What was the fastest you guys driven?

SiXK · 04-22-2009, 09:22 AM

according to my Garmin the fastest I have been in the 370Z is 112. Not sure exactly when that was but I have a good idea where.

I would say about 125 is the fastest I have ever been, anytime I go over 100 I always ease off once I hit 120.

and of course, this all occurs on closed tracks.

158mph in a 04 sti ca-99 buddy was passed out in the passenger seat
had no clue. Looking back wasnt that smart even though it was 2am and the freeway was empty.

140 in a 2006 Ram SRT10.

I did 150 in the Nismo......I WILL NEVER EVER NEVER DO IT AGAIN. To be honest the car felt as though it was going to lift off the ground. I did not feel good.

145 in my 00 eclipse gt is my high score. It actually felt pretty solid believe it or not.

I've also hit 135 on my 01 gsxr but that was really scary. The guy I bought it from said he took out the limiter and had done 175 on it - I found out the hard way he was lying. I was around 13-14K and accelerating when my throttle cut out. Thank God the road was straight and no one was on it.

Over 160 on two wheels

JB1 · 04-21-2009, 09:55 PM

No Z yet, will order one within a week or two. But fastest I've driven is about 150 in a friends Lotus Esprit Turbo

Whow, great question....

I would have to step back about 26 years to an old WW 2 runway in the North of England.

My uncle who was a Part time Rally Driver had a number of fantastic cars in his garage on Sunday's we would head North to take the cars out for a " Stroll " as he would call it.

If memory serves me correctly:

Jaguar e-type = 130 mph

Jensen FF Mk 11 = 140 mph

TVR Vixen S2 = 101 mph

Now in the Z I just purchased. Easily a 100, but just for the odd short spurts.

Not really after the top speed as much as the windy roads, which there are plenty here in the Hill Country of Central Texas.

Modded 05 STi 150 mph.

M.Bonanni · 04-21-2009, 10:10 PM

Somewhere in the low 170mph range in my time attack 350Z at Auto Club Speedway.

I don't know if this counts but when I got a incentive flight on a f16 and the pilot let me fly/drive the plane for like 10 minutes i was going like 500-700 mph.

chrisw169 · 04-21-2009, 10:58 PM

I have done 135 in a mercedes once... felt as smooth as could be and would have pushed harder but i ran out of road...

NeedforZ · 04-21-2009, 11:09 PM

I got up to 140 knots one time in a Cessna 172 on a rapid descent. So that's about 161mph. Yep, and I was behind the wheel... uh I mean the yoke

Forrest · 04-21-2009, 11:05 PM

135mph in 05 350z while dad screamed like a girl. Will never do it again. Im okay moving slow.

WShade · 04-21-2009, 11:18 PM

Ran out of road at 187 in my buddy's modded '90 ZR1.
