In my old genesis coupe (No ls I know I know ) I hit 149 (governed).
In my current silverado maxed it at its 90mph limit haha.
My crotch rocket (yamaha R6) I hit 164 in the 70 before seeing a flash in my side mirror...Cop was less than 3 feet from me and never saw him since I was tucked. Ended up getting pulled over for speeding, wreckless driving, fleeing and eluding (he took 12 miles to catch up), attempted vehicular manslaughter and attempted vehicular suicide. I was in the cuffs and he removed my helmet and realised we had raced before. So after talking he lightened up a little and ended up just citing me for the wreckless driving and speeding... Still went to jail for speeding and wreckless driving. Oh well sometimes you have to pay to play. Should have kept it to the track anyways.

Ha ha, maybe. Someone sent me a link to this because I was asking how fast people have got their lt1 f-body up to. So I checked it out and added my own entry. I completely missed that it hadn't been active for 8 years! Thanks for pointing that out to me, now I feel like I did something for the better good of man or something lol; I feel accomplished.

155+ (tough to tell anything above that on the F-body speedo) and I'm proud that my highest number was obtained legally. The car was still going but I ran out of track.

Mods in sig below.
