Fastest I can recall was 135 indicated on speedo in eagle talon. 125 indicated on speedo on my VTX1800.
I thought about asking this question to you all just as I was in 3rd on an on ramp and getting moooving... Now though, it seems when I get up to about 90, I back off. Perhaps too many speeding tickets (and that 1 pesky criminal speeding charge). I need to get to a track... |
I've heard an '88 Carrera 3.2L will redine 5th gear. That's about 150. A turbo miata will redline 6th gear, that's about 130.

Now THAT'S movin' and grovin'. The SC is just starting to get lively once it hits the redline :) |
150 in my Andial modded 1979 930, on the 405 South , 3 am.it was back in the early 80's

I'm not much of a speeder. I hit 125 on a short straight away in my '72 911E & never tried anything more after that. Zipped my bike to 130 once to see how it felt. Went about 140 riding with a friend in his '57 Corvette in 1960. That was when electronic ignitions first came out & he wanted to see how it would run after getting one installed.

Two weeks ago, my '86 944 went the fastest its ever gone with me driving it. I built it as my A-B car, it hasn't seen more than interstate speed limits. I ended up in a chase with a drunk driver, and did not get a police response from highway patrol, or the big city I was in, the drunk was also speeding, and when he came up on cars, I'd lay back, then catch back up. I never looked at the speedo on the catch back ups, but a google map look at the path/time reveals an avg speed of 80MPH. I know I topped out 3rd, and went somewhere in 4th at one point.
Finally got to a small town police dpt, town possibly smaller than Andy Griffith's Mayberry, driver of the vehichle I was following went off in handcuffs with those guys. Thanks to small town police departments. (a fifth of the driver's blood was alcohol) |

160 on the track. 140 on the road. Both in my old 930.
|
155-160 in my 997. Not sure on a bike. Probably 125.
|
Once I almost hit 70mph in my Carrera. Crap that was fast!
|
180MPH (indicated) in a 993 Turbo.
|
Closed road in Mexico.
157 in '98 Buick Regal GS. |
140mph on a track as a passenger my father was driving and that was plenty fast. On my own about 120mph.
I was 19 at the time. The car was a modified Holden Monaro (Aussie muscle car) my dad owned. Very similar to this one. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1383657779.jpg |
Mid 50s on the bicycle. Topped an indicated 140 in a Callaway Supernatural back when that car was new. '95ish? -J
|
My Mustang speedo only went to 120--had it pegged on a road in Mexico.
My 350Z's speedo goes to 160...haven't had time to make a trip down to Mexico lately. The Porsche (944) is my slowest car :( |

Scary - one time taching out in top gear and a badazz early 911 turbo passed me! Weird on a bike after those speeds and then slowing to 55. Feels like walking speed in a parking garage. |
56 mph on a Trek 400 in 1990. Scary!
|
High 50's on my bicycle in a downhill pack sprint - scary. About 25 years ago I got up to 130 driving a Firebird somewhere outside of Lone Pine CA. That was even more frightening. Never more than 10mph over limit since on public roads.
