I have gone about 135 or so in my 2000 328Ci Bimmer. Cant wait to supercharge it and take out the limiter. :burnout:

In my younger days I hit 110 in my Road Runner on a public road. Many years later, I turned a 155 in a friends Super Comp car at the strip.

194 mph on a bored, stroked and ported 1995 ZX-11D. It was still accelerating, but the guy I was racing let up.

I have easily been in the 120's many a time with a few different cars. The first was my 68 Camaro, a friends big block Chevelle, Yamaha FZR and the last really stupid time was in my friend's IROC. We were racing down a major highway and I beat the Mustang but did not let out of it for about a half a mile. When I let off we came up to a very slight bend in the road. The car slowly drifted as I did not touch the brakes and we almost slid off the left side into the center of the divides highway. I was white knuckle gripping the wheel and this is the first time I think I ever saw my friend turn pale white. It did not cure my stupidity all together but it sure as hell took a big chunk out of desire to go really fast.

219 mph in a restored Porsche 917k at Laguna Seca during a V.A.R.A. event in 1988 Nothing quite like the sound of a 5.4 Litre Flat 12 right outside the open plexiglass rear window.

For those of you who might have never seen a Flat 12, a phot is attached...Robert

6000 rpm in 4th with 255 65R-15's Bridgestone tires and 3.54 gears in a 1970 440-6 'Cuda. The speedo said 153 mph, and the car was still pulling hard. At about 130 mph, the whole car felt like it squated down a few inches and it looked like I was in a tunnel that was getting smaller with everything getting blurry except straight ahead. The faster it went, the smaller the "in focus" spot got. It reminded me of Star Wars when they made the jump to light speed. At the fastest part of the run, I passed by about 3-4 feet on the side of this big old Ford that was doing about 65-70 mph. When I did, the car sucked together with his for a spilt second as I passed next to him. The vaccum effect or something was super strong. It scared the hell out of me because I wasn't expecting it. The poor bastard in that car must have freaked. I was surprised by how weak the brakes felt at that speed. I'll never forget that ride!

255 KPH (158MPH) in a 1998 Camaro SS, with the salesmen from the dealership sitting next to me, and a friend in the back seat during a test drive.

When it was all said and done, the salesman said "that was awesome, we should do it again!"

I had convinced the salesman that I was considering buying the car, and he called me for weeks afterwards asking if I had made up my mind on if I would buy it or not.

155 in my 3000 GT VR4, i was on I-70 in Kansas. I kinda wish i still had had it. It made me become a fan Jap cars. I never got beat by a stock Camaro, or Mustang, till the super charged Cobra's came out. It killed it for me, i didnt care for it to much after that, and got rid of it shortly after.
