Default How fast have you driven and with what car?

Really not a race topic just wondering how fast have you guys driven. Could be your current car or a car you had in the past. I'll start it off. While stationed in Germany I had my 93 Z28 up to 150 MPH. Gotta love the autobahns. Sad thing I was still getting passed, lol!

200MPH in a 1973 formula 455 Firebird built for high speeds on an Air strip. My ex brother in laws car. On deserted 4 lane highway Rt.1 in Delaware at about 4 in the morning I had a 2004 SRT-4 and a 2011 Camaro SS up to 175. Both my cars.

I did 180 in a Grand Prix. That's what the HUD said anyway, not sure how accurate that would be. Had this Mustang to 165 according to GPS, that was before a pulley change and VMP tune. Not so sure it wouldn't break 200.

I took my '90 IRock to 150 mph on the 15 between Murrieta and Vegas, handled like a dream. I took my 2009 Solstice GTX up to 150 mph on the drive back from SC to WI, it had plenty left, but I was worried the vert top might fly off. I took the bike up to 127 mph once on the 15 from Murrieta to Riverside. That was a little scary taking an old cruiser up to that speed.
I bought my wifee track time on the Milwaukee mile in Danica Patrick's Nascar-she hit the rev limiter a few times at 150 mph.
I'd like to get my 3.7 up to 150 mph, going for the aluminum drive shaft and a tune to take out the speed limiter when I save up bail money.

115 mph in my old 2000 Mustang. It was speed limited
120 in my current car. Above 100 the hood starts flopping. Don't trust it unless I get hood pins.

I don't think I've ever pushed anything past 160 mph. Went 150 on a few long roll runs with my H/C Camaro SS, lots of 150-155 pulls with the Mach, and do remember pushing my first GTO up to 160, but honestly don't care to get over 120 anymore and only do that when running someone. It didn't use to bother me, but I guess my age/nerves have caught up, lol.

Damn Blue, 200 MPH is moving out! That had to give you one hell of a sensation!

It was pretty silly. The car had over 600HP but had a like a 2.71 gear and I was told the transmission was special built for top end. 200 feels fast but I bet 150 in the 1/4 feels faster.
