About 115 in my 83. I wasnt really looking at the speedo honestly, I had other things to watch. I know I was at 110 in 4th when I shifted to 5th and floored it again. I got a ticket that night for 90 in a 60 (I was in the process of slowing down). A state trooper was sitting right over a ridge on the shoulder at some ungodly hour in the morning just waiting for a dumbass like me to come flying by... I dont drive like that anymore. Dont drive fast on public roads, its not safe.

150 mph on my Katana
148 mph on my 911SC
98 mph on my new Suburban
90 mph on my 7 so far.

Most fun? going 150 on my Katana. Sensation is so different from going fast on cars. I could hardly hold my head straight and ride felt like a roller coaster ride but really smooth and see everything like warp speed on Startreck.

And that lame Suburban, it has a governer at 98 and it just ceases.

~100 in my stock '84 RX-7

165 on a 1992 Suzuki GSX-R 750... for which I got hauled away and a few tickets. most notably 'Resisting arrest' and speeding '135+ in a 70' officer's logic "I was doing 135 and I couldn't keep up with you." That sucked going before the judge won't do that again

About Mach 0.8--- on every commercial flight I've ever boarded.

With me at the controls, about 250mph coming out the bottom of a loop in a Glasair S-II retractable kitplane...

In a car, about 125 mph downhill (very long straightaway) in my first rex--- an '81 GX (same as GSL). Yeah, they'll hit that speed, but you'll need Nebraska to get it up to that.

I was clocked at 151 in a 55... by an IL State Trooper.



After a LOT of talking... I got it down to a 103 in a 65, and went to court for it. Ended up getting $199 in fines, and a conviction on my record... the ONLY one that my insurance sees, though.

162 mph on my bike.
178 mph on my friends TL1000R
Probably around 90-95mph in my car.

Note that all of the speeds are "speed indicated". Many times the factory speedo is not accurate by quite a bit.

Best tickets: 116 in a 65mph, Failure to maintain( rode a standup past cop at about 85mph)

Oh ya.....**** the POLICE!!!!

ive been a little faster than this but my friend doug and i drove down marvien hill in hammond ny which was about a 1/8th of a mile hill with a 30-35 degree slope with another1/8th of a mile flat straight away to on old almost double lane bridge with no sholders and a small transition from road to the metal. the bridge was about 30 feet long. we sat at the top finished smoking and threw the seat belts on and gave it gas i watched as we passed 129 then looked forward still climbing hard we hit the bridge became airborn overshot the end oc the bridge by about 12 feet (we went back and saw where the tire tracks started again) if anyones driven a mx 6 u may understand how much the front ends weigh we nearly nose dived into the ground the suspension bottomed out and the car slide sidways left and right for what seemed like forever anyways we lived obviously after we came back and stood in aw in the middle of the road i asked him how fast we were going when we finnaly hit it he gave me a pail look and muttered 140. that was our 1st attempt at the bridge ppl in hammond have been trying to do that for close to 30 years we were the 1st and so far the last to do it that even though i wasnt driving it was without a doubt my claim to fame in a car. so doug this is to u and the mx 6 with a blown tranny thanksdog ill never forget that

125 mph in my nearly stock 84 GS (it's got a header & RB muffler, with a K&N, but NO engine mods). He had a little more to give, but not much.

120 mph in my '85 GSL, only special upgrade so far is a Bönez Performance 12A Intake - oh, and a homemade exhaust leak. As for curvy highways high speed, 110 mph on hwy 60 up in the mountains of New Mexico on my way to help put out a forest fire last year during summer... man the car sticks amazingly. Had BF Goodrich 215/13/50 at the time.
