How fast have you gone?

[Motorhead350]

Just wanna know what everyone has gotten their cars up to. Mine went 125 on the limiter, but I disabled it and went 136 and the car was still pulling. I had no radar detector and this was at 2 in the afternoon. Yes just another crazy story of mine. What about you guys?

[Badger]

The velocity-o-meter stopped at 140.
The acceler-o-meter did not.

[Haggis]

...:popcorn:...

[SID210SA]

91.36 mph....track wasn't long enough to go any faster.

[O's Fan Rich]

65mph just like the sign says, Officer.
70 on I-95 when posted.

Speed kills. Wear a seatbelt. Drive defensively. Watch out for the other guy. Take it to the track. Slow down, save a life.

[Zack]

150mph with 4:10's (Motor was screamin'!)
I-65 on the way to Seymour, In

He knows more than most of us how precious life is...

[jawz101]

Hey now that's mine... I'm gonna make it say somethin else... "I shave Rider90's n*ts***"

[Dan]

All of the below occurred on a private track...

142, summer 2005, GPS verified in the Marauder.
150, early 90's, in a Mustang 5.0.
140, early 00's in an 87 BMW 325e (this run was on a long downhill.)
100, 2004, on the front straight of Lime Rock Park in a 2.0 liter track car.
130, May, 2006, on an '05 Ducati Monster 800 while showing up some helmetless Harley guy on a V-Rod. He got shocked but gave a thumbs up just the same.

NOT on a private track...
Best trip time...Danbury, CT to Cookville, TN - 875 miles, 9 hours with gas stops. :)

[Bobby Clobber]

haha no that would make it safe! :D I was on I69 on my way to school. I just wanted to see if the Superchips Microtuner works.... and I found out for myself it does. :coolman: It was something passing those semis when they were going 60 miles per hour slower than me....... I'll get messages for this I know it! :rolleyes:

[BLACKMARAUDER04]

In My '92 Cougar Xr7 Did 112 (limited)
In The Marauder About 110 On I80 Last Year.

[dwasson]

A burst to 132, GPS verified. And an average of 105 over 150 miles.

[Marauderjack]

140 in my Cobra but got worried about the lack of any real safety equipment and how many pieces I might break into in the event of a CRASH!!!:eek: :rolleyes:

105 in the Marauder once but got concerned about the DS and haven't done it since Feb. 04......I was thinking of a MMX one but no need to go that fast anymore!! I'm like Rich.....Speed limit plus a few and I may last a little longer!!??:beer:

But ain't it FUN getting to the speed limit really QUICK??:bows: :banana:

Marauderjack:burnout:

[RR|Suki]

160 on my bike...
don't go terribly fast in the marauder yet, haven't gotten her to a road track yet

[Blackened300a]

138MPH on a 4 lane stretch of the Cross Island Expressway with the Marauder

127MPH in my Chevy Avalanche on I-95 in CT. (I must have had a set of bowling balls in my pants cause this was absolutely scary)

[O's Fan Rich]

Keep in mind, I'm older then I use to be and some events have become fuzzy over time... yeah, fuzzy.;)

[DEFYANT]

Warp 12.0.

I was limited by the warp speed torque transfer shaft vibration.

[BAD MERC]

I have gone Ludacris Speed. Spaceballs anyone??????

[Cobra25]

The fastest ever for me 145MPH in a Buick WildCat GS over 20 years ago. The fastest in the Marauder a little over 130 MPH., Plenty more to go , but no thanks.

[jimlam56]

I have gone Ludacris Speed. Spaceballs anyone??????
My favorite movie.
I love Mel Brooks.

[rkk]

95 MPH when the MM had about 4,000 miles on her. Felt the break-in period was over.

[Blackened300a]

I guess you have me beat, I only went Ridiculous Speed :lol:

[O's Fan Rich]

I bet she gives great helmet....

[jgc61sr2002]

115 on Krytin's private track.:D

[A98CVLX]

I plead the fifth!

[Hotrauder]

105 front straight, 120 back Straight at Sebring in the Marauder. She had a lot more but stock brakes got really funky fast on the 17 turn 3.7 mile track. Porsche turbos (3) at Watkins Glen all north of 150 on front straight and Carrara 996 cab north of 140 on private track (once) They were all easy as the only concern with faster was the closing speed to traffic. I know Porsche sucks but there is no mass producted car more rewarding to drive near the limit.

