168 and change... in a stock car at TMS. :burnrubr:
And I've got video... me crawling out of a stock car is not a pretty sight. Something akin to Uncle Jesse getting out of the General Lee.
I've been over 160 MPH before in a Cobra (In Montana before they had speed limits) I caught a little air at a few spots. It was pretty cool. I made about 350 miles in about 3 1/2 hours. I had to stop at a thrift store half-way to my destination, that took a little time ;-)
But yeah, that Bugatti is bawlz to the wall. I didn't think they had anybody willing to drive it that fast due to unstability over 200mph. I could be wrong though.
As a driver, ~190 (speedo had not been recalibrated after gear change yet) in a mildly modified Viper.
As a passenger, 205 in a friend's twin turbo Callaway Corvette with a few tweaks done!
I have one of the videos somewhere that used to be on the racingfreaks website.
This post need a link to a video clip of you wiggling out of a window. My first 160+ was going to work one day at 4:15 AM. The wind drag from my backpack almost peeled me off.Quote:

I didn't know your Toyota Pick-up would go that fast ;-)Quote:

180 MPH!:D in my dad's Mooney.
110 MPH in the MSM.
75 in my '04 Honda Civic Hybrid
120 MPH in my '95 T-bird.
1000 PRM over 85 in my 1980 Dodge Challenger. (85 MPH was at the peg.)
85 in my '74 Fiat X-1/9
85 MPH and getting passed like I was sitting still by every other car on IH-75 toward Atlanta in my 1982 Chevy LUV Diesel and the Cop just looked at me as if I was crazy as he spead on by at 100.
The speed limit, whatever it may be.
:clap: I haven't thought about that movie in years...Quote:

Hwy 121 just out of Lewisville, heading towards The Colony.
126 in my buddy's '00 Civic Si (on this trip I squeezed out 18 mpg out of an entire tank of gas on I-20 - no stops!):

160 in a '93 RX7 (best car I've driven at high speed)
155 in a '95 Z28 (the side windows won't seal above 110, and it gets kinda floaty and rough)
145 in an '84 BMW 745i (800 miles door-to-door to New Mexico in 9:50, including 2 stops for gas, and 30 min stop for a speeding ticket outside of El Paso)
112 in an '86 Subaru (dangerously overloaded with crap, downhill with a stiff tailwind, scary stuff...)
