Re: So.... how fast have you driven on the street?
 

----Summer of 68 my cousin had his Cobra (serial #3003) back together after going thru another set of head gaskets. We went out for a test and he took it up to 165mph. About that time we passed under an overpass and a state trooper (Ohio) was tanding on the bridge waving his finger at us. We took the next exit and went back to his garage and pulled the door down.....Bill S

165 in my ZR1. Car felt really stable &amp; in control. Backed off because other cars were ahead in the distance. Passing is the really scary thing when your going 100 mph faster than the other vehicles.

Re: So.... how fast have you driven on the street?
 

Many years ago ....... before I got smart......

202 MPH on a Suzuki Hyabusa on the 241 toll road ..... and 187 on a Suzuki GSXR 750 off of Ortega HWY.... both on film.

I no longer own any motor cycles and my daily driver is a Dodge R/T Van. However I have .... allegedly drivin my 2016 Porsche 911 S real fast from time to time, but nothing like when I road motorcycles. I actually rarely exceed the speed limit anymore and am suprised how fast people drive on the hwy.

Re: So.... how fast have you driven on the street?
 

120 mph on Route 1 Trevose/Pendell in a '71 Nova, 250 straight 6, powerglide and 3.08 gear in an open rear; once, and only once! I think it took about 1.5miles to get up to that speed (partially down hill). The speedo was bouncing all over the place, and the car was light in the front and tough to manage. I pegged it, mission accomplished - never again, drag strip only....

Yep, down the hill past Neshaminy mall or in the other direction past Langhorne speed shop down the hill. We used to take my buds 70 SCJ Torino on the on ramp by Langhorne speed shop and go wot down the hill towards the mall and bury the speedo all the time [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

I hit 175 at Circuit of the Americas in a 918 Porsche last May. It was a charity event that I won. No, I wasn't driving, but it was a fun three laps as a passenger.

Re: So.... how fast have you driven on the street?
 

The most memorable high speed run was in my '78 Trans Am, going 130 over the New Stanton bridge on I-70 heading back to Rt 51, coming back from some place I probably shouldn't have been, in the middle of the day. It was fun until the front of the T/A started floating around and then it was time to shut it down. Stupid kids.

New Stanton bridge?!!! I'll bet yr car was occasionally skimming the surface of that pot-holed, rutted road surface if I remember correctly!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img]
