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:

(All as the driver)
They've gone plaid! :DQuote:

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...)
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:

S.
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:
