120 in a 1965 Dodge Polara station wagon in the I 95 express lanes in Northern Virginia. There was a whole lot less traffic back then. I also had the same car pegged at 120 on Normandy Boulevard in Jacksonville Florida when I was stationed at Cecil Field there. I was pretty dumb at 19.

Is that the hill before Rt. 228? I went 120mph before the governor in my car shook me to all hell.......I need to reprogram that damn thing!

I don't know . . . when I pass 85mph, there aren't any more numbers, and the needle starts oscillating back and forth like its confused . . . . .

I lived off 103rd about a mile from the I-10 interchange. It was a 2 lane road when I was stationed there and definitely empty at night. I was there from 1974 to 1978 in VS-31. You might find this link somewhat interesting since you were stationed there.

115mph on the 5S from SF to LA. A steady 115mph for a couple hours! In the dead early morning on a weekday..NO CARS AROUND. I could have made the entire trip in 4 to 4.5 hours if not for 405 traffic in LA. This was in an Integra at the time

Thats not true man, get on 295 at 2:00 am and you can go as fast as you want. Fuzz buster very much recommended. Not to mention they just repaved a huge section of it.

Me too. It's way too easy to speed on that road.

I didn't say I still do it, but even I was once a young & stupid kid

 

[Kishan]

117 in a roadster-top down. This road had quite a few curves, so it was that much more fun going fast on a straight road just isn't as fun.

 

[murphy55d]

97 on 279 North outside of Pittsburgh in my Bravada. I could have gone faster but it was starting to rain.

I call BS. (unless you mean he brushed against a small branch hanging down over the road)

That's 9 times as severe of an impact as 45 mph... and you're lucky to walk away from 45 without a scratch.

You people are either crazy (and damn good) or lyers. Most 4-banger cars won't even accelerate past 120mph. My old 97 Camry would barely accelerate once it reached 90. It'd probably take me 10 minutes to get it from 100 to 140mph. That's provided I had enough highway space to do something like that.

The fastest I've ever gone was 100mph and at that speed the car is already pretty damn unstable. And I drive a sports car with sports suspension and tires.

Yeah, that's because most of them ARE lying... here's an example:

Fastest I've gone was in this guy's Corvette with the top down riding shotgun, speedometer hit 153 (digital readout) over a 1 mile stretch on a 45mph road through 4 traffic lights. Scared the living sht out of me, never been sucked back into a seat so fast/hard, we probably were doing around 140-145. Next time I ask for a ride home from this guy he felt the need to floor it in the rain in his Grand National... we were fishtailing like crazy and that was the last time I ever asked him for a ride home. He was a completely insane meathead, probably the craziest I've ever met.

Sorry... but that defies the laws of physics. If you were travelling at 153 mph for a mile, you are telling me that at that point you were not accelerating. You would NOT be "sucked back into a seat" so you say... Tell me... when people are cruising along in jets flying hundreds of miles an hour, how could they possibly stand up to walk down the aisle toward the bathroom?

Well, its possible...just very very very unlikely. Most people will die at those speeds.

 

[UnoSigmaPi]

When i was driveing the fastest i went was 110 m.p.h., but i'd never do it again. It's not worth the risk. The fastest i went when someone was driving else was 140 m.p.h.

I hit a tree going about that fast and didn't get a scratch on me, aside from a very small little pockmark where a flying piece of windshield hit my forehead and a stiff neck which lasted a couple of days. I attribute it to dumb luck, having been wearing a seatbelt, and going into the tree backwards. Maybe not likely, but certainly possible. This was in a '96 Integra, fwiw.
