RE: Fastest you've ever gone in a car?
In a whale-tail Porsche Turbo Carrera on the autoroute about 4:00 AM, from my home in Casteau to Brussels, Belgium 310 kph or about 186 mph. My usual speed to cover that 35 mile distance was just under 130 mph, but I was late leaving for work that day.

RE: Fastest you've ever gone in a car?
165 in a Farreri Marinello last month,
car was still pulling smothly but I ran out of road (East Shore rd in PT Wasington).
It was safe 2am I was the only car on the road.
I also went 146 in my old 1985 300zx turbo on the Clearveiw,and acually passed a cop on the side of the road.
I don't know if he came after me or not I was gone !

Backseat of a '66 Mustang. I'm glad it was quick, it was very cramped back there.
Check your PM Lee.

I took my dad's Bravada to about 100 before the governor kicked in. His old Aurora was governed at 110. My 94 Mark hit the governor at 135. My 97 hasn't been much past 125. It runs out of power when it hits 4th at about 120, then i usually run out of straightaway. It's seen 120 plenty of times though.
On a bike, i've had my '79 Honda to about 110. That's about all it had in it, i was really pushing it. The bike tends to wag its tail a little bit at those speeds, it's kind of wiggling it's way down the road. Fun though. I had my friend's CBR 900 going pretty fast, probably over 110 (in a 45 }>), but the speedometer wasn't working so i really couldn't tell.
Gotta love adrenaline.

85 MPH in a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T Special Edition with the 440 Cu. In. "Six Pac" with Torqueflite Automatic & the Drag Pac with 4.11 gears, Positraction and Heavy Duty Service Pkg. (It was my Demo), and it was on the Garden State Parkway heading to the NJ Shore on a Sunday morning in 1970 in mid-April. The wind whistle from leaks around the windows was deafening. I only did it for about 2 miles.

I've hit the limiter a few times in the Mark.
Seen around 140 in the T/A but can't verify it. Speedometer only goes to 100, it was wrapped around to just under the 0 on the other side so I'm guestimateing.
Hit 120 in the Vette without noticeing. Then when I saw the speed I quickly slowed it back down.
