What is the fastest you've ever driven (in a car on ground!), what vehicle? Pro racing drivers don't count!

[zombie]

It's not a car, but I did 178mph on my 2007 Yamaha R1 once (on a controlled circuit, of course)

BMW 750il = 170mph Open road
'79 Jaguar XJ12 = 165mph Open road
'93 Ford Lightning SVT = 120mph Open road

All pre GPS, but calibrated!!

140 in a 2004 Corvette and it felt like the wheels were off the ground! And had a 70Buick GS that pegged the needle at 120 to many times to count, now I think about doin something like that and I’m like that was friggin stupid part of the reason for buying a Bronco I figure that 80 will be as fast as I’ll ever need

140 98’ or 99’ Lexus GS400 on I-95 by Miami with oddly no traffic that day.

According to the speedometer in my shelby cobra replica I would say 135ish but it's very inaccurate so it's probably closer to 150+.

I've done 131 mph on a open and slightly curved road in my 14 Raptor 6.2, sketch levels were rising especially with tires rated for 105mph and rising tranny temp.

111.08 mph (daily driven 2005 mustang GT)

Passed the end of the speedometer at 150mph . The needle hit the peg (155 mph?) and she was still pulling in 4th gear. - 2001 Bullitt back in Feb. 02' I have never done it since. It was very smooth at top speed when new. No rev limiter or speed limiter on 01' Bullitts

184 on '06 GSXR 750. Down hill on a long straight highway. It's for sale now.

 

[Spooled]

180mph in a buddies Mustang GT
Have had my truck 160ish
152mph on a Honda CBR 600 (top speed)
144 on a Harley V-rod (top speed)

Hope to break the 200mph barrier someday.

Very occasionally, as high as 90. I got a speeding ticket for that speed, a few decades ago, in my Mom's nineteen-seventy-something Buick Skylark.

More recently, only in short bursts while passing something slower, in any of my last three cars, a 1996 Mercury Mystique, a 1997 Ford Contour, and a 2016 Dodge Dart.

I don't think I've ever driven much faster than that, and it is very rare for me to get up to that fast.

Fastest ever - full tilt on my Yamaha V-Max In early 90’s.

scariest - mid 1990’s as a passenger in a tri-hull boat on the Mississippi River going 115+. Feels like 200+ on land

Becoming a parent responsible for others tamed the excessive need for speed.

 

[Broncolli]

110 in a'92 325i
100 in an '09 911 Carrera - I slowed down because the car seemed like it was taking it too easy and could easily exceed my limits. That was a very fast flat 6.

 

[geronika]

109mph in a 9 passenger European van like an Opal Vivaro going downhill somewhere on the autobahn in southern Germany.

I once did 78 in a Chevette going down hill. Never again...

 

[vrtical]

160 in my 17 Mustang GTPP

135 mph - 2013 Ford Focus ST
