146 in my old mustang gt, 148 in a taurus sho.
115 in my '03 Ram 3500
105 in my Saturn SL2
75 in my '72 CJ5 (It could go faster but not sure I could keep it on the road.)
I think the best was 95 MPH in the Ram for 2 hours in an emergency run from Clayton, OK to McKinney, TX. I was pulling 7K lbs. of Jeep and trailer behind me. I was trying to get a friend to DFW to catch the last flight out to California. His dad had a massive stroke in Sacramento and he was trying to get there before he passed. The interesting part is it could have gone faster.
Ugh, self-righteous people ;)Quote:

132 in the Mini Cooper S I had..... I didn't have a reflash.
In the MSM 115
In my grandpa's Lexus 158
more than enough ;)
I think the fastest was aroun 145 in an FD... Its amazing how fast you slow down from 145mph in and FD with a set of MONSTER brakes.
my 7? about 135
MSM - never really pushed it.. Might have hit 100 somewhere? (but I did 95 for about 3 hours straight last weekend on the way to San Antonio)
610mph in a Boeing 777 with a tailwind::Banana::
Fastest I have gone was when I was about half a car in front of a Kawasaki 636. He hit his rev-limiter and I still had a little bit left, but we both slowed down, exited, and talked for a bit. His speedo said 158, mine said 152, I don't know who was right.
I no longer have the need for speed.....

...anywhere but on a race track! Fastest I've been in Speedie, in SSB trim, with a draft, at Daytona was 130mph. I suspect I was close to that at Laguna Seca in the Barber Dodge, but those things don't have no speedometers! Almost forgot about a students Viper at TWS several years ago.....145, being very conservative ;)
:confused: I know GM cars are not the best but my windows were fine up to at least 120mph. Also, I had all the LG suspension bits so it wasn't too floaty til ya past 120mph.Quote:

As a passanger 190ish in a Carrera GT on I35 came up on traffic real quick
Probably could chalk it up to the "variance of mass production"... don't get me wrong, it was a great car, but a little rough around the edges.Quote:

500+ in an airliner too.
On solid ground, 125mph in a Miata on a long downhill. Don't much feel the need for speed. I'd rather be carving the corners.
AMEN to that :drive:Quote:
