This is from the camaro website and some of them went pretty fast. Crazy fast.

175 in my c6 vette.

Low 160's in my '99 WS6 Trans Am, that was the drag limit for the car in my configuration. Really, anthing beyond 140-ish in that car wasn't very stable due to front aerodynamic problems (you could feel weight coming off the front and the steering getting looser), so I only got up in the 160's a couple of times to feel the limit.

^ got to 155 in my 4th gen ws6, and had the same issue. Felt very unsafe.

65-mph...it's illegal to break the posted speed limit, and I haven't found a 70-mph posting yet.

140mph in 2006 Volvo S40 T5. 125 today in my 370Z.

Oh I didn't indicate a location in my post above. It was at a really, really large track ;)

There are some parts of I-10 that are 80 mph in TX, although none of those parts are very close to Houston. The norm for most major TX highways when out of town is 70 day / 65 night (65/60 for truckers), but there are several that have 75 mph sections as well.

130 in my IS350, "on the track." I had my Yamaha R6 over 160 at Portland Raceway.

One thing that was nice about the corvette club is they would throw a little money around and do things like (occasionally) buy out tracks for us to use. I forget how much we each had to pay, but it was totally worth it to get to stretch the car's legs.

Fastest I've driven is 110 in my BMW325. I could have gone faster, but the car felt REALLY unstable for some strange reason. When I got home I checked out my tires, and as it turned out, the belts in one of them were coming apart x.x.

I haven't had a chance to really open it up on the Z yet. Only gone up to 90.

I ran out of gear in my modded '03 Mustang GT, which would be about 164mph give or take a few MPH.

XenChi 04-21-2009 09:37 PM

I hit 110 in the 370z so far.:driving: The fastest I've gone was 150 in a modded Mitsubishi Conquest @ age 17. And I'll NEVER go that fast again. I'm too old, and realize that I CAN die.

132 in my 5th gen civic si..
