120+ in my 1971 chevelle. Funny thing is is that its hard to tell how fast you're going when the needle dissapears into the dash on those old school sweep guages. And not bad for a 3speed with no overdrive - it just kept wanting more.
My friend was doing 145 in his Honda CBR600F4i on the freeway in San diego and got pulled over. He had priors, went to jail, had to go to a coinstar machine with all my spare change to help bail him out....bikes are dangerous.
I stopped all my crazy driving after I crashed my chevelle, it was a sad day.

well, the 71's went backwards down the road anyway. you know, 4 tail lights and 2 headlights as opposed to 70s and earlier that went the right way
j/kgot pics? always loved chevelles. i want a 66 myself.
what'd your chevelle have in it? buddy of mine has a 1970. it's an origonal 396SS body and frame but it has a worked 350 in it. when he had the 4speed in it, he saw the speedo at 120mph in 4th gear at about 4K rpm.
we were going down the highway one day racing a Dodge Ram with the V10. his speedo cable had broken, so we had no clue how fast we were going. however, the tach was between 5000-5500 rpm for about 15 miles. that was scary fast in that car. the engine roared so wonderfully going that fast. the scary thing, however, was his rear-end. it was slightly twisted (he was a dumbass for taking the car up that fast with a bad rear). the rear end was twisted maybe 1- 1 1/2" at the time. every time we hit a little bump on the concrete highway, i could feel the ass end of the car get up and dance a little across the road. he didn't feel it, but i did because i was sitting in the back.
he fried the 4 speed shortly thereafter (he can't drive stick very well, at least not in that car, he was ultra rough on it). cracked the bellhousing on it almost all the way around. he put a 3spd auto in it afterwards and a new rearend. car was still fast as hell, but the gearing in the rear wasn't as good for takeoffs.
Burried my 97 formula 160 plus? Needle kept going (piss drunk)
Burried my moms 92 Acura Legend several times with and without a licence 140 mph + oh yea once in the rain
Got my 93 Jeep Grand Cherokee speedometer to go all the way around once in the rain also
Burried my 87 Supra Turbo onece drunk and bout lost it when this turn all of a sudden flew up 145mph +
I drive on the crazy side most of the time.

I hear ya. My first car was a '79 Trans Am, 6.6 Liter, 413.
Had the "Screaming Chickin" on the hood and everything. We new a buddy of mine's mustang would go 155 so we were both doing about that on the highway out in the country late one night, and we were right next to each other which made it feel even stranger. After we both let off.....we got that adrenaline crash you're talking about. Man ...I miss that car.

well I had a '73 beetle I got up to 95 mph.
Other than that my '91 acura legend I got up to 150mph, I usually hold 110mph on the way from Baton Rouge to New Orleans since I hate driving back and forth on the interstate when I have to.
When I was valet parking I drove vettes and the Hot Rod magazine Test Camaro. I still felt the BMW M5 was the fastest, but downtown the cops will get you so I didn't get it out of second gear.
