in keeping with my habit of posing general questions....whats the fastest you've ever driven on the streets (i guess track is alright too) and in what kind of ride?


Mine is about 145+ in Porsche 930 turbo...

163 mph in a 32 Ford Dragcar called Hot Stuff. Was my best friends dad's best friends car (did you follow that?) Wednesday nights at old US 30 drag strip was ride along nights. I begged mom & dad to sign the wavier so I could ride along.
I forget the time, it seemed like forever but was only really under 9 sec in a 1/4 mile.

My fastest was 140 mph driving a friend's Corvette. This was on the autobahn retuning to Frankfurt after attending a Group C sports prototype race at the Nurburgring in the 80's.

155 in a BMW 540i coming across New Mexico from Amarillo. I left Amarillo at 6 AM and was in my driveway at 8 PM. Average speed for the trip was 109. The car averaged 22 MPG also, it was the first time a car ever really impressed me. What a ride!

140 indicated in a 69 Firebird. Scary as hell because of the front end lift, but fun enough I did it twice!

Lets see:

140 mph - 1980 96 cubic inch FXWG Harley (I-88 Illinois) still have bike.

120 mph - 1970 2.0l 914-6

140 mph - 1993 RS America Porsche (I-10 Texas)

170 mph - 2005 997S Porsche (Autobahn Liepzig Germany)

Fun Times, the only legal one was the Autobahn. I'm a bit more careful now, most states are required Jail time and they will try to keep your car for that anymore. That would really suck. So I don't do it anymore, or should I say I really try to restrain myself, yeah, that's probably a more true statement. I do still nail them on on-ramps in 2nd-3rd gears.

Later, Don

170+ on my Honda CBR 929 on a very empty A7 crossing from one side of the Netherlands to the other. Chasing my friend on his Hayabusa. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


Indicated 120MPH in my 914 last night on the autobahn just outside of Kaiserslautern, Germany. Pretty much top speed.
