Whats the fastest you've ever driven?

Question

I've driven 140 (twinturbo Stealth) during the day and 130 (corvette)at night. People tell me they have gone 180 on motorcycles... I don't know if I should believe them. How fast have you gone? I want to go 150 but think I'm getting too old..haha...

P Kitty sadly (I think) I have to agree with you. I did that quite a few years ago with no other cars around but I think if I go now there are actually race tracks I can go to let it out!!

Answer 1

I pegged the 160 mph speedometer in a 1971 Hemi Cuda back in 1975. Did 136 on a 1974 Honda 750.

Answer 2

I have never gone above 80. But then I am also older and survived a serious car accident where the guy behind me was driving over the speed limit, didn't hear the sirens of the ambulance, didn't see the police car in the intersection and didn't stop in time - so sent me through the intersection with the police car and the ambulance, puncturing my car's gas tank and causing all of my doors to be pushed shut so that they could not be opened without the jaws of life. By the way the laws for wearing seat belts had not been passed yet - so we didn't have to wear them when the accident occurred, it just so happens that I did.

Answer 3

I went 125 on a motorcycle and 130 in a car when I was a teenager but I would never do it now. I value my life more now than I did then. I don't have that feeling of immortality anymore.

Answer 4

In my 1996 4 cyl. Ford Escort LS on a three lane highway close to Toronto. Going dwelling house after a CD launch social gathering, it substitute into approximately 2:30 am and the line substitute into abandoned. My x-spouse substitute into napping (handed out) interior the passenger seat, and that i substitute into nearing an prolonged slow downhill grade so I punched my foot to the floor and by applying the time I reached the backside of the hill the spedometer examine one hundred fifty km/h... needless to say, it substitute into astonishing to be going that quickly in a crappy little motor vehicle! :-)
