-130 mph in the Benz
I hit this last night on 35-E Northbound after getting off the entrance ramp from 77 onto 35-E. I was doing about 80 when I got off that entrance ramp (speed limit is 70 there) and something flew by me and I decided I'd try and catch up. I had the pedal to the floor and about a mile later, I was at about 130. Holy smokes! I've never been past 108 before, so this was a whole new thing...the lines on the road became a blur and I was in total control.... 4500 rpm and she was still climbing. I'd heard that M-B limited these to 130, but I guess not!

-108 mph in the DeVille (hit the governor)

Not very. I just sort of sit there and it does all of the work. :hide:

In the 2-3 years I've had the car I may have gotten to 90. Back when I had the Quad 4 Cutlass I put it to the floor one night on the way to a game. Needle only goes to 85 and I had it pointing down so I figure I was doing a buck and change down a not so empty two lane highway. Good times.

120 on my CTS

Crap...I've got some stories... 150+ in the old Porsche, frequent 120+ in the old Plymouth Sport Fury, 115 in the '63 Mercury Monterey, 85 on a dirt road in the old '63 T-Bird, 136 on cruise control in the '94 STS for four hours straight... And for those who are, without a doubt, going to come on and bitch and moan about unsafe and such, yea, it was. I was young and dumb once. Now I'm just dumb. I'm "sorry" that I lived and had fun...so leave me alone about it. I know now and I knew then that it wasn't "right" but it was FUN and no one got hurt. Don't bother me.

I made it from Las Vegas to Yuba City in six and a half hours once.

So...I guess that link doesn't show up the way its supposed to. Map it from Vegas to Reno to Yuba City, CA.

well ur here to talk about it so.... lol but hey noone can really say anything, everyone has done something like that in one way or another ... everyone here was young at one time and lived there life and had fun... myself included and I still do but now that Im 29 approaching 30 I keep it down a notch.. but at 21-25 even 26 probably 27 hmmmm and yea prob 28 haha.. man when I was 21 I had my Trans-am doing 140 maybe more on the road headed to jones beach.. those of u new yorkers know there is cops everywhere.. but at 6am I didnt care I was going fishing lol be safe

The fastest I've seen in the DeVille is 94 behind a Hemi Charger (http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-kill-stories-race-videos/107054-91-deville-sees-94-mph-not.html). I think I've taken Betty to at least 90, but there aren't that many opportunities to really open up with either car where I live.

I've noticed some front end lift in Betty at high speed, especially when I had strong headwinds coming back from Eastern Washington last month. So 75 MPH is about the highest I'm comfortable taking her for a steady cruise.

I've been 200+ on a Mr. Turbo ZX-11... had my Dave White Racing Prepped Porsche 993 to 170+, Viper to 160-170, My friends electric blue Lamorghini Diablo to damn near 200 on Aligator Alley, and my beloved Cadillac DTS to a goverened 128mph (almost daily) LOL!

In a boat I've been a passenger in a MTI offshore cat at GPS indicated 155mph... that was probably the the most frightening experience of my life.. and I loved it!

148 MPH -1993 ETC
145 MPH -1997 ETC
114 MPH -1998 STS
116 MPH -2003 STS
112 MPH -1996 Deville
132 MPH -1983 Trans AM
120+ MPH -1969 Camaro

108 in the Escalade
110 in my Deville

145 on the Q45. I ran out of road, LOL. I guess that was God telling me to cut it out.

It took me a good 30 miles or so to get the Sentra up to 94mph.

I have had the V up to only 138. But there is a guy here that had his up to 161mph! The video is on youtube.

117 in my seville, bounced off the speed limiter.

I don't drive as fast as you guys lol
'03 Escalade -112 mph ( PCM tuned ) that was scary lol
'00 Seville STS-118 mph
'96 Fleetwood Brougham - 115 mph (PCM tuned )

Was the sentra being towed by something to get it that fast;)

My g/f's Nissan Xterra tops out at about 88mph.... I HATE that thing.

