156 MPH on a stock Suzuki Hayabusa at the OC Drag Strip in Elkhart Indiana. It was a 9.97 quarter mile.....
I hit 160, maybe 165 on a county road, that thing was WICKED fast!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hit 135mph in my 350z. It had about 300 bhp. I sold it before I installed the twin turbo kit I had for it.....which is really too bad I was curious to see what it would get up to with 500 bhp lol.
Cuda is gone :(

178 mph in my 06 Charger Daytona. I drove it from Calgary Canada to Jacksonville Florida so I could ship it to Puerto Rico. I was in Kentucky or Tennessee and decided to see what it could do. The speedo only goes up to 160 so I had to watch the GPS.

I had a 67 Satellite, factory 383, 2.93 rear end, Edelbrock 750, stock exhaust. This was back in 94 when Mustang Cobras were new.  I was cruising home from work on the freeway when a kid in a new Cobra pulled up next to me, reved his motor a few times, so we took off. 

My speedo was pegged and i still had pedal left.  We were blowing down the road, i thought screw this and gave it the rest of the gas.  Cobra must have got into his limiter or gave up.  I stayed on it way to long, 2 min probably, must have been doing 150 mph.   :22yikes:  Slowed down and took my exit, knocking noise i had never had before.  Spun No.1 rod bearing.  oops, rebuilt the motor, so it wouldnt do that again.  Stupidly sold the car a yr later.

130 in a 91 Nissan 240SX, before the engine cuts the fuel and you coast back to 100.  I thought i blew that thing up.

Never gonna go that fast again, the Satellite felt like it was going to be airborne on every little bump

I hit 179 in my 92 dodge stealth rt-twin turbo. That thing was glued to the road, felt like I was just cruising along at 70. I could have kept going but I was not wanting to push it too much. Gotta love 500 awhp hehe

Nice, yeah I cant say I've gone anywhere near that fast recently, I'd like to think I'm a little smarter then I was back when I was 20-21ish.

I took a trip from Salt Lake City UT to Portland OR in a '92 Nissan Maxima with a rebuilt engine from a 300ZX with twin turbos, I believe it was the stock Z32 engine with the Garrett turbos but I don't know because the Maxima didn't come with that option.  I don't know how fast I was because the speedo only goes to 140 but it was burried quite a bit.  I estimate 160-165.  I held that speed for about 3 hours till I had to refuel.  Luck was on my side till that point so I didn't push it but faster than about 85 the rest of the trip.  Pulled a 14 hour drive in under 8.

Understeer is hitting the wall with your front end.
Oversteer is hitting the wall with your back end.
Horsepower is how fast you can hit the wall.
Torque is how far you can push that wall after you hit it.

That would have felt like 225 :ylsuper:
