I figured everyone has broken a 100 once.

Its absolutely turrrrible.

My vision is far too bad to drive and I rely heavily on friends/family and such but as soon as I move to Phily I will be fine. I am very acquainted with their transit system for better or worse.

diogee · 03-31-09, 02:15 AM

Damn sorry to hear Ryan. You plan on getting lasik somewhere down the line? Good luck on the move.

Lasik will not work.

I have OC2 and nystagmus which combined = no muscle in back of eyes to control eye focus and no pigment to develop the cones and rods for focusing also. So I'm boned either way. I can still see well enough to go about business as usual and most people I meet have no clue I'm legally blind but it shows when it comes to seeing things at a distance or reading small print.

diogee · 03-31-09, 02:39 AM

Hate to hear that ryan. At least you can still go about your business. Best of luck in the future.

Yup,the stretch on I 70 between Salinas and Green River. My POS saturn was buried at a cool 110 mph.

bobbyfk · 03-31-09, 06:04 AM

80 mph

RogueJuror · 03-31-09, 06:18 AM

around 200 kph

pavyracer · 03-31-09, 06:25 AM

201 mph 1999 Suzuki Hayabusa

145 mph 1999 Mitsubishi 3000 GT

Matt Rain · 03-31-09, 07:37 AM

Fastest was a Mustang GT at 225 kmh/140 mph, but the most promising was a Chrysler 300C, which turned out to be electronically limited to 205 kmh/127 mph

. There was still a lot of room left and it seemed to get up there faster than the Mustang.

TPowell · 03-31-09, 07:55 AM

havent ever driven anything that powerful, so I'll say 85-90 mph. Just never really felt the urge to go that fast plus the highways here are swarming with cops so its not worth it

SamsNCharge99 · 03-31-09, 07:57 AM

102 MPH...nothing special

Tough guys drive fast like this guy. He's tough. He's so tough he has to hide his face for videos.

CS-MARIO · 03-31-09, 01:38 PM

140 mph Honda civic SI 2003 on 1-4 from Orlando to Tampa =]

CIVICS are the best...

james4512 · 03-31-09, 01:43 PM

in my friends 02 BMW M5 i was in the car while he was going 166

I drove 130 in my BMW 325

louisvillekid · 03-31-09, 01:48 PM

was with a group a friends in high school after a football game on I-65 heading to Louisville and the dude had a 69 Olds with a 455 quadrajet, speedometer went across the dash and i think it went to 120, he had it pegged and we were starting to float a little so he slowed back down.

had a childhood buddy who had a 90 or 91 Saleen , i think the speedometer went to 140 and we got it up to around 130 for a short while.

drove an old friends GSX 750 out on a country road up to a little over 100 for a few seconds, probably got from 20-30 to 100 in like a couple seconds, that bike was super fast , previous owner had tricked it out.

120 motorcycle 110 vehicle

ijustwant2bpaid · 03-31-09, 03:25 PM

148-49 in z28, 140 on fzr..75 in to the back of a big rig that was stoppd in my chevy2500, .28bac, broken neck in 4 places, 4 ribs, collapsed lung, broken top jaw, ****ed up knee and a huge pain killer addiction to this day, sad but pain killers really helped to improve my poker game, no joke alot more patient. Not to mention busting 4 teeth out and my 2 front tops were buried in my gums so deep they thought they were gone for like 2 days till they took an x-ray and I had emergency surgery to pull em down, over 30 stiches in my mouth and they lived which was crazy but were still discolored so now I have 6 fake teeth on top..

crazy that these speeds never seemed that fast to me till I read your pussy posts, Ive driven faster than alot of u have.... in traffic lol.. not even kidding.

The General · 03-31-09, 03:31 PM

My mother let me drive her 79 Corvette when I was 17. I was young and dumb. Topped out at least 140+ and sort of felt the front end lift. I let off and was shaking at the time. Never tried that again anywhere that I recall. Lesson learned.

I know I've reached triple digits on a bike and a car while at the wheel. But I believe the fastest I've ever been in a car was my uncle's '67 Vette, about 120 on old Hillcroft in SW Houston. Thing could fly, which was fitting since he flew B52s and F111s for Uncle Sam.
