I drivin fastin gooder then you rite.

Around 165 on the straight while racing at MSR in Houston area.

170 and 175 both closed courses
ETA: forgot about 165 (what the spedo read, I think it was off) down Florida Blvd on a crotch rocket. Very young and very stupid.

135mph in a BMW 335 in I-94 north of Chicago during mid afternoon. It was dumb but fortunately nothing bad happened.

I drove a Ferrari 458 on a race track a couple years ago but only got it up to about 120. I still kick myself for driving that like a grandpa that day.

In a car about 105 in my 04 Caddy. Terrifying. Hit a small bump sent me way to high. Never did it again.

On a sports bike I got just over 150 a few times on 95 at night with no one on the road. Its thrilling to all hell but I'd never have the balls to do it again.

155mph in a German spec Grand Cherokee on the Autobahn.

at 17 I hit the governor on my 1997 Chevy Cavalier and thought I blew the motor. Speedometer touched 115 twice but Im not sure if thats valid.

In reflection it was dumb.

`120 in a 4 cylinder Dodge Daytona. I almost died at the S curve in front of the Governors Mansion. Didn't know that was coming up. I was 17 years old and it was a hot summer night in 1992.

155 in a GRAND CHEROKEE? Are you mad?

I used to own one and only got it to like 105. And even at that speed felt like I was driving a cardboard box.

When I was a teenager I got my first car close to like 115 driving home from high school. The service roads parallel to the canal have no traffic lights for 2 miles at a time for the off ramps. And if you catch green lights and no traffic at 3pm coming home from school it essentially is a 10 mile straight away. Sonos get off the first exit of the highway to get on the service road. And then gun it. Once I got it that high one day like another poster said the floating feeling is really scary. You hit a mold undulation in the road and you can feel the car start to lift and float a bit and you just feel less stable and less connected with the ground.

Since then I’ve hit 133. My parents live in Birmingham and I can make the drive from Birmingham to New Orleans in 4 hours. The stretch of Road from the AL/MS state line to Slidell is boring, well paved, and has no police presence at all.

120 in a 2002 Toyota Tacoma

If you've ever traveled from Fayetteville to Ft. Smith via I49 you know there are multiple downhill opportunities to do so.
