210 km in a 90 km zone in my 2001 1.8t jetta.

Highway speeds average 70-84mph.

Best speed 120mph

Best time 117 with a trooper in the passengers seat and he had the "white knuckle express" going on. Fear...gota love it.

In a 03 4.7 Dodge Dakota 4X4....No mods.

I am so lame.

I have done a few long runs at upward of 140 on several highway rallys. However my claim to fame was 117 in a 25. Because of me they put stop signs on a windy street all the way down. It was the stupidest thing I have ever done in my life. Almost five times the speed limit is just plain stupid.

I`d just outrun them if I passed a cop. Make sure that you get somewhere and park the car fast. If they get your plates, they`ll go straight to your house. It doesn`t really matter if they get your plates or not, cause they can`t prove that you were driving.

The fastest I`ve gone in my Alfa was over 240km/h (150mph) on `S` rated tires!!! I didn`t really look down at the speedo that much, but I watched it pass the 240 mark. When going that fast, I went around a slight bend in the highway that I didn`t realize was that sharp. Well let`s just say that I almost crapped my pants as my car drifted from the inside lane to the outside lane . I`ve just got a new Sharp video camera, and I think I want to get a clip of a 150+ mph blow-by. I`d love to hear what it sounds like with the engine singing at 6500+rpm.

Hey ryan_eyres, what town do you live in? I live in Nanaimo. I`ve only come across one other Autopian from Vancouver Island.

PS watch out for the hwy patrol.

565 knots in an RA5-C Vigilante, Key West to the central Florida coast in 20 minutes!!

In my `97 F150 4X4 XLT, 5 over in town, whatever traffic will safely bear on the highway.

147 in a Crown Vic Police Interceptor. I used to work for the Sheriff`s Dept. I was chasing an old 944 Porsche. His motor blew and he crashed out. I almost crashed from all of the oil, but I got stopped in time to pull him from the wreckage. I was also the follow car in a chase with a crotch rocket on the interstate, got up to 125, and Lt. called the chase off.

Just out of interest what [alleged] offense was committed by the driver of the 944 that warranted a chase speed of 147 MPH?

My speeding record- 16th birthday, first car, Triumph TR3A, booked at 95 MPH, must have become wiser maybe, nothing 50+ years anon

**kompressornsc** · 10-29-2004, 07:37 AM

137 in an `87 560SL with the top down. Can you say buffeting?

**I Roll** · 10-29-2004, 08:55 AM

127-Wish I had a radar dector and no speed limiter because I would have liked to go another 15mph higher.

Sometimes the reason that speed limiters are set at a particular level is due to the speed rating of the tires, fwiw.

Heh heh once you`re into the triple-digits the radar detector simply turns into a citation announcer

:p

In town within 5mph of the speed limit. On the highway about 10mph over with the ocassional "let`s open her up runs." My K40 has served me well.

I`ve touched 140 in my old integra, that was pretty interesting..

I`ve gone 155 in my cobra. The cobra took about half the time to acheive this.

Yeah, usually the 5/10 over is about all you can get away with even with a good detector, and if you`re all alone when you get hit with instant-on/laser you`re toast anyhow. When you go for the really big numbers it`s just a matter of luck. Even getting down to the limit with *heavy* braking can get you cited if the LEO wants to be a [mean guy]. And once you get pulled over, it`s all matter of how the LEO wants to play it.
