other for sustained speeds in excess of 100 mph.

[KOU In3]

Cracked the 150mph mark in a Eurospec Porsche 928S. It was still so rock steady you could have took your hands off the wheel. Steadier than my beater is at 90mph

[zach]

150's on a jetted and piped r6
I had a stout mustang that buried a 140 speedo like nobody's business ,never kept going, terrible vibration
ducati monster ran out of rpms at 120
heres the kicker

88 s-10 with forged pistons( speed pro's) oh yeah! buried the speedo for approx 90

[echo]

i had the speedo burried in the laser (92 rs2.0t awd) which is about 145+ and it was still reving/pulling for a bit...this is with a few mods
