What is the fastest you have ever driven?

Re: What a WONDERFUL POST!

Age 18: 152mph on the back roads in Alabama (attending UofA) - rolled car several times when I hit an unexpected spot of gravel

Having been on many back country roads myself - I could totally see how you wouldn't expect gravel on those roads.

they have such a reputation of being in great shape that you should pretty much be able to drive with your eyes shut.

Just did it this past summer 145 and still had splenty left, but had to get off for an exit. I think the cars' top speen is 161. I want to try it again on I-95 were its hits a straight line for like 5 miles.
This car drives better the faster you go

02' Honda S2000 ................9000RPM!

160mph in a Lamborghini Diablo. I wasnt driving, it was my dads friend. The guy races for team Lamborghini, so he knew what he was doing. That thing was fucking unreal.

..I've hit 160 for a couple of miles(you run out of straightaway fast at that speed) a few times in my stock 98' supra twin turbo..getting ready to mod it soon,but first I have to install a TRD performance clutch..after you go 160 and slow down to about 120,120 seems kinda routine

165mph in a twin turbo supra ('96 or '97 cant remember)

180mph at a nascar driving experience track (not me driving but that shit is still fucking crazy)

alot has to do with the weather temp and humidity regarding the turbos..the car really picks up and flys when its cold and crisp..but feels much more sluggish in the mid summer in alabama..high heat and humidity..I'm going to install one of those monster intercoolers that runs the length of the front grill

I have had my ZX-12R Ninja to 188 mph. I have modified it and have the speed caping sensor removed.

Once you get over 150 mph it is all the same.

Bikes are tuff to beat with speed.

Humidity actually effectively increases Octane rating of gas. Believe it or not before Nitrous there used to be water injection systems. Not many for cars but they were produced on airplanes in high numbers.

I think there is a rule of thumb that for every 10% increase in humidity you can decrease the octane rating of the gas you put in your car by half a point.

Heat slows down a car because the air is less dense and you can't pack as much fule and air into the cylinders.

i did 145 in my stock mustang gt on I-45 coming home from a rockets game. it was scary because at high speeds to much brake can make it go crazy. i was putting to much brake on because i was passing up a titty bar we wanted to go to. man it came up fast.

thats some crazy shit travis50.

my brother in law races off shore boats we did about 120 that is way to fast for me in the water.. seems like you are going way faster then you really are when in a boat.. did about 105 on the back of my brothers ninja i told him to slow the fuck down now!

Fastest car: 00' SVT Cobra R but my boss wouldn't let me hit over 50 in it.

Fastest speed 125mph in a 98 T/A and it wasn't even breakin a sweat. It wasn't mine so I didn't really want to hit it that hard.
