In real life,what's been the fastest speed you've driven in a car ?


Irrespective whether it was your own (current or previous) car or someone else's
(whether you were the one driving, or you were only a passenger doesn't matter),
what's so far been the fastest speed you've driven, without crashing and
harming anyone and/or also physically damaging the car. It doesn't matter if
it was on a road, or on a race track.

If it's miles, please covert it to a km figure as well and please elaborate on
what the serious or humorous circumstances of driving so fast far were.

I typed lol but I'm not laughing.

reply

I was in my z/28 camaro. It feels really stable and quite a rush.

reply

105 mph/170 kmh on a long straight stretch of road in southern Sweden. Could've gone faster cause the road was empty, but didn't dare. It was in some kind of 1993 Toyota, don't remember what.

120 mph in my Mustang. I was 16 & stupid & wanted to see if I could get my car up to 120. I did & thankfully I didn't hurt myself or anybody else on the road.

reply

Holy *beep* That's scary, it's the EXACT same for me. 170km/h (couldn't get it up faster), southern Sweden, long stretch road, and a Toyota, Corolla I think.

If you also did it about a year ago, I'll start to freak out.

225KPH 1993 Honda Prelude Si

I had a Z28 Camaro years ago and I got it up to 105. But where I am, we don't have a long stretch of straight road, and I had to slow down because I came up to a curve. I'm sure I could have gone faster had I had more room, but yeah, it is quite a rush. I loved that car.

I hate IMDb sometimes! They are never any when you need it.

115 mph (185 kph) in a '69 Chevy Caprice (luxury Impala). I was on a very straight, flat and mostly-empty stretch of the I-5 freeway in Southern California with no decent scenery and bored out of my skull, so I figured I'd top out that old 350. Tried for 120 (highest speedometer reading), but the engine was howling and after 10 seconds with the pedal to the floor and the needle staying at 115 I started slowing down. Car seemed solid but like all old fullsize cars it had that sort of "floating on a cloud" ride and insanely numb power steering. Also the weatherstripping was old so the wind noise was unbearable, and it had nonpower drum brakes on all four wheels so if I'd had to stop at any time I would have been screwed. Runners up:

'08 Toyota Prius: 105 mph, around midnight on the 101 freeway, boredom-fueled top speed attempt in my mom's car. Didn't feel that fast thanks to the isolation-chamber feel of a new car, but the engine sure hated it. The gas mileage meter was in the single digits.

'86 Chevy El Camino: ? mph, definitely over 90. 1 AM or so, "racing" a 90s BMW 3-series on the 101. We were pretty evenly matched though he beat me on the gas a couple of times. Car seemed pretty damn solid and the engine felt like it could handle more speed, but I slowed down and let the Bimmer pass once I saw the taillights of some slower-moving cars up ahead. I really to find a 140mph speedometer.

185mph in a friends Lotus Carlton/Lotus Omega which is 298km or thereabouts.

Dead of night on a motorway with a huge long stretch, just wanted to see what she could do...... scary as hell!

I got up to 110 in a Honda Accord on a 45mph 2-lanes in each direction street.

Was kind of dumb but it was late at night and I know cops never patrol that part of the road. Was fun but a little unstable.

Next time I'll make sure to have a better more stable car.

reply

Oh i forgot to add that me and my best friend got to 110 in his corrolla.

Civics better hahaha. we were going on a fifty mile drive from our town to another.
got there in about 15 minutes.

I typed lol but I'm not laughing.

I did 155mph or 240kilometers in a 2000 Lexus GS400.It was like a magic carpet,it drank a lot of gas.I watched the fuel needle sink!

200Mph (=Kph?) in a 430C.I.,550+Hp. Big Block powered '81 Z28 Camaro,on the Autobahn in Stutgart Germany.The wind force was so great,it caused the windshield trim,all three pieces,to simultaniously lift off, and hover about a foot in front of the glass,for a split second,then fly up over the car,like the sections of an Apollo rocket separating.

reply

of course, keep in mind that a speedometer may or may not be that accurate at high speeds, but i was pretty much the king of triple digit driving in *beep* vehicles when i was young. in fact i think i did almost all of my really crazy driving when i was 16.

my highest outright speed was 135 (216) in a crappy mazda 626.

i think the worst one is 110 (176) in a stake truck though. a stake truck the weaved badly when you hit 55 (88) in it.

i don't know what i've gotten up to in a motorcycle. i think 125 (200) is the max. i've definitely had some rides though where the average speed was ridiculous, like where it you can tell you did double the speed limit on the freeway the whole time.

reply

I live in England and I've had my car up to around 115/120 mph. Not sure what that is in Km.

Oh, and I don't own a fancy car. I drive a VW Passat.

reply

A little over 100mph (161kph) in my 1995 Civic following someone on a vacation traveling on I-40 from Oklahoma City to Santa Fe, NM. Average speed was probably 85mph (136kph), but I lagged behind a few times because of traffic and had to catch up. The people I was following were in a minivan.

reply

135 in a bone stock MKII supra. The front end started to float and it was time to slow down.

reply

I drove my father's Fiat Stilo SW up to 210 Km/h on the speed meter which means it was 200 Km/h for real

reply

My dad got his Dodge Ram 2500 to 115 once.

Acctually got pulled over by a police after doing 270km/h(167,8mph) on the same highway and didn't even get a ticket just a stern telling off. Speedlimit is 110km/h (68,35mph)

reply

I have a friend that is a cop and works at my school as the student resource officer me and him are pretty tight.

he put his lights on pulled me over (note i have dark windows)

No lie, he pulled me over shined his light at me saw it was me.

Replied

"God Damn it Austin."

Walked back to his car and left.




I typed lol but I'm not laughing.

200 km/h with a opel vectra on german autobahn, no speed limit there ;)

reply

75 mph in my Geo Prism...

reply

just under 130mph in a 1.7i ford puma.

reply

+180Mph in a Ferrari 512BB Boxer, racing a 25th Anniversary Countach along the A49 between Lymm and knutsford in Cheshire, cira 1989.

Should point out that I wasn't driving though (I was only 10 at the time) and the exact figure is unknown...It's not easy to focus on a speedo from the passenger seat at that kind of speed, but the needle was well clear of the 180mph mark.

Frazza won by the way. Just!

With my own car, I once nudged 145mph in my old Alfa 156 GTV6. There was more to come and the car was only held back by a lack of bravery and/or tallent on my part.

reply

Easy to tell the americans - not much over 100mph unless it is tuned ...LOL

Most standard cars i the UK top 100mph easily - I used to regulary run 120-130mph in 10 year old rover with no problems.

Probably would have topped 140mph with a service!!

At 16 I would top out my V8 Cougar XL7 at 113mph on a regular basis. Tuned it up at 17 and it topped out well above the 120mph speedometer. I wish I still had that car, what a blast!