Topped out every LS1 F-body I have had
So right around 160.
The 91 Vette just shy of 140

Buck 60 in a 944 that didn't belong to me on Rt 80 in NJ. Not an easy thing to do with all our traffic. That was when I was young and stupid. Now I'm not young anymore.

125 so far in the Seville
145 in my first car '72 Grand Prix
134 in a NASCAR (thats as fast as they let you go) at Vegas Motor Speedway
145 on a Suzuki GS1100E...that was a rush!

dam Rt 80 is always packed with troopers.. ur lucky! lol

125 in the only car I was comfortable holding the road in, my 2001 330i. It just wanted to keep going but I ran out of road. I think ive had the Range Rover up to about 95.

Young stupid and lucky, as I recall the trip began from a bar and I had a few in me but that was the 80s and it was a different world.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I take 80 when I go to the poconos..... troopers are hididng in every nook and cranny lol

In the '93 Fleetwood, heading off the main road to home, just punched it and hit 91. The same smooth, turbine of a freight train as that car always is.

I think, in my '95 Fleetwood, it was 102.

Really no reason, just accelerating onto the highway from a rest stop, and no one was really around, so I just hit it and kept going. Didn't feel any different there than at half the speed, and still seemed to have some juice left, which was interesting.

Now that I don't have a limiter (or at least didn't with one of the last custom PCM tunes I had), and hi-po tires, the potential for more is there, but I never have the opportunity and don't get much out of it--just worry something will happen, either with the car, or cops, so it's just not common.

Gloat on,

My father in law was a retired Captain NJSP. Needless to say I don't get many tickets.

Gloat off.

149 mph in my old Porsche, it was just getting started.

138 mph in my 1996 Fleetwood, as smooth as can be :thumbsup:

Well.. the fastest ever was 146mph in my father's *slightly* modified '96 Impala and I've hit 143mph in my cousin's Grand Cherokee SRT-8 (which was a surreal experience!)

As far as car's I've owned...
Before we traded it in on the 300M I took the wife's Millenia S (I had nothing to do with that purchase!) up to 138mph.
My old '87 302 Cougar (another one of my father's *slight* modifications) got up to 130mph
The 300M topped out at 118mph.
I've taken the Seville to 110mph.
The Regal GS topped out at 108mph

and... oh yeah! I've gotten my Wagoneer up to 87mph!

Although... every now and then I like to take the Seville up to 200... but then I'll switch the dash back from metric... :)

The funny thing was...I was over at Steve's house last night, shootin' the shit with him for a few hours, and we had the same discussion. On the way home, I kinda meandered around Apple Valley for a bit, trying to find where all the million dollar homes are in that area. (I found them Steve) and after that, I got on the freeway and that's where I got her up to 130.

Don't we have one of these threads about every 18 months?... It's easy to go fast in a car that's built for it - it's takes more balls to do 90 in a Sentra that it does to do 170 in a Diablo...lol

128 in the Eldo
154 in the V-12 E-type
87 (I think...) in the '62 MGA with a plywood floor and plastic side curtains
(We regularly hit 60+ in the various A-H Sprites of my youth...)
72 in the '55 Beetle - mostly downhill, if I remember. Once the road leveled out, the speed fell off dramatically :)

Don't we have one of these threads about every 18 months?...

Yeah, but idk, I don't really feel like resurrecting ancient threads. I'd rather make a new one, than go search thru all the archives and find the old one and add onto that one.

about 125mph.

Good for you...must have been fun!...cops..shmops...that time of night all the troopers are at their mistress' anyway. Good time to run her out!

I took my SLS up to 102 twice, and that's about it.

Leave Britney Spears alone!

Leave Britney Spears alone!

From what I've read... Britney can do 120mph (matings per hour) after that she just lays down!

I wonder which Governor will kick in at 108?

