How fast?
 
Ok, so lets have it…

What's the fastest you've driven your car, or ridden your bike.

Bill Douglas 11-04-2013 03:19 PM

Disclaimer. I am ashed of myself ;) . On a public road in the 911, 230 kilomers per hour which is about 140mph.

Embraer 11-04-2013 03:20 PM

951 modded...163 GPS verified.

F355....170 gps verified

the 951 was much more stable

I've done some crazy speed on my bikes and in cars on public roads, but would never post the stories here. No telling who's watching ;)

sammyg2 11-04-2013 03:32 PM

I always obey all posted speed limits.

I've gone as fast as I ever wanted to on the drag strip and way faster than I ever wanted to in a drag boat.

167 Audi.

E46 M3 -140mph
E39 530i -130mph
924S -125 mph

On water -70mph on the waverunner (gps verified)

Snowmobile- 96mph on a frozen lake, 87mph on a logging trail (much more intense)

slodave 11-04-2013 03:57 PM

152 MPH and it was legal, on a public road.

cockerpunk 11-04-2013 04:22 PM

buried the needle in my 951, but its a bit optimistic, probably like 160. top speeded my old GTI at a gps varified 145.

When I was in high school I hit 200 kmh in our honda accord on a 4-lane highway. Dumb dumb dumb.

At the track I've hit 230 kmh in a 996TT. The car had more, but I ran out of cajones.

varmint 11-04-2013 04:26 PM

Maxed out a hayabusa. Was too clenched to look at the gauges.

Les Paul 11-04-2013 04:35 PM

3 times under 19 seconds on a measured mile in the old 930. 155 on my old Pro Stock motored Z-1 over an overpass with tank slapping front end wobble late 70's.

I have held it under 160 GPS speed the last couple years.

GWN7 11-04-2013 04:37 PM

There is a rumor the Black car does 150 mph

Eric Hahl 11-04-2013 04:38 PM

180mph indicated on my old 2001 Honda RC51 on the track...equates to maybe 170ish true speed.

(a) it was a friend of mine.

(b) it was in a foreign country.

Went through an SCTA speed trap on a dry lake a 162 and change. All certified and sanctioned, so no worries. Interesting, to say the least.

930LDR 11-04-2013 04:55 PM

Topped out my short geared 930 at Mid-Ohio ~160ish
Topped out a F348 (with the top down) on an undisclosed desert Highway ~ 175ish

manbridge 74 11-04-2013 05:51 PM

Through the traps at Daytona in 1992 on a 600F2 Honda at 151mph. Factory guys were at 164mph, so yeah, it was a long week.

doug_porsche 11-04-2013 06:18 PM

I have done a GPS verified 672 MPH in my stock 1.6L Miata. Did it west bound on A1A out of Key West.

If Big Brother is watching, its never too early to discredit myself as a reliable witness:)
