How fast have we gone?

I have the slowest numbers for sure

1997 Explorer XLT 4.0 SOHC - 105mph still had a bit more to offer (limiter)
2000 F-250 7.3L Turbo Diesel - around 93mph still pulling (limited)
2000 Audi TT 1.8T Quattro - 130mph
2000 BMW 750il - 155mph (limited)
2006 Range Rover Sport - about 100mph could have gone a lot faster

 

I've been in the 180+ range indicated... I routinely go 120+ on the US Autobahn at night... Highway 202 here in AZ.

 

140mph - Audi S4
129mph - Ferrari 348 - (new car)

 

This was fun in the rain...

140+ in an Audi 200 Turbo that was running 22psi of boost. Down I-77 in Akron, Ohio.

140 or so in my 745i turbo (E28 grey market car). Down I-71 in Cleveland.

In my miata I would max it out every now and then. For the last year I drove it the speedo cable was messed up so it would bounce between 100 and 120. When it worked ok it would usually hit 110 indicated. I have no clue if the car actually went that fast.

In the C class I think I hit 130 once.

I tried to max out the Jag the day I bought it I got it up to 130 or 140.

I keep reading that the speedos get inaccurate at those speeds so theres no telling how fast I was really going.

I drive the Jag between 90 and 100 a lot. I drove at 100 with 4 sheriff deputies behind me for a while before I knew they were there. I think that was the most "exciting" time. They had something better to do and went around me whenwe all got off the interstate.

 

McLaren F1-----a very conservative 180 mph.

1/4 mile 8.96 seconds/168 mph..my carbureted '23 Ford T-bucket altered roadster.

Many BMW's over 145 mph..........

Can't talk about the Ferrari's. although I did ride with Greg Ray (Indy Driver) at over 160 on a public highway which I will not disclose....................

 

170+ - My modded 930
160 - My modded Vette
138 - My Boxster
165 - Buddy's 996
155 - Buddy's E55
150 - Cousin's modded '90 Saleen Mustang
170+ - Friend's HIGHLY MODDED Turbo charged 2005 Chevy 1/2 Ton Silverado (INSANE)

100+ - Friend's 42ft Scarab
80+ - Buddy's Bass Boat

STILL IN SEARCH OF 200MPH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm still winning!! (Smile, wink, wink.)

 

Fastest in a car was back in1986 in a TR at around 145. Fastest in a plane was 1985 on the Concord flying back from Europe to Dulles in Washington DC - Mach 2.14.
This decade I went as fast as 140 in a car.

i think i'd have to say around 140 in a buddy of mine's 760...

 

129 MPH in my 2002 Mustang GT as a driver. (Note)- Late at night, empty road, and excellent driving conditions.
140+ MPH in a 1989 Lamborghini Countach as a passenger.

 

@Autobahn
2001 Corvette (tuned): 295 kph
2006 Porsche Turbo 996: 307 kph
2007 360 Modena: 285 kph
2007 F430: 313 kph

 

550 mph for regular commercial flights.
187 mph from Paris to London on the Eurostar train.
145 mph in my friends B5 S4.

 

Fastest I've ever traveled was in the Concorde. Went New York to London and back on B.A. . .a little over mach 2. Also, New York to Paris on Air France, probably about the same speed.

Not very fast in autos. . .An old 1973 modded Camaro, about 135, years ago.

 

Not anymore. 2.0 > 1.4 lol

 

As a driver..

141 Audi TT (speed limiter)
130 Jag X type (speed limiter)

As a passenger..
160ish in my friends turbo civic..the speedometer stopped at 130 but it just kept pulling and pulling

 

BMW 3 series (in the rain) 180 kph

 

I suck.
120-ish in a car, roads are terrible around here, so driving fast is a rare treat.
130 on VMax4 snowmobile ... trails are smooth around here, so you can hold those speeds until the gas tank is empty (which is about 2,3 seconds)
0.001 on water, some boat thing on a lake ... enjoyed the scenery a lot, thought boating was awful.

 

130: Audi A4 and Saab 900 turbo (that was really scary!!)
120: Jag XKR
90: Suzuki Sidekick (even scarier! the speedo went to 85!)

 

As a passenger: 215 kmh - Lexus is300
Driver: 160 kmh - pretty good for that car
