How fast?

[cashflyer]

[cboosh]

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)

a fifth of a percent, not a 5th of there blood ....

[A930Rocket]

160 on the track. 140 on the road. Both in my old 930.

[HardDrive]

155-160 in my 997. Not sure on a bike. Probably 125.

[livi]

Once I almost hit 70mph in my Carrera. Crap that was fast!

[Nostril Cheese]

180MPH (indicated) in a 993 Turbo.

[911SauCy]

Closed road in Mexico.

157 in '98 Buick Regal GS.

[sc_rufctr]

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.

[JAR0023]

Mid 50s on the bicycle. Topped an indicated 140 in a Callaway Supernatural back when that car was new. '95ish? -J

[gacook]

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

haha... same on my old built-up yosh gixer 1100... road gets narrow and things are happening pretty quick. Eyes peeled waaaay down the road and no time to look at a speedo. (Like Honda, I figure they have +10 optimistic reading anyhow.)

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.

[red-beard]

56 mph on a Trek 400 in 1990. Scary!

[JavaBrewer]

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.
