What The Fastest U've Gone?????
 
5600 in 5th w/4.44 gears. edit : no spedo.

I maxed my 97civic @120mph all the time.

RIP CIVIC - WASTLAND SOLIDER

I have been 125 in my Subaru, it wasn't maxed out, but I didn't want to be excessive. I pass at 110 quiet a bit. I haven't had the 7 over 50 yet due to a very loose front suspension.

DriveFast7 04-09-03 12:35 PM

Oh, 130mph in the '81 on the 1/2+mile long front straight at willow springs raceway. And that was a 12a streetport that was getting tired.

keep em comin

FB II 04-09-03 01:30 PM

i've only had my 12a stockport gs up to 115 and it wasn't gettin there fast after about 100 :( hahahaha, i think it was hitting fuel starvation.

coldy13 04-09-03 02:22 PM

120mph '85 GS, some exhaust, k&n filter, doubt it would go much higher than that.

APT CSVT 04-09-03 02:50 PM

135mph in my old SVT Contour
130mph in my IS300 a few times
120mph in my sister's old Probe GT
110 in my brother's 88 Supra turbo
110mph in my old Grand Am GT (fuel cutoff)
Had the needle was burried at the speed limter a few times in my wife's F-150 about 103mph indicated
100mph in my GSL-SE on Blizzaks even, but it needs some work before I trust it for much faster

exodus82 04-09-03 02:52 PM

145mph in my Dads stock 85 Vette. My buddy was going over 160mph on his ninja and he said it was the most insane experiance ever. Then again thats a bike.

Keaponlaffen 04-09-03 03:03 PM

I had my '79 going 175 km/h, but shut it down 'cause the rear end was making too much noise, and the front end felt really light...

that's about 108 mph...

eddierotary 04-09-03 03:05 PM

in my rex at 125mph, and in my suzuky 85+, 85+ because it doesnt read after that:D

Keaponlaffen 04-09-03 03:11 PM

oh yeah... forgot my '86 S10.... couldn't hit 140km/h

and my Hon-duh Prelude ('81) Maxes out around 158 km/h... downhill, with a tail wind, and no passengers... :rolleyes:

cveklund 04-09-03 03:22 PM

171 in my friend's brother's 91 corvette.
117 in my ^ friend's 84 corvette - OD is shot
115 in my moms saturn
112 in my 85 rex
110 in my 97 stratus - darn limiter

82transam 04-09-03 03:53 PM

95 in the 7
? in the TA cause the speedo only goes to 85, it was buried though :D

jeremy 04-09-03 04:00 PM

125 in the camry
about 120 in the sa, backed out because i ran out of clear cop viewing highway. didn't really have much more if any anyway.
140 in the fc on a mad downhill section on I64 were you can easily kick up from 80 in a matter of seconds. got to 130 on flat but backed out due to dry rotted tires and blown struts. doubt i had much more to go since it is stock.

all together i've averaged 70 knotts.

REVHED 04-09-03 04:04 PM

About 140mph in the 1st gen. Was a 12A sp, Weber, 4.44's, etc. 110mph in the Cosmo because that's where the annoying speed limiter is. :(

faye x7 04-09-03 04:23 PM

Heh...with my stock 12a, I've only hit 105....Maybe faster if my friend wasn't in the car. I'd have probably gone faster, but I ran out of road.

160mph on a bike is FREAKING INSANE. imagine the contact patch as the bike is just stting on the ground.

maybe no more than 5sq inches front and rear. now i imagine that the contact patch deceases and u travel faster probably not significantly but @1 6 0 mph.......teshhh seessshhh :eek:

Pedestrian X 04-09-03 04:34 PM

got up to 180 in my buddies 85 it was red so that helped.. but it was KM :]dunno how fast that is in MPH bu it was maxed out downhill

YELLOWGSLSE 04-09-03 04:35 PM

about 142 in my current '84 gsl-se with a racing beat streetport ehaust system and k&n drop in filter on a factory rebuild with 45,000 miles on it. I was racing a modded bmw 325 and my friend's '99 eclipse gsx.

Over 7000rpm. :D I remember working it out afterwards and it was about 140mph. The 200kmh speedo was well off the clock.

Skidrain 04-09-03 04:57 PM

122mph today in my '82 on I43, beeping at and passing a friend of mine, who casually grinned and flipped me the bird. Stock intake & muffler (besides K&N, cold air,& fresh RB header). I guess that's good, right?

Pedestrian X 04-09-03 05:01 PM

yea anybody know how fast 180Km is in MPh?
