My 132 in a '76 Camaro (back in '78 when I was young and stupid) was confirmed by four units of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. How's THAT for authentication?

mine is off 3mph at 80 for sure..

My speedo read 183mph on my stock Hayabusa. It could have gone faster as the the restricter has been bypassed. Tracks are fun!

alcheng 03-25-2012 05:32 PM

about 120mph with the Bimmer, on track.

370ZilverZ 03-25-2012 05:58 PM

Somewhere between 100-200+ in or on everything I've owned. We are talking track, right!

I was on the throughway today and on the 10 lane divided hioghway revved up to get over to the fast lane. looked down and noticed how easily I got up to 100 mph before immediately slowing back down to 85. The 65 mph speed limit is archaic in some places, that area should easily be 75

hector20 03-25-2012 06:52 PM

135mph on my Z

LukasC 03-25-2012 07:14 PM

152 in my z

i hit 175 on my honda CBR 954. btw, the speed limit in certain places in utah is 85 which is sooooo nice compared to other places.

Kenny 03-26-2012 01:41 AM

darionlear 03-26-2012 09:10 PM

178.... only stopped because traffic got in way..

Thank you to UpRev for removing my govner! >=)

Worth every penny!

RiCharlie 03-27-2012 07:57 AM

300 mph seriously

Just fyi... a friend of mine went over 300 mph...not in a Z but in a specially equipped truck..

it was at an airshow and it had a jet engine attached to the back..since then all else seems tame to him..

Long empty highway. Built up... didn't get there in ten sec... just said I hit that. UpRev removed governor and raised redline... a proper tune and correct bolt ons will get you that. ;-)

ive done many... closed road pulls... and really havent been able to put down anything 170 on the speedo which at those speed isnt that good. do you have gps to compare it to?

were you at a standstill or rolling start?

TerribleONE 03-27-2012 12:00 PM

You may have hit that speed on your speedo.. but I hate to tell you it would take a lot more than bolt ons and a tune to get going that fast.. The Z is aerodynamically limited at about 165.. unless you were going down hill? If so I feel bad for your brakes..

With what mods? Uprev and?

If its just bolt-ons and the Uprev, no way.

If its spray/forced induction, sure.

You just simply dont have enough power to hit 178 with just minor breathing mods.

TerribleONE 03-27-2012 12:32 PM

178kmh?

nmjaxx9 03-27-2012 01:55 PM

281 north between blanco and marble falls

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.

mults 03-27-2012 02:50 PM

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!!!

Kingbaby 03-27-2012 03:03 PM

171mph...

FACT:

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