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.

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. |
