80 is most certainly NOT the norm on 440.
This observation is made between 830-9 and 530-65/28/2008 9:14:21 PM |

80 is definitely normal for 440 as long as it is not a clusterfuck might even be a little bit slow for 540 5/28/2008 9:17:29 PM |

^ I do 80 or 85 in the non left lanes and there are always folks going faster. I had my exSHP crown vic to 110, it was floating a little too much for me but still had some left, they cut out at 128 or 130. 110 on a bike back in the day on the beltline at 3am. the white dashed lines go solid. 5/28/2008 9:48:50 PM |

I've been around 130-140ish in a C5 Z06, an 03 Cobra, and a 94 Rx-7. Fastest I've ever gotten my 7 up to is not much more than 120, and I think the gearing is only good to 160 (although it should have enough power for at least 180). I don't get a big kick out of top speed runs though. 5/29/2008 12:15:51 AM |

40hp turbo diesel + more b00st+ fairway mower hydraulic pump ~31 gps
Story... we changed the wastegate spring cause the turbo dared us to... broke the stock pump... mechanic found out that the fairway mower pump (we kept spares cause couldn't afford to have a fairway mower down) fit but was over 2x the capacity... we gave it a shot and until the replacement stock pump came in had a lot of fun.

My friend sold his Cayman S last week.
On his last day with the car, he did 165 mph on a highway. When he was going 137 mph, he got a ticket, but the ticket only said 87 mph.
BTW, the Cayman S tops out at 171 mph, and he said beyond 165 mph, it was almost impossible to increase the speed. 5/30/2008 6:18:40 PM |

BBC asked to fire Clarkson for admitting to 186 mph joyride in Veyron
Quote : | "Here's a news flash: Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear fame sometimes drives really fast. But it isn't a speeding ticket that has landed Mr. Clarkson in hot water, it's a recent admission during an interview at the Hay Festival in Powys, Wales that he drove the insanely fast Bugatti Veyron 186 mph on public roads. The overly honest answer to the question "what's the fastest you've ever driven" has public safety activists asking for Clarkson's curly locks on a platter. Mary Williams of Brake called the TV star "offensive and irresponsible," and said that the BBC should fire him.
While we're big fans of Clarkson, driving 186 on public roads is incredibly dangerous both to himself and for others on the road. And doesn't Clarkson have an airport runway for going as fast as he wants whenever he wants? Having said that, he obviously didn't get caught doing anything wrong, and hasn't had a speeding ticket in 20 years, so calls for his job are more or less annoying and wishful thinking. " |

Dunno how I missed this thread first go around.
-135 in the GS-R on I-485 at 3am (speedo-indicated, not GPS). She still had more, but I chickened out. Top speed is listed at 137, but I'm not sure if thats drag or redline. -almost 120 in the GS-R at Roebling Rd on the front straight.
within the past month about 110 going to HHI in the GS-R, as well as 110 just bombing around Charlotte in an S2K.

Ive hit 174 in my trans am.. fuel cut was eliminated with ls1edit. more power it woulda gone faster for sure. i was afraid to hit the nitrous at that speed
117 was the limiter in the 240sx, but wiht a auto ecu ive had it up to 130 (all stock motor). im not sure how much more it had in it
both on gps.. ta speedo ends at 160 and 240 speedo goes to 110