Or Senator Craig maybe...oh thats right....he likes boys!

dude you were up way to early this morning. Go to sleep:thepan:

110mph - '79 Sedan DeVille d'Elegance - naturally limited
113mph - '89 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight Royale - naturally limited
112mph - '93 Coupe DeVille - speed limiter
108mph - '96 Town Car - speed limiter
100mph - '94 Isuzu Amigo - naturally limited

Furthest I've pushed the '89 Fleetwood Brougham was 95mph.... didn't want to go much further (cop activity)

All speeds GPS verified :)

Lemme see...

'98 Regal LS, I think tops out at 108; either way, I hit that mark,
'91 Seville, hit 115 lots o' times,
'89 Deville only read to 85, but I think she was doing triple digits,
'87 Seville with HT4100 hit 85 mph after about an hour, with new 4.5 liter swap (3 years old now), dash starts blinking at 85, but I know she's done a little over 100,
Recently while riding in a friends '84 S-10 with a 406 SBC, we hit 120 mph in about 11 seconds...that was a freakin' thrill!!!

I have been known to crack the 150 mph mark. I have had 120 mph speedos pegged against the 0 mph stop pin. I fixed that with a 140 mph speedo and yes I made sure it would go past the 140 mph mark. That speedo was a law enforcement certified speedo from a cop car. I know it was in my car and it was no longer certified
.
The little Yellow turd I am driving now has been over the 130 mph mark a few dozen times. I am surprised that the a 12 second Northstar would hit 130 mph. Hmm it must be broke. :shhh: I am running a VIN Y engine

I will have to ask how fast my Honda F4 was. I have a loss of memory from it.

Only two times have I actually gone flat out in my cars:

1. '86 Vette, 153 mph, stable at that speed but there was a lot wind noise!

2. '85 Porsche 928, 150+, dont remember exact speed but it was over 150mph and it was both stable and decently quiet at speed.

I may have gone faster in my '88 Mustang GT (very modified) but only had an 85mph speedometer. :bonkers:

120 in my old 93 sts (very scary, i was 16)
111 in my Lexus LS (unfazed coulda been doin 75 for all i knew)

I've hit the limiter on my STS at 130. My Devilles and Fleetwoods I've owned were too scary to go test thier top speeds! I've had my Ninja 250 up to 94, and it was screamin' at 11,000 RPMs!

163 in the V.

163 in the V.

145 mph in my "chipped" Eldorado and since Hitmoney brought up bike's

195 mph on radar on my (gone) 1990 GSXR 750 with a built 1100 engine
with NOS (spray)

135 mph 91 audi quattro
110 mph 97 merc cougar
112 mph 91 seville
85 mph 88 eldorado ...dash flashes 85 and the car keeps accelerating, hmmmmmmmm, how to fix?

125 so far in the Seville
145 in my first car '72 Grand Prix
134 in a NASCAR (thats as fast as they let you go) at Vegas Motor Speedway
145 on a Suzuki GS1100E...that was a rush!


This thread is old, and I'm usually the first one to berate the noobs for resurrecting them....but BOOYAH to the '72 Grand Prix!!!

'84 Corvette -123 after it got new tires. It just said "C'mon, I've got more" but I didn't have more road. Bone stock these are good to 147 or so.
'98 Buick -110 or 115, the speedo is cranked all the way around to "PARK" at this point and the revs then bounce. I've heard both figures for the fuel cutoff on these cars and I'm honestly not sure.
'88 MR2 -115 taking on a mini-van with a VERY pissed driver; it was still pulling in 3rd (that's top gear in these cars; they have 2 not-too-tall ODs, they can do about 135 but run out of revs at that point) but my buddy literally said "I don't want to die!" so I backed off a bit and the mini-van flew by wobbling like a drunken cow.
Nothing else of note really; an old Ford Rack body is more scary at 70 (at which point the motor is screaming as it's got a 3+L rock crusher) than the 'Vette was at 123... well that wasn't scary at all; just LOUD... if you know those cars you know they are loud at any sort of speed, though.

