109mph in my 84 GSL before the engine went, god bless her.

sad side is i got busted doing that on the highway, cop walks over,

cop: sir, may i see your liscense and registration
me: whatever for officer?
cop: I clocked you at 175 km/h
me: holy crap really?
cop: I don't joke about things like that
me: anyway i could get off with a warning?
cop: your kidding right?

sigh. 280$ ticket, parents were angry (but later my dad told me that the first time he ever went that fast he got caught too) so i went out and bought a radar detector, then my engine went.

humphh.

cheers'

I saw 125 in a 1978 Ford Pinto. It didn't walk around on me or anything, but turning seemed a little out of the question...

280km/h was the fastest I dared to go. on 4th gear redline I was doing 240km/h.
I only have a HKS F-Con, a full free flow system, suspension on.
It was done on a Toronto highway.

*** 138 mph in a 90 GXL - however this car had a 12A tranny (don't ask) and 17'' rims, I do not beleive it could do that speed anyway. I redlined 4th and didn't get any speed out of 5th so back down to fourth. On this run I'll never forget I had threads sticking out of my rear tires.
*** 140 mph in a 88 TII - with bolt ons running 10 psi
Got up there very quick and had a lot more but I let off
*** 145 mph in a 94 FD - got to 140 pretty smooth slow but steady from there, ran out of road

Hmmmmm....... Maybe this is the reason I got 26 tickets and 2 reckless in 3 years of driving ( I haven't got any tickets in a few years)
