    Actually both cars had built engine and trannys but the rear ends were stock with limited slip and geared more for highway than quarter mile. The bike was just insane I used to drop it into 4th at about 100 and it would hit the beginning of the powerband which was 7k to 11k and I would shift my way to 150.

    92 mph in my 4Runner. This was with three other people in the car and a couple of very un-aerodynamic snowboards on a rack on top. I could tell the car didn't like it.

    In front of the comp
    I was in an Enzo and when the driver came in we looked at the trip top speed.
    Anyone familiar with the car will know that is has a top speed listing using the mode button.

    ANYWAY it said 191!!!!!

    I almost SH*T... We probably would have been locked up...

    155mph, hit the rev limiter on 92 500E on 10 Freeway going west towards Santa Monica at 7 am some weekend morning.

    On the track I was in a 360 Challenge car that might've done better than that on the front straight at Willow Springs. What do those cars usually hit there?

    I had a friend in high school that had a bad a$$ chevy pickup, at the time I knew very little about engines and performance products and such(just like today)but we were riding down the freeway and I was picking on him about how slow his truck was until he could stand it no more and he said he'd show me.So he floored it at about 60 or so and didnt let up until it hit around 135 at that time that was the fastest I had been in my life and it scared the crap outta me. A few years later I worked with a guy who had an eclipse that gave me a ride I'll never forget that scared the heck out of me too he pushed it up to around 145-150 I thought I was gonna die. So being a little scared of going fast on the freeway or anywhere for that matter I have to say that I've only been about 90 in my F355.