Note to Rich Long- I have video proof of real speed in your soon to be smokin Marauder from Bradenton Motor Sports Park. Dennis:beer:

[Tom Doan]

I have no idea, but the speedo needle was all the way around to 5:30 o'clock, left the Gps on the boat so who knows how accurate the speedo would be at that speed, but there was plenty left in the Cobra motor and we went back to the dyno to see how accurate the speedo and dyno calibrated togther, they were in sink, but I still do not know what 6 o'clock is in real mph without a Gps. I have 3:55 gears and a detuned Cobra motor (still, with lots of mods) with 528rwh.Without a gps I'm just fartting in the wind. Tom

[Kelsey]

I've gone faster on my motorcycle than anything else.
Marauder I probably topped it at around 100. I tend to drive it like gramps because I wouldn't mind getting it to 200,000+ miles w/o any serious mechanical issues.

But I agree with what some have said on here. Drive safe!

[Bigdogjim]

57 in a 55 zone I live on the edge...............

[sweetair]

Just call me pokey @110. Looks like I've got room to grow here..

[1stMerc]

MM onefourteen, Gps verified, didn't want to go any faster with passenger.

Onetwentyseven on the bike about 22 years ago racing a 69 camaro, before i came to my senses. Amazing how quiet a 4 into 2 unbaffled exhaust is while you're in the adrenaline.

[teamrope]

Somewhere between 140-150 MPH on the Autobahn in Germany. About 140 is the wake up and drive point. The wind takes on a differnt sound, and you better be paying attention to what is going on a mile ahead. :)

[BK_GrandMarquis]

Warp 12.0.

I was limited by the warp speed torque transfer shaft vibration.

Is that possible? I thought that you couldn't go past warp 10 because if you did, you'd be faster than the speed of light and be everywhere simultaneously or something like that. :dunno:

[Motorhead350]

Maybe in california

[stevengerard]

The fastest ever for me 145MPH in a Buick WildCat GS over 20 years ago. The fastest in the Marauder a little over 130 MPH., Plenty more to go , but no thanks.

I had a 70 Wildcat with the 455 hit maybe 120, SHO 142mph, MM 145 all on private tracks

[Vortech347]

Oh and with the microtuner I've gone bout 130 and ran outa road. In the MM

[Gre8one7]

in the rauder 125mph
in a gocart around 85mph an inch off the ground
stock car at chicagoland around 175
hopefully someday i will get a break and get to race a stockcar here at texas.

I think I got the same "proof". Trouble is all the glare from the front of a DTR next to me makes it hard to see....:D

[Marauder]

125 once just to see what she could do.

[Paul T. Casey]

I average around 4.5 mph when I walk. I think I broke 20 back in the day when I was pretty fast. Sub 10 sec 100 yard dash.

[Gre8one7]

lol
i can run a 4 minute mile....and average around 12 mph for 3 miles. I started averaging 22 miles in 2 hours back in august...now i am more like 15 in 2 hours.

[David Morton]

When I had the Kawasaki 750 back in '83 I had the 135 mph speedometer well-pegged so I guestimate 150. My buddy Mark came around me in his '68 Fairlane GTX, so he was probably doing 160. It had a Fred Jones rebuilt 428 SCJ, hi-rise Edelbrock manifold bolted to the medium-riser heads, Holley 650 double pumper, Hooker headers. That car ate everything in the county for light snacks.

I'd had Quicksilver up to the speed limiter just a few days after I got it, 120 or so. Smooth as glass then. Next week I'll have the MMX installed along with the QA1 shocks and springs and I'll get the guy to set the suspension 1/2" lower all around. Maybe I'll see what she can do then. SR 64 has a long stretch about 4 miles long with good visibility (field of fire) and it's not too bad a place to do that kind of thing if the time of day is good. I'll be doing some high-speed hard braking tuning on the new shocks anyways.

[Lou]

105 steady for about 10 miles once with a short run up to 120 catching up to the guy I was following on I-294 north of Chicago. Stock MM and it felt like there was a bit more pedal left.

