What's the fastest you have done on a highway in either a car or on motorcycle? (either driver or passenger)

For me it would be a friends brothers Barracuda going north on Hwy#400. I can freely admit I didn't enjoy it. I was in the back seat and white knuckled all the way:) The fastest reading I saw on the speedo was 130mph.

I probably would have enjoyed it if I had been driving!

Track day of course on this badboy:

Driver: I know a 2002 Explorer will hit 105 without the limiter kicking in.

120 in a Mitsubishi 3000 GT-VR4.

It felt more like 60.

If you would like to total one and then walk away from it, I can recommend it.

That had it all, Twin turbos, AWD, 4 wheel steering (at higher speeds). Held the benchmark on R&T's skidpad for about 4 years. never been in one though.

I carpooled with a friend that owned one. It was a nice ride until we went offroading in it.

140+ in '85 Ninja 900, and around 120+ in '68 Mustang

Both long ago

Now THIS is living on the edge. Older Mustangs had horrible handling (or at least my '66 certainly did).

Imagine a 68 GT500KR. has to be an easy 150.

Just over 150 mph on my Bandit 1200 going up the 14 to Mojave.

....and old ladies in pickup trucks were still trying to pass me. Everyone drives fast on the 14.

* clarified for Nilsen

150 ...... and thats not mph, im a metric man.

Yes, i drive slow and safe and my m8's used to "tease" me for not driving like an idiot. Now they have grown up too and drive like me

140 in my dads Audi 200 turbo.

Saurdaukar · « **Reply #14 on:** July 06, 2004, 01:06:15 AM »

145 MPH on 476S. 944 Turbo. Sustained average speed of 120ish for 30 minutes.

Not the brightest thing I ever did.
