110 in my old Cavalier 92 z24. not clocked.

clocked at 80 on my motorcycle. Pissed off the deputy when I stopped and he realized it was me. Thought he had a good ticket. Glad he only got me at 80, cause I ended up doing about 110 before I stopped for a stop light.

top speed, 145 on a motorcycle.

The Salt Flats are great. Fastest I've ever gone was on the salt flats. I'd guess about 135-140 mph, but I don't really know since the speedo stops at 125. Fortunately, there is no stopper-pin at 125, so the needle kept going. Judging by how far, I guess 135-140.

On the road, I've been up to about 90. There's a road around here that winds back and fort. Going slow you can almost keep a straight line. It's a frickin' slalom at 90. Lots of fun.

The first was obviously legal, the second I didn't get caught.

I've only ever had one speeding ticket, and that was like 58 in a 40, BS, I know...

As for top speeds....

Got my Prelude to 142mphGot my WRX to 138mphS14 has been just over 100mph

If the WRX had some downforce, I could've gone a lot faster. It sits all high off the ground, and it didn't have a wing of any kind. That thing was shaking like a crack baby at 138, whereas the Prelude was calm, cool, and collected when going even faster.

I have also had the distinct (and frightening) pleasure of riding shotgun in a 911 Turbo S at 177mph, which was f#$king terrifying, but still super cool.

Clocked w/ ticket: 114mph in a 60mph (If I find my ticket I'll post it)

Non clocked: I use to hit that speed everday on SR14 towards Camas. before I modded my 240.

Now that I have it modded I dont speed... Not worth all the work when you get taged.

Been 120+ in my friend's prelude on our roadtrip to alabama. We actually blew past a cop doing a little over 100. He threw on his blue lights for a second, then turned them off. We got the hint and did the speed limit the rest of the way. Anything over 100 gets pretty scary on the streets, especially when the onlything to stop you on the side of the road is trees.

Got "paced" for my 1st ticket was 61 in a 45. Accused of street racing....Next was a 47 in a 30. I was going 34mph. All my friends were with me. Got the ticket form a cop who has written 500 tickets to my high school in the past year. Last was 82 in 60 chesterfield VA. Fastest I been is in my 240 was next to my friend in his civc and he was reading 140mph. Topped my car out about 15 times that night. There was 20 of us that went to to track only 3 raced. On the way back one big race. Car would cut at 115 sometimes and other times it would just keep going. Craziest was going 90 on a loose gravel road in a geo tracker and my friend pulled the ebrake on me.

I had to quickly pass a Dodge Neon at the speed and when I shot around the neon and a friend of mine in a Nissan Sentra 1.8L passed me running about 125 mph or atleast that is all we could come up with considering the gauge stops at 120 mph.

I just wished I had a picture of the lady face when I came by her

Also you would be suprised at the way this thing stops

No ticket here either. But have been 154 in my friends mom's 99 TA. That was a rush so I am sure 185 had you tingling from head to toe.

I was clocked doing 55 in a 30 while I was driving my parents Ford Aerostar. I've hit the governor in my 240sx many a time. But the fastest I've been in a car was in my friends Mustang Cobra we did 150ish.

ok, turbo cars just accelerate so quickly. you can be trying to pass someone and WHAM, your going way too fast. you dont even need to downshift.

I got my truck to 97. It was like pushing a brick through air. I also got my first speeding ticket for doing 30 in an empty construction zone! Second was an alleged 81 in a 55 also in my truck. None in the '40.

115 in a 55 in 1995 in an 85 Chevy Caprice 4 dr. ticketed.140 on same stretch in an 85 Corvette 4+3 speed. open road...no traffic.135 in 65 on I80 in east-central Iowa in 03 in a 91 GSX @1230am...no cops

So, when the cop pulls me over, the first words out his mouth were "someone put a dragstrip out here and not tell me about it?" Oops...im busted...lol.when i went to court for the first one listed, the judge asked the SA what he recomended for a fine, the SA says, $75 and courts costs, one year court supervision...got outta that one easy.
