What was the fastest you guys driven?

scottIN · 03-27-2012, 02:43 PM

143 in my Mercedes Coupe. The front end started to get light at that point due to my RENNtech spoiler.

Going to go about 185 in the 2-seat IndyCar in May...but just as a passenger.

I went 135 in a rented 2005 Viper. When I saw the "Danger Burrows Crossing" sign, I though about the $5000 deposit and decide to slow down. At the 135 mark, it was still accelerating! What a beast!!!

171mph...

FACT:

the car does get hit by a brick wall at this speed...

145ish in a 06' Gti, felt smooth as butter at that speed. In the Z, only 120ish so far. On my Cbr, pulls to 130 happened ridiculously quick. God I miss that bike

MC · 03-27-2012, 05:56 PM

about 156 at VIR

150-155 in my stock 370 on a long straight of country road. Was running out of road quick so had to slow it down, but the limiter woulda kicked in anyways.

slo · 03-28-2012, 05:24 PM

170 in my well-modded 03' cobra, 170'ish indicated (probably 155-160 realistically on a track) and yes stupid, but 189 indicated on a highway in Florida. Last two were on a bike....

With my 370z I just got a couple weeks back, hmmm, maybe 85 for a split second. No use in going fast in a straight line, this car is slow as beans. But I like the car for other reasons, definitely not for any straight line bragging rights.

careful saying that on the Z forum although I completely agree with you in stock form coming from a fellow superbike rider

True you have a point, but in all seriousness, go to a relatively good car meet without F/I on the 370z and many of us admittedly or not will be shying away from any type of.....spirited straight line runs.

140 in my 92 eagle talon back when i was in hs lol and 186 on my GSXR bike... both were speedo readings so not a true speed on the bike, probably closer to 165 real speed
