WHAT'S YOUR TOP SPEED?

[djunod]

For a long time, the fastest that I've ever been was 110. That was when I was 16 and my Dad let me drive his '68 Camaro from Greenville IL up to Ontario Canada for a youth church camp. It was on some interstate highway up at the top of Indiana, I was cruising along side of a Corvette. We did it for quite a few miles.

Then a couple of years back I took our '01 Corvette up to 145. Since I was on a interstate highway, I was scared to go any faster then that... you just never know when somebody will pull out in front of you. I only got up to that speed and then slowed back down to 80 pretty quickly.

1980,US 30 Dragstrip in Indiana.
I went 100MPH in my 72 Chevelle,then later on 120MPH in my friends white 68 Camaro,that was "the Car' back then.We really had a lot of time in that Camaro.
Of course this all happened on a SUNDAY,SUNDAY,SUNDAY!

In the Grand National I am guessing (speedo goes to 85 mph)around 100-110 mph +/-. In a 1986 Caprice (old Audubon Twp police car) 120 mph +/-.

150 on my yamaha v-max with a passenger (we were late for a wedding and we took the bike and we were in wedding gear), interesting i had a limo company many years ago and i got my 50" streatch up to 130, took awhile though becouse the guys in the back were a bunch of gamblers and wanted to bet on how fast it would go fully loaded.

99' SS Camaro 155mph+ and all alone on the Kansas Turnpike one time when new. Car & Driver had just tested one, and claimed 162mph?? The car handled worse (kind of floaty), than my Hemi Challenger at speed, so I backed off early. Numerous rice bikes much faster but always with eyes glued to the road.
This is the kicker, the wife who actually drove the SS Camaro everyday, maxed it out racing a car on a deserted stretch of I-55 between Memphis and Cape Girardeau. About a month later, she points out a car on the street, and says "that's the car that I couldn't outrun". The car was a 98'-99' Viper GTS.

The car or the driver?

Oh yeah, I forgot when I ran Annie's (aka Tabatha) '02 ZL-1 against her in Cumby's LS-6. I am sure we were well over the 130 mark on I-72 though the Chevelle was running out of poop by that point................

If you ever read any magazines that do top speed tests, they usaually point out that most car's speedometers are very inaccurate at the upper end of the spectrum, usually on the optimistic side... (speedo reads higher than the car's actual speed) Regardless, any time you get over about a buck twenty things start going by awefully fast... I remember riding in bkh's fathom green Yenko Camaro on the highway at SCR1 doing some sort of crazy speed with the factory tach burying itself repeatedly with each shift on its way to the top end... That L-88 would scream!

I'll never forget that ride. Makes me think twice when I see the term "adult driven."
