Mike Isles 583 Posted December 7, 2021 My 19 year old took a trip with friends to Colorado and I have Life360 app. Today it showed his top speed was 114 mph. I called him and was like WTF and he said it was a straight run in the middle of nowhere no other cars. No turns. Just felt comfortable. I don’t think I have ever driven that speed. Definitely into 90’s but doubt I went beyond 100 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drizzay 699 Posted December 7, 2021 Maybe broke 90 once. I don't have the need for speed, or a car that could handle it. Have ridden in multiple cars that have kicked in the governor, though. Not as fun if you don't necessarily trust the person behind the wheel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fandandy 3,313 Posted December 7, 2021 I owned a Mazda Speed6. I managed to keep it on 4 wheels for maybe a week. I had that going as fast as it could go in a three-mile stretch. I'd say over 130. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brad GLuckman 519 Posted December 7, 2021 Used to drive from Yuma, AZ to Phoenix, AZ every weekend in my early 20s. There was a long straight road with no traffic and I got up to 110. It just felt reckless. Henry Ruggs went 156 mph on a residential street and I just can't imagine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I-8, that's the road I drove 100 on. With perfect alignment you could just tie a rock to the accelerator and go to sleep, that road is so straight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BunnysBastatrds 2,321 Posted December 7, 2021 119 in a convertible on I-10 in New Orleans. Eating a bag of funjons, drinking an orange Fanta, and listening to AC/DC HighwayTo Hell. Dumb but fun. Got pulled over and was ticketed for 104. Got out of it. How, I still don’t know. Years later right after Katrina, I had the interstate all to myself. Got it up to 101 and slowed down. Driving an Explorer. Told myself, you flip this fawking SVU, you’re dead. No paramedics and no hospitals close, you’ll die. Had I been in a vette, hmmm!!!

Gepetto 1,292 Posted December 7, 2021 I don't remember really but I want to say in college I had my '86 RX7 over 100 but probably under 110.

There's a slight bump at the end of that bridge I never really felt going usual speeds. I caught a bunch of air coming off that bridge and hit my head on the ceiling of the car. Thought I was a goner, but that piece of shìt tercel took it like a champ. In reality I probably was only an inch off the ground but it felt like a Dukes of Hazzard jump.

BiPolarBear 483 Posted December 7, 2021 Buried the needle at 130mph, and top ended a Boss 302 Mustang on highway 5. He left me in the dust, until he ran out of gears. I was in a 1970 Alpha Romero Spyder. 155 as a passenger in a 911 Carrera, that was a special build, ordered from Germany. At 155, it jumped when my friend hit the gas. Fantastic road feel at high speeds. We ran out of road on Coast Highway, between Dana Point and San Clemente. Early in the morning, with no other cars around. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The answer is you're wrong, as usual. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