[blackf0rk]

When I was younger and cared less, I went 110 in my 1991 corolla; kind of like this one:

http://www.koillismaa.fi/autohalonen/ToyotaCorolla91.jpg

Suprisingly, it was smooth.

[blkgrape]

Passing an officer at 200 km/h (Canadian eh?) in Montana after cruising at this speed for 20 minutes when there were no speed limits and he just tilted his hat to me as i drove by. I really liked that 97 Mark VIII great highway cruiser.

[LordVader]

:cool: One forty five on an autobahn in Germany, driving a Pontiac Gran Prix SJ - got passed by a Mercedes!

[dreydin]

120 on the first day i test drove my MM before i bought it(used and broken in already, btw) :D

[DeadVic]

This was in an Audi in 1991. 155 MPH on a paved, flat, straight, dry, county road in Iowa on Xmas day 1991. We had two way radios and cars positioned at each end of the road so the only death would have been mine.

Took 2.5 miles to get to that speed. still pulling but no more safe road to keep going.

[N40GL]

167MPH (as indicated by GPS; about the "R" in Marauder). I-80 westbound, about 25 miles west of Salt Lake City, east of Winnemucca (and the Nevada state line). About 4:00PM, Summer of 2003. Clear day, dry road, not an animal or living soul around - either parked, driving, or entombed. And if you've driven there, LOTS of runoff (nothing but a hundred miles of salt flats on both sides of the road). With the A/C on and the tunes cranked up.

[Marauder.45]

119 in 95 Mazda MX-6 (First car I paid for and modded)
144 (Limited) in 01 Lexus IS 300 (My First New car I paid for, no mods)
119 in 93 T-Bird (My cash beater after selling Lexus for a loss cause I couldn't afford NJ insurance on the Lexus)
136 in my MM before the gears. Now the shake is too bad until new shaft.

All top speeds posted on I-95 except for MM on AC Expressway.

[Dan]

I'll give you one. :)

So far, all of my "antics" have started with the last car and ended with teh next one. What I mean is that I don't believe in passing cars when my speed is outside of a certain range of theirs.

Trucks are worse. They can talk to each other.

Anyway, when I'm "tapping triples" I'll usually bring my speed down to 15-20 over what other traffic is doing should I need to pass a vehicle.

Note that I am only telling you how I do it. Not how you should do it. I'm nobody but a 41 year old guy who has never stopped loving speed like I did when I was your age. :)

Keep the pedal down, kid, but use that noggin' of yours, too. :up:

Best,

Dan

PS: I hope you know that this message, coming from me, has nothing negative behind it, right?

[Black_Noise]

125 - '03 marauder

140 - '96 crown vic (police interceptor, 4 other people in car)

155 - '05 gsxr 600

[gonzo50]

My needle on the speedometer was a tad bit over the 135 black hash but not close enough to the 140 mark.

I'll guess-timate "137".:burnout:

[Cuyax]

I went 135 in my 1994 Impala SS.

[BruteForce]

I went 135 in my 1994 Impala SS.

I went 450 MPH in a plane once. :rolleyes:

[Bluerauder]

:cool: One forty five on an autobahn in Germany, driving a Pontiac Gran Prix SJ - got passed by a Mercedes!
Similar story January 1976 on the autobahn between Munich and Garmisch, 120 mph (speedo pegged) in a Charger SE. No GPS verification back then. Got flashed once by something approaching from the rear. Was long and black .... maybe blue ... with a very high pitched whine as it went past. Could have been a Lamborghini -- never got that good of a look at it. He had to be up over 180 easy.... and was gone in a second or two. :rolleyes:

About 10 years later in March 1985 on the autobahn between Berchtesgaden and Munich, I managed to do 210 kph (about 130 mph) in a Mercedes 300E for a short period. I backed off cause I felt more like I was aiming and less like I was driving.

[gamercfan]

Buried the 120 mph speedo in Montana in the '69 429 ci 4bbl with 2.73(?) gears. Had to let off because of that big car 'float'.

[Badger]

675mph ground speed in the 747 the other day.

[DeepSea117]

around 135 give or take. i had my eyes off the road and back on it so quickly, i may have been just imagning things :)
