what's the fastest you have drove your car?

[erickson]

This was last year in my Hellcat. one and only time.

 

[1967coronet440]

Hit 167 in my srt Charger once, these late model hemis pull hard well past 100

 

[Moparstyle]

Yup my srt magnum I had did 165 little sketchy in a wagon lol

 

[66383]

The fastest I HAVE DRIVEN in the 66 Satty is 90 mph. Still pullin'!

 

[68383GTS]

135 in my 70 Road Runner 383. And 120++ guessing 130 in my A12 Road Runner

phucking phast, in my dad's 70 sport fury 383, racing some dude up rt 41, a long time ago. 90+ (that was dumb)
really phucking phast, in my new to me 68 charger 440. just got her the day before. on a wide 4 lane rt 14 just north of devon. opened her up as i approached the devon light, alleged hi rate of speed thru the intersection. next light is at least 1.25 miles, forest preserve on one side. late at night. i was the only car out there. saw the lights waaaaaay behind me. pulled over, sat on the trunk waiting for the law. only got a 11 over ticket. she was over 95
phast, in the 'vert on I80, 90ish for a short burst, last summer

About 140 in my Challenger RT about 40 years ago. These days in New Jersey, I can almost get up to the posted speed limit occasionally! LOL

Nice. The Coronet gets weird over about 121. I sensed that it started to lift. I slowed down, but it was still pulling. 119 feels good. Still confident. It's not how fast you go, it's how fast you go fast.

My 67 R/T has a 150 speedo. Seen it at 140 + twice in the 40 years I have owned it. Don't know how accurate it is, but plenty scary fast enough for me....

 

[oldbee]

146 indicated on the 150mph speedo with the stock 383,3.23 gears in 1969.

 

[VANDAN]

May 2016, 135-140 on a local Expressway, cleaning out the winter cob-webs,on the way home from storage. Sunday morning, no traffic, and it had more to go. 1970 Challenger R/T SE, 383, 4-spd, 3:23's...

150 calculated (by a good tac.) in my 68 hemi RR.--Never again--that is NOT an areo car.

165 in my Hellcat felt like 90. A nice cruising speed

 

[steve from staten island]

Thread has come up before. I did if i remember, around 55-60 maybe in my fathers 48 CJ2A on the Expressway back in 1970. That was flying and i did get scared.

 

[66 Sat]

I hit 5,500 rpm in my 69 Barracuda with a 2.76 rear end, 14" wheels with 205/60 tires from memory. I thought it calculated out at 148 mph, but happy to be proven wrong. The speedo only read to 120 mph. This was a lowly 318 car, with an Edelbrock Performer Cam and Intake, 600 Holley, headers, flex fan, windage tray etc. It was pretty fast for such a mild motor.

When I had my 67 GTO back in the 70's racing another GTO one night I never realized how fast I was going until a car pulled out in front of us. I glanced at the speedo and it was buried before hitting the brakes..

WOW!!! You did 198 mph with your drivers door open.

 

[slimt]

All I can say.. is I Lost my Licence for 2 years via the good old aircraft patrol.. and a few Cars blocking the highway as I approached.. it was a expensive lesson learned.. I just bought a 73 Pantera prior to that time.. sold it soon after..

165 in my 12 corvette with supercharger, cam, and meth injection. 671 rwhp. This was on a closed runway for a 1/2 mile event in Ocala, FL. Still pulling REALLY hard. I would NEVER do that on a public road. I have way too much to lose!

Glad to hear you knew when to get on the brakes --being on a runway. There are many roads that would be good for run testing but those pesky folks that are going somewhere tend to use them too and at the damndest times.