I got my 99 Malibu LS up to like 118 or something close to 120. My 99 Taurus I got up to 110 before I backed off because it felt and sounded like the front end was gonna fall out. My 89 Lincoln Continental Mark VII I got up to like 100 or something, the speedo stopped after 90 and there was another line past that so I assume it was 100.

Once my 76 DeVille is up and running I'd like to see how far I can push that monstrosity......

140+ in my tuned and slightly modded 04 crown vic police interceptor


I had no issues at that speed, car still had more in her but i cought up to the stangs i was chasing

'88 Fleetwood I only got to about 95
'94 Ford E-150 I got to 105 - that was some scary sh*t. Top heavy and a squishy suspension from age meant it liked to wobble around a lot.
'02 Chevy 2500 Duramax Diesel I got to 120 before I ran out of road, but still had about 400 rpm to play with before redline. I tell you, that truck never slows down. I was racing my friend's '01 impala with the 3800 and I was beating him by just a smidge (the truck weighs almost 7500 lbs.) all while choking him with a nice cloud of black diesel fumes. :bouncy:

162 in the last vette i had and on the rev limiter.

3 am run, hit the 130mph fuel cutoff in my STS. Will see how it does after AJ's tune.

167mph in a skater cat boat.. lol
195mph in a modded up Audi rs6

138 in the ESC-V on the way home from AJ's and ran outta road... oh wait that's not it - I heard the compressor for my air horns come on and stay on so I had to pit to disable it (talk about a quiet ride at speed)
149 in 8.92 in my 73 Cougar (highly modified, barely street legal, damn I could never get that thing below 9 after that day)
168 in an 77 Jag XJS and there was lots more to go but I was about to graduate college (USAFA) and came to my senses so I could fly jets
200+ Lambo Countach Aniversary ED in the Nevada desert (I actually owned it for 2 days, but that's another story)

980 Indicated in a Delta Dart - Mach 1.7
8.2G in a Falcon

And I don't do bikes or boats (afraid to fall down on concrete going faster than I can pedal and I can't swim)

I'm surprised; when I sold those things the advertised top end was either 129 or 131 depending on which rear end you got, and I believe they tached out rather than hit a limiter... What is your rear end and final drive ratio?

Oh, GizmoQ, your flying Delta Darts reminds me of a slightly OT story from my dad's Air Force days of a guy who was about to PCS out of his current station, and as his going away present, he wanted to do a snap-up (For the uninitiated, a J-shaped dive-and-climb at full speed to shoot the plane well above its service ceiling to intercept especially high threats) for real versus at the lower practice altitude. So the controllers (my dad was one) set it up and he did it. When he got up to target altitude they asked him how it was. He didn't respond for a while and finally said when he looked up he saw blackness and wanted to come down. They got him down just fine, but he scared himself real good doing that.

Been there, done that.

Had my STS to 135.

But in the BLS 2.8 turbo I went 260 kmh...

I've maxed the speedo on my 81 vette. Though, that's not saying much since federal regs limited speedos to 85 MPH in the early 80s.

Yeah, I know it's a old thread and a bad pic....

The guy in stang probably though "oh shit, I am getting a ticket today:helpless:"

May not look like much, but for a old 150 HP Volvo.... It still had more too, probably the best matched Engine/Trans/Rear of any (automatic) car I've had.

http://members.aol.com/dohc740/haulin.jpg

I hope you guys taking pictures have passengers :lol:
You went 120 in a Volvo with low washer fluid! :D

That picture was taken from the passenger seat.

Volvo is probably one of the most stable & sound cars made; I wouldn't have any issue taking any reasonable Volvo as fast as it wanted to go.

118 mph - Ford Falcon (hit rev limiter)

118 mph - Murano (hit rev limiter)

125 mph - FX35, run out of road

145 mph - MB C-class. Perfectly legal (German autobahn)....

Would love to take the CTS to 150 mph.....need to fine a track....

163 cause thats all she'll do.
