I was being chased by the police in the winter at 140 mph from what I remember peaking on my Cutlass Supreme International Series and was mad because I just got a new engine soon before that and nailed it on the highway for fun at 165. Regardless, how stupid and scary was this. I lost both rear wheels, bounced into a pole and shot sparks before i crashed into a tree and came to a stop. Luckily I had driving instincts and luck because all damage was behind the doors and I walked out stupid and alive. The cops thought I had a real reason to run but I was just scared and thought I could get away from a suspended license from speeding tickets. In the end, the judge, tickets, and fines were nothing when I look back at the car and what could have happened. I only totalled my car that lost it's insurance policy a week prior because of the suspension and paid for a car that I could not drive. My license and record were cleared up and I learned a stupid lesson. In answer to your question before that engine, I drove on a free highway at 170 mph in a 90 I series cutlass supreme and loved it. I did not enjoy the chase.

130 mph in a Peugeot 405 SRi.

It was on an RAF runway, one weekend when the normal aircraft were not flying.

Just make sure that you aren't endangering other drivers or people. That is awfully fast. Anything (human or animal) can get in your path. How bad are you going to feel if you destroy someone's life? Think about it. Go to a raceway.

I believe the fastest I've ever gone is 85 mph. I'm not completely certain. I certainly didn't keep that speed up. I'm a safe driver. I put others ahead of my needs.

Sign up for amateur car racing. You won't hurt any innocents then.

110 in a 1995 Kenworth, down hill, off road in winter with 58 tons of logs on the back. If you can't stop, you GOTTA stay up front :-)

About 119 mph on I-94 late at night in my 1988 Honda CRX. No, if I'd have gotten stopped, I surely would have gone to jail. I was in no condition to drive.

Not that fast. it was 97.5 on Hiway 50 over Echo Summit going west. There are few passing lanes and I had to pass 5 cars that were driving me nuts. There was a 45mph turn just past the end of the passing lane that I had to brake really hard for.

I reached upto 170 on Honda City, and i am from India so no rules on the road here.

I once did 138 in my 02 Civic ex, then the dumb restrictor cut in.

It was on I-40 in the desert with noone around.

I wouldnt do it again, I just wanted to see how fast it would go, and all i did was get up to speed to its limit and then slow down, one rock and i would have been lunch meat.

Very stupid...but on a mile-long road, I got up to 100, with my 3 sons in the car. They were 4-5-7 at the time, and I should have known better.
They thought I was ultimate cool Mommy, tho.


xerox this!
Once my friend hit like 165 (or he says he did).
Buuuut he got pulled over and had to stay the night at the station haha.
And on top of that he screwed up the engine of his '94 Honda.
