What's The Fastest Speed You Have Been

[Rick Carson]

In 1980,driving my 70 RR across the prairies in Manitoba. Took out my 3.91s put in 2.76s for the trip. L60 15s , warmed over 383 ,5500 in drive,belted tires and sitting fairly high for that game. figured 157mph at the time I remember,might have been wrong. with drum brakes and flat ground in neutral took 40 min to coast down to 50mph.

Yep, the drum brakes made better boat anchors

I have a hard time believing that a 2011 Mustang could do 208 mph.

128MPH in my 1965 Impala SS, 454 CI 564HP. Fenders and hood ballooning .....lol.

I heard that the later 50's Fords had some "floppy" fenders at high speeds! Lol

We're you sporting wheels, at least two?

Anyone can fall out of a plane. Lol (All in fun!)

Disqualified!

Well i had a 70 R/T Charger w/ 440 on Gran Turismo 5, totally tuned, weight shaved, the kitchen sink, & that is exactly what it was good for on back straight of Nurburgring....208 mph. I love underdogs.....racing the 250 mph GTP coupes.......i consistently fnished third, pulled up a second one day, fought those bastards hard on back straight, got pushed into two 360's by the wolves, got set back to 5th recovering, but never left pavement & passed the 3 fux in the last set of turns before finish line. 7 minutes, 20 seconds lap time. Unfortunately there was no small block option in tuning,,,if so i would have smoked em everytime.

130 mph in my 72 340 4 speed 355 posi road runner

yeah those things were kites at speed..

 

[Bladecutter]

The 3 318 B bods i had, no front sway bars, were good for 115 - 120 mph......not busy, waffley at all. Directional stabilty was outstanding for a long wheelbase, stock automobile.

OK khryslerkid I am going to the back of the line. Disqualified no wheels. You are right anyone can but not everyone will lol. As I said no motor no skills no intelligence.

 

[Xp29h]

The 73 charger's needle was buried several times heading down I95. Portland, Me is about 2.5 hours from my house and we made the trip in 1 hour, 15 minutes and that was with a short stop to let it cool down! Lol!

I know I had a cruiser well over that. The 96 caprice classics would fly. Evoc courses only for the big speed.

Well, like some say, I'm not jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft. I've known a couple of guys that belonged to a skydiving club and they weren't crazy or stupid. Actually they were the last that you would think would do it. I guess they liked the "rush" and I get that. I'll get my rushes on the ground where gravity intended it to be. Lol

 

[moparwacko]

67 Valiant, /6, 3 on the tree- 89 mph
It was wild

 

[Budnicks]

yeah those things were kites at speed..

MY Pro-Gas 49 ford business coupe {actually a 51 with 49 Hood & grill}
went 180+ in the 1/4 no ballooning at all,
albeit 7 Dzus fasteners holding the hood down,
the fenders were OE steel, so was the hood...
