94 Ford F150.

My engine did that shut off somewhere after that and for a second I thought I had really really screwed up

1977 Camaro. The front end was floating all over the road. I didn’t stay there long.

1986 Acura Integra LS. It was a fun little car until I wrecked. It was my mom's, I still feel bad about it.

1973 thunderbird might have had the largest production engine ever made

460 cubic inch 7.5L V8

but it got 8 miles to the gallon and weight about 2.5 tons so it was not quick, but man that thing glided on the roads like a yacht.

Porsche 911 Targa.

My dad was at office party after work on Friday and had too many cocktails and he gave the keys to me to take the car home while he got a ride home from one of his friends.

There was an open stretch of open highway on 61 and I punched it and got it up to 100 pretty quickly. I was 16.

That's pretty impressive for a Honda Civic.

The fastest I've ever driven was 145 in a Doge Viper. It had more. I didn't.

I think it was an '84 or '85 Toyota Celica Supra. I say "think" because the digital speedometer topped out at 97 mph. Whether the car was governor limited, or the speedometer wouldn't go higher, if I didn't hit 100, it wasn't because I didn't try.

I did it in 1986, on Burbank Drive, which at that time was a freshly completed 4 lane stretch of no development and hence, little to no traffic.

1969 Camaro.

Speedo went up to 120 and I hit that. Who knows if it was accurate, needle started bouncing around like crazy at 120.

Probably a Saturn SL.

Put it in sport mode to get there.
