Default Whats the fastest you have ever gone in your car

This is crazy and i will never do it again but when i was 16 and my car had a full exhaust tune and lid with the 4l60e and 2.73 gears i pegged out my car at the 155 mark but the rpms were still climbing.

i will never know for sure how fast i was going but i had to be going close to 170 just a tad under it. felt good no bad shaking felt pretty solid but yes very dangerous and i was a idiot then.

130 in my stock '98 Z/28 M6. Now that I have some 295 Nitto NT05's in the rear I think I'm going to top it out sooner or later. I love the thrill you get, but goddamn I'd feel more comfortable at those speeds with better brakes/suspension and a guarantee that I wouldn't have to worry about traffic or the police.

GF told you to back at out at 175

I never really speed, never over 90, but one day i lost my mind and ripped it on the highway, in mexico, and passed a cop at 145mph. long story short i got extremely lucky.

When stock, I hit 5600rpm in 5th. So 166 mph on a lonely stretch of Mexican highway in Canada.

What it will do with over 700hp now, who knows.

143 in a 65 was my biggest speeding ticket...

I've gone 135 on the dash in my Z. I believe I did 150 in a Cobra once, never looked down only was crapping my pants in Sugar Land, cause I saw a cop on a bike, and I was in the HOV lane.

Fastest ever was on the highway with no other cars on the road. Speedo said 136 in my Formula A4 with 2.73's, just a Borla catback at the time. There was plenty more left in it.

110 in a 45 was my worst one and after postponing the case twice the cop failed to show up for court so I walked.....
