Fastest Car you have ever been in and/or driven. Highest speed obtained?

[digger]

Been in some decent cars, but the only one where I put my foot all the way to the floor and left it there was a '75 Honda Civic. Going slightly downhill in Arizona, and I just had to find out what it was like.

It got all the way up to 89. Still had some revs left on the tach but it just couldn't push any harder. I doubt it would go any faster than that even if I drove it off a cliff, Thelma and Louise style.

back in the 80's I had a college job transporting cars for a toyota dealership
on one occassion I had taken a vehicle up to knoxville
and was bringing an early 70s civic back
I had a date to make so I was pushing that civic
figured out what the hood vents were for
to allow the release of smoke when the engine blew

A Yaris can reach 125mph, I,m sure you could no matter your ride.

I find that very difficult to believe.

 

[Mr. dB]

It does. I pushed a rental Yaris HB 3 weeks ago on the 401 in Ontario to 170kph (that's around 120mph) and the only thing that stopped me was the lack of straight line. Took me very long to reach 120 but still, the car can do it.

Oak got it right on the money:

I drove my friends moms Mercedez S500 AMG...I got it up to 120 before I pussied out and applied the brakes. But let me tell you that bad boy can fly

Ford factory built 1967 Cobra 427, my friend has it and we were on the interstate and in second gear going around 60mph when he flored it the back tires started smoking. It has 650hp and is beast

We speed all of the time at work. Technically, we are only sllowed to go 10 over the speed limit...... but we usually keep things 50-90 on city streets and 80-120 on the hightways. That's as fast as those stupid ambulance-mods will go. Now, sometimes we get lucky and get assigned to one of the older ambulances(Van-type). Thoses babies haul ass. We get over 120 on the highway. I know that isn't super fast.... but I get to do it on a regular basis.
As far as other cars when not at work: I love my grand prix but I think my Dodge Ram-Hemi could eat it for breakfast.

Fastest car was my uncle's 1970 Dodge Challenger with a built 440. We didn't go too fastbut did a few burnouts. I thought the front wheels were going to come off the ground.

Fastest I've ever been was on my 04 cbr1000rr. I got up to 176mph and got scurred.

 

[Scotsman]

Was that on dirt or gravel? On site?

Dirt on way to location, road went donw a hill and curved at the bottom, needless to say I was lucky not to crash.
