What's the fastest you've driven a car?

Probably 95MPH. I was passing a really, really slow lane of traffic and there was another car down the way coming. I really, really wanted to pass them... and I didn't feel like waiting for the line of traffic even further along coming our way.
I love that old Buick.

In Los Angeles if you aren't doing 80 on the freeway you will get your ass run down. Personally, the fastest I have ever gone in a CAR is 120 MPH, but I once had my Mitsubishi Montero Sport up to 130. It was the Limited Edition, so it had the big engine, locking rear differential, the works.Broady Brio said:
Sadly, the two biggest motors I have owned have been governed at about 85 miles per hour. The one drawback of a Cadillac...
I am another autobahn driver. I maxed out between 160-180 mph. Eh. It woulda been cooler if not everyone else was keeping up with me. xD
It was either between 230 and 250kph in my old Mitsubishi Eclipse. With the convertible top down. On REALLY shitty back roads of a small town in Saskatchewan (Lanigan to be exact) I was racing my friends mustang and I kicked the shit out of him but I damn near shit my pants since my car was shaking so badly
120 mph in my Mitsubishi Eclipse.
It was on the 5 driving from San Francisco to LA.
There's always a bit of traffic on the 5 and it's only two lanes. When you're going twice as fast as everybody else it's like they are basically standing still.
Thank God there were no cops, I would have lost my license for sure.

105 MPH in a 1998 Hyundai Accent. My current car goes faster but I've never had a desire to see just how much faster.
I think the fastest I've ever gone is about 95mph. I wasn't paying attention and the average speed on the interstate here is 75-80mph(legally its 70mph), so I got a bit ambitious in the fast lane.
I've done 160 mph in a VR4 3000GT twin turbo. I can hit 120mph in my little CRX without breaking a sweat (but run out of gearing pretty quick up there).Whateveralot said:Like the title says, what's the fastest you've ever driven a car?
My top speed in any car is 180 kmph (112 mph), but that was in a rental car and I nearly crashed it at that speed because I had to hit the breaks suddenly.
The current car I'm driving in is a Toyota Aygo (yes, that shopping trolley). I went 170 kmph (105 mph) in that, which is actually the highest speed the speedometer indicates.
Captcha: Life's too short, well that hit the spot.
Um.. all of which was done in a completely legal setting. . .
Almost forgot. The scariest experience of them all. 120 or so in the back of a pickup. After a few minutes I began to pray.
On the autobahn, that's more likely to happen if you try to drive under 130kph (~81mph)... the wind of tractor-trailer rigs passing you is likely to knock you off the road.Ziadaine said:my current car's a stock Ford Falcon XR6, fastest I've done was 220km/h before the car started shaking and shook more when braking. Hasn't got the most....locked steering column and gear stick as the previous owner had a head-on collision and buckled the diff a bit.
This isn't yours is it?Grimbold said:

Heh, if you're speeding on I-80 going from Chicago out towards Iowa, you might as well be on your own property for how many strangers you will see on the road... As in zero.
Pro-tip for speeders: The cops will not pull you over[footnote]Hmmmm, unless they're really bored, really big dicks, and/or you're the only car on the road[/footnote] if you're doing 1-9 mph over the speed limit, unless its a school zone or something. But they will start pulling you over as you approach 15 mph over.
