What is the fastest anyone has gone in a vehicle. I'm talking land based (no planes).

As for me, I used to have a turbo charged Mazda MX-6. On the interstate from Ruston to Monroe, I topped out at 146 mph. My Ex-girlfriend almost peed her pants. It was great! I hope nobody here is a cop.

fastest ive ever gone is 110, my dads truck just on some open strech, nothing special



Posted by: Shalome

Took my Mustang up to 118 on an interstate when I was 18 and in a particularly reckless mood.



Posted by: JANNA

180 in a highly modded 454 camero shortly before its engine exploded... i wasnt driving just passenger.



Posted by: Hambones

Not sure exact speed, but my skin started to peel back!



Posted by: TheeMon

wait does it count if we werent driving but just in the car?



Posted by: bLaCkOuT

I've gone up to 102 in my 1991 no frills Nissan Sentra! =)

Was passing like convoy of 4 semi trucks, I hate semi trucks. One nearly side-swiped me a few years back, but missed by a couple feet.



Posted by: Tecil

I had an 89 Dodge Daytona a few years back. Needle stopped at 120, but I had it buried about an inch past that on the interstate just outside of Baker Oregon.

Well, I was with a friend in his `93 Nissan Maxima, and that thing was FAST. We hit north on SR11 and the speedometer was buried past 120, I'd say we were doing at least 140. Not many cars were on the road, but that dude in the minivan was quite afriad. Ehehhehe He went onto the grass. LOL It wasn't bad, a bit scary tho...

Other than that, I was doing 76 on a `94 Yamaha Banshee 350. It was quite forkin scary, figuing it wasn't mine, and it just had it's rear end rebuilt. :\



Posted by: The-AoD

Well, my girlfriend would of wanted me to add this little info.

She used to drive her grandpa's Ford F-150xlt `97

And this kid, whom we hate, had a small nissan truck, we took it on edingsons stretch here close to where we live. We buried the needle at 90, and we passed his truck and a tuarus was trying to compete, and his car was blowing out some smelly black smoke, and we beat them both. "It scared me, but I hate *****" [***** = Kids name]




Don't blame me, she likes the banana



Posted by: TheeMon

dude theres so many deer there its not even funny... i would never race there heh



Posted by: Canis Lupus

120+ at the 405 Freeway at 2AM ... it's really one of the few times in LA where I can drive faster than 85



Posted by: Muggs

if it counts my gf usually drives like 200 in her corsica on the highway when we are going out of town

was weird cause one time a deer ran in to the side of the car and another time she though she would try and take her bra off while driving cause it was bothering her and the road was all ice and we spun a few times and landed in a ditch 20 feet from the road

funny thing is this all took place on the same trip within 20 minutes of each other



Posted by: Muggs

oh yea thats kph not mph

:P



Posted by: Chako

Heh

There was a period of a year in the late 80s, where my father had to work out of town (Toronto). One of his greatest pleasures was passing sport cars with his (at the time) Russian red lada. When he bought it, it had a racing package in it. Racing carburetor, and some tweaks to the 4 banger inside that really boosted performance. Anyhow, he would slide smoothly behind them (usually going 100 mph) on the highway…and pass them going 140 mph. Their egos would be blown..seeing this shit box blow them out of the water. So they would try to catch up to him..often times not succeeding.

Had an OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) cruiser stop him on one of his runs. He was certain he was going to get a big ticket..but the pair just wanted to see what he had under the hood. Great fun.



Posted by: AK47

I'm convinced that nobody under 30 should be driving.

Conversley, nobody over 65 should be driving either.



Posted by: The-AoD

Hah, it's so true...



Posted by: DemonBob

156 MPH in a 18 Wheeler. Me and my unclde were trying to get home before 4th of july traffic 2 years ago. This is from Sherveport, La to Alaxzandria, La. At 3 in the AM on july 1st



Posted by: Bobaroo

I do not have my License...Yet

But I have seen a few of my older friends Race.

a 300zx vs an Acura RL(?)

the 300zx got up to 135, and the Acura got up to 125.



Posted by: taco_fox

I've gone 135 in a 96 Mustang GT.

It was late and no one was on I-45, so what the hey



Posted by: AK47

yeah, that aint bad.

Only one to kill is yourself, so I say have at it!



Posted by: taco_fox

Yep, less lawsuits from other people that way.



Posted by: Qui Gon-Jinn

fasted Driven... 140 in a 90 Hyndi Elantra on a 2 mile strecth of 19th ave in extreme northern phoenix..

Or 120 in my wife's 97 Taurus on Riggs Rd in Southeastern Phoenix from the casino to I-10

As for my new Dodge Dakota.. I had it up to 100 going to LA for the Lan party 2 weeks back.. full of pc's and tables..



Posted by: Bishlopim

I've gone up to 120, as a passenger though.



Posted by: Hambones

Qui Gon,

I can't believe you would be so irresponcible! Driving that fast with people in the car is one thing...but endangering PC's...ARE YOU MAD!!!



Posted by: taco_fox

I once got a PC moving 9 m/s².


Yep, I dropped it. Good thing it wasn't working in the first place.



Posted by: Qui Gon-Jinn

Don't worry I was more or less going with traffic.. hell got passed by a school bus when I was going 80... so how fast was he going??



Posted by: Hackenslacker

passed by a school bus? What the hell!?!
lol
My mom's SUV only goes up to about 100, then it starts sounding really weird, and I don't mean low-gear weird.
POS automatic. Oh well, It's not like I need to go more than 90 on the freeway.



Posted by: ZeRo_MaXwInG

Fastest Drive speed = 0 Km/h (still waiting to get a licsense)

Fastest as passenger = 128 Km/h

Going from Toronto to Niagra Falls on a 1995 Toyota Camry LE. I couldn't remember if we were faster than the train or whether it was faster....(the tracks were beside the freeway)
