Spin off: fastest you have ever been in a car on public roadways.

280 km/h in an old V10 RS6.

I was passenger and 16yo.

Still remember everything like it was yesterday.
 
Never driven a "fast car", so the best I got is 118 in a stock 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the V6.
 
Funny new addition. My business partner bought a new M5, thing fucking rips. I get in and son and his buddy get in the back. They want to see how fast it is. Get on the highway at our exit, mash it, run well up over 120 right fucking now, my son's friends' house backs up to the highway. Life 360 checked in at home for seconds as he went by, then his mom opened the app and he's doing like 140 mph. His dad calls me and asks if I know where the boys are. .........Uh, going for a ride with a buddy in his new car. You want to handle it or you want me to, he asks. Whoopsy. :laughing: Nobody died, and we know to leave the phone at home now. :lmao:

Made it to 130 in 1969 Corvette 427 on the day I bought it.

Estimated about 105 in a CJ7 on 35s, LT1 and NV4500 to get it there.

160+ in a WRX hatchback
137 gps in a 2008 silverado diesel, that one got sketchy when the back end broke loose around 135, speed was still climbing
 
87 Grand National, 124mph speed limiter removed, somewhere around 140-150, govment mandated 85mph speedo buried, t-tops trying to remove themselves, ass end trying to leave the the planet, spookiest drive I've ever done.

Parents Caddy STS Northstar with w-rated tires supposedly taps out at 155. Loved how the stabilitrac struts tightened up over 100. Fun car.
 
At 115mph the windshield wipers on my Nova start lifting off the windshield...
I discovered that a certain natural gas GMC Savana didn't have a speed limiter with running on natural gas.... (pre LS motor, stand alone NG computer system). Got that bitch up to 125ish mph. Took all the runway I had available to get from 111 to 125. Was surprisingly stable. Much better mannered than my nova.

A lot of "slow" numbers in this thread. Kind of surprising for a bunch of gear heads. :laughing: I've owned multiple bikes that I've stuck the speedo down, I know this thread isnt about bikes, but 160+ on a bike is something else.:lmao:

Always liked big brick shaped trucks and SUVs more than cars and I have a hard enough time not speeding in something built like a brick on 35s that tops out 85 stock. Intentionally never had faster shit because I know I'll just get myself in more trouble than it's worth.
 
Many decades ago
In a country far far away

300 km/hr plus as pax/navigator. Public road, late at night, ran a full tank of gas out. One of the few 333i’s made for sale to homologate the race cars

608 kilometers in a shade under 4 hrs. Not on todays modern highways either.

Stopped (and let off with a warning) at 188 km/h in a 120

Penalties and points too draconian in the US to consider speeding. Weld County sheriff was nice enough to give me a warning once for low triple digits. We had some friends in common
 
135.

Colorado, on hwy E470 heading southbound to my house. There wasn't another car on the road at all and there's a long straight stretch.

Car was a 2013 Mini Cooper John Cooper Works with a nice tune in it.

I honestly didn't think that tiny matchbox car would go that fast, max speed specs say 150, but at that altitude I don't think so. The tach wasn't redlined, but my balls weren't big enough to try it (it was approaching redline). Going that fast in something that small is a trip. That car was made for corners, not for straight line fast.

I've since got another similar model 2013 mini. Never taken it over 105 and don't plan on it.
