Highest speed achieved and in what car?

[Big_nate]

Hmmmm, with me driving.........no comment

With Hurley Haywood driving a Carrera GT, I'm guessing a buck-ten or so. Seemed much faster though after my seatbelt flew off braking for the first turn

[AutoEuphoria]

Somewhere between 120 and 140 in my ITR. I didn't want to look down to see exactly, but the last time I checked it was passing 125.

The GT is sooooo quiet from the outside in person, but it sounds amazing from inside from your video!

 

[Klayton]

330km/h in slr.

[mike7423]

140 - NSX.

125 - 01 Eclipse.

I've had both our SLK and NSX into the 130's for brief stretches of time.

[queenlives]

i'll confess my sc'd '00 saw 2x upper posted speed limit (in ca), but some details are better left unsaid in a public forum.

 

[H-carWizKid]

I went 110 at Firebird with Velo CT (Thanks Frank) At NSXPO 05

My Defacto High Speed Driving feat-

I submit the following as proof that I can be stupid for long stretches of time-
I already know it was dumb- I wouldn't do it again, but I did pull it off without a single citation...

I once went Solo from Hoboken NJ to Dallas TX in 22 driving hours
For those who don't want to calculate- that is roughly 1600 miles averaging about 72 miles per hour. I crossed NJ,PA,OH,IN,IL,MO,OK into TX in a single day in my Integra GSR-

I did stop for fuel, and to evacuate waste- so you can guess how fast I needed to be going to maintain that average. Lets just say the little needle in my car spent a lot of time on the right side of the dial.

All things being fair- I DID stopped the driving clock when I stopped off at my parents house in Tulsa OK. to rest for a few hours after the all night stint through western IL, MO, and OK.

I have several short video clips of my speedo during the crossings of various state lines...

I don't advocate endeavoring a cannonball style road trip w/out a co-driver.

More correctly- I also don't advocate a Cannonball style road trip....

 

[White92]

I did a similar trip one time when I was young(er) and stupid(er). I drove from point A to point B, 302 miles, averaging 115 -120 mph. I maxed out at 143 mph for much of the trip. I even took a picture of the speedometer. (97 Prelude, bone stock & 3 people in the car)

Man was I stupid then.

 

[SNDSOUL]

Over 200 on a modded Hayabusa
Around 170 in the NSX

Just made a trip from Dallas to Gulfport,MS (658 miles ) in 6hrs 23mins this weekend in my wifes new car. :biggrin:

[VampNSXX]

150-155 on my first NSX on the freeway. It was stupid of me to do this but well I was 25 years old and thought that the world was in my hands. :smile:

it did feel good but scary.

 

[MiamiMermaid]

162 in my NSX on Alligator Alley towards Naples ! Thank God for Angels *~ :wink:

 

[dave22]

167 indicated in my S2000 last year.

 

[dave22]

121mph in a toyota previa alltrac with 238k miles on it (not in the US)

Awesome!

 

[Ruined 2]

Young, stupid and fearless:

-Buried speedo in '66 Pontiac Catalina 4 door hardtop with power drum brakes on PA turnpike (120+).

-Passenger in '69 Camaro. Not sure how fast exactly but the little needle was way down by the AC Delco logo in the 6 o'clock position on the speedo, on road (?) from Edinboro to Erie Mall (also 120+).

-135 in an '88 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe on I79 coming home from Grove City College. Took about a month to get it up to that. What a pig.

Older, still stupid and scared to death:

-135 in '02 S2000. How the hell did you guys get to 160+? I could never find enough road or be comfortable enough with the turbulence.

-130+ in the NSX last Sunday. 5th gear at 5500 RPM and smooth as silk. Top out, windows down, hoodie slapping me in the side of the head. Ran outta straightaway. :smile:
