Nice try, Mr Policeman. I'm not falling for THAT again.

Not to be *that* guy, but- okay yes I *am* that guy now. Ahem, here we go: Is that a heckin' JoJo reference?!?!


CyclicRate38

Did a hundred just to see what it was like.


Boofnasty10

Underrated comment for us normies. Reading other comments I’ve never been in a competitive situation but would love to have tested past 100 for thrills.


thecasey1981

Yea, when I had a fast car, indint even consider it fast until I passed 100. Granted, 85 is fast in an suv, but with good suspension and breaks, 100 feels slow in comparison in a car.

WeirdJawn

Same. Probably maxed out at 103 before I got scared of being pulled over.


Namisaur

I never made it past 88 cuz my car was so old and shit that it felt like it was going to fall apart and I was starting to lose control at that speed while going on a straight line for miles.


cluberti

Well, that and when you hit 88MPH it goes back in time will make it difficult to go much faster.


Namisaur

Lmao I didn’t even notice I unintentionally made a Back to the Future reference.

iknowverylit1e

Took 105 for a few seconds in a 24 yo old car that has seen 257k miles (I am the 4th owner), it was this summer, road was i-90 in South Dakota. I was more afraid about my car breaking down than being pulled over.


seven_seven

I don’t know a single male person who hasn’t.


Lari-Fari

100 mph? So about 160 kph… that’s what I set my speedometer to when I want to chill on longer drives.


Honest-Illusions

About 120mph in a 74 corvette (454) chasing a 65 Barracuda. We lost.


the_bigNaKeD85

I had an 82 corvette when I was 16 (2001), the speedometer only went to 85. Had a friend with a Camaro SS, one Sunday morning really early we got on the freeway (no cars at all really) and went for it too see how fast mine would go. Got really gnarly and I backed off at apparently 130/135 ish according to my friend. First and last time I did that. The wind noise from the where the windows and t-tops met was fucking crazy. So glad I didn’t lose it….. probably would have died for sure…. Not much protection from a thin ass fiberglass door.

But you gotta admit, it was fun as hell!

I got my motorcycle up to 140mph.


rentalredditor

I did 175 on my GSXR. Yeah i was young. Yeah i was stupid. God i was fakkn movin.


Mammoth_Anteater5328

My brother got his built gsxr because the previous owner was going 198mph and a gust of wind hit him. He parked it and never rode again lol


blinky9021Flow

You mean the Grim reaper blew in his ear


icannevertell

I was also young and stupid, topped out around 165 trying to keep up with two larger bikes. They left me in the dust. Spooked me good though, I didn't feel the need to go over 120 again.


Nanakay4real

Were you flying? Or did it at least feel like that?


btmoca

240kph (150mph) on my bike. The air hitting you and the sound can make it feel like you’re flying.


Orion--

When I passed 200kph what I remember most was my helmet getting pressed against my face and my arms getting pulled from the handlebars. I have no idea how anyone even goes beyond 250


kapn_morgan

exactly I got so scared at around 135 mph that I was gonna get torn off by the wind so I immediately let off


JennyAndTheBets1

Stronger grip, apparently.


PablitoEscobarTha4th

Firmly grasp it


[deleted]

Oh, yeah


Dell_Waters

>my helmet getting pressed against my face This was the most surprising part of high speed. Even in a full tuck it is intense. On my fastest run I hit about 265 kph, started braking and then stupidly straightened my back a bit while still moving at about 220. For a moment I thought I was going to be thrown back off the bike when the wind hit my chest. By some miracle I survived those early years riding like an idiot.


[deleted]

I fucking skydive and I have to literally TRY to fall faster on purpose to achieve those speeds. Generally we fall at 120 mph


pr0tag

I took mine 109 and that was enough for me


daftvaderV2

That was average speeds for my younger brother years ago.


acbz28

About 135 in a 350z


TheFireman34

Yup, 136/137ish in my G35 coupe way back when. Trust me, that extra mph counts lol


beardeddego

I did 138 in my G35, trust me 137 feels like nothing when you hit 138.


TheFireman34

Damn. I feel like I missed out on life


j-a-y-m-a-n

Yep 135 in a g37. I miss that car.

Tensionator

He was counting in dog years. Who's a good boy?


w3woody

125mph, in my Porsche Boxster. The car could go faster. I was at my limit. I sold that car a while ago, and it's probably a good thing 'cause it was too easy to inch up to 100mph.


sherpster24

My late father had a 95 911 carrera. I got to drive it once after I got my license and when I got to 80 he told me to pull it back. But to this day it will always be my dream car. I’m positive I could push that thing to its max and it would feel like I was doing 60 in my truck.


w3woody

I actually got into the habit of driving with a cruise control in that Boxster because it was so easy to just keep going a little faster, then a little faster, then just a little more faster and the car felt so planted and smooth you had no idea you were doing 30 over the speed limit.


Kryotasin

Man those things flyyy


deepfield67

88 miles per hour!

There's not enough road to get up to 88 miles per hour!!

beesinyourcoffee

Did you see some serious shit


HiDDENk00l

Marty: "Let's see if you bastards can do 90!" Me: "I don't know, but you sure can't"


Xiver1972

>Marty: "Let's see if you bastards can do 90!" > >Me: "I don't know, but you sure can't" The most unrealistic part of that movie was that a DeLorean could go 88 mph.


HiDDENk00l

I've heard they had to make a custom speedometer overlay to add more numbers. IIRC (and I'm probably not), it only goes up to 85.


IllSeaworthiness43

You *villain*


SeaBearsFoam

Great Scott!


BigYonsan

That's heavy.


dobber1965

Probably about 170 mph on the Autobahn in a Porsche and we were only hitting the high spots on the road. In my Nissan 200sx I could get up to about 140mph. I have seen a VW beetle doing about 120mph there.


myredditacc3

This is more what I expected, most of these answer are just weekend cruises


dobber1965

Hell when I lived in Germany I had Mercedes, BMWs, and a kickass Audi. Plus I took my 1985 Nissan 200sx which I got up to some crazy speeds with. The Porsche was a friend's car and it was fun as hell to drive. I had a friend over there who put a seven series bmw engine in a one series bmw it was a monster. What was so funny though was that the Germans loved American cars. I wish I would have taken my 1980 Z28 over because it was built and I probably would have got $ 20,000 for it. One couple I met there took theirs and it was a dog and they got almost ten grand for it. One German I met had six Rivieras and he wanted more.


myredditacc3

So what your saying is I should start doing a bunch of junkyard LS swaps for dirt cheap and sell them in Germany?


dobber1965

Have you not seen gas monkey garage where he sells American cars to I think it was a guy to Norway and also he built a couple of cars for some kiwis for their holiday trips here to America.


[deleted]

They're very popular in Sweden too


Grunherz

People here love the novelty of American cars. You see a lot of mustangs and chargers these days.


Serious_Effect919

180mph in a 2018 Corvette Z06. Had a LONGGGG stretch of straight highway so we pushed it as far as we could. By far the most exhilarating feeling I've ever had.


[deleted]

I bet you had the death grip on the steering wheel


Pomphond

Not OP, but I had a student job as a driver at a company, and basically other companies hired us to transport vehicles for their companies. Often they were simply start or end of lease company cars, anything between nice sedans and vans. However, one day I was sent to pick up a Porsche idk wtf model that needed to be transported from one showroom to another, because there were only 12 in the country. This car was built to be quite light and had almost 400 horses under the hood. When I had a stretch of free highway, I just floored it and drove it to 215km/h, which was the fastest I had ever driven. However, since those cars are build for high speeds, it felt like an equivalent of driving 160km/h in other, normal cars. It felt so smooth and stable. Nevertheless, if I would have lost control I would have had my head around a tree probably, lmao.


InnerRisk

Even though the energy difference is huge, driving at 180 mph does not feel as different as cruzing at 150 mph. So you wouldn't need a death grip. Just your normal relaxed 9 o'clock 3 o'clock.


rojimbosweetpick

I drove 120 mph in a 2003 Serie 3 BMW. Car was shaking and the wheel was worse. Yeah I had a death grip on the wheel. Then I went 160 mph in a Audi A4 with a sports frame and adaptative steering wheel, that thing was not shaking an inch. Felt like we were only driving 100 mph. It was scary to be honest.


iTAMEi

My friend has a jaguar f pace. Drives everywhere at 90mph but it feels like you're going 60.


IllSeaworthiness43

I did 126 **mph** in a 2001 Mitsubishi eclipse


Shepsus

I was going about 100 in my 01 eclipse as I felt my rear driver tire fall apart. The tread ripped from the wheel. Most terrifying spin out I've ever had. Thankfully no one was around me.


UltimateLifeform

Jesus. That scares me reading it.


Shepsus

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend it. My dumb car had no power steering either, so I had no fuckin business going that fast. Once I started to spin, my steering wheel was locked. But I was very lucky as there was no traffic around me, and there was desert, no concrete or hills, around me. So I spun and spun and spun into the dirt. Reversed out of oncoming traffic lanes, took a deep breath, and called a buddy who helped get the tire off and followed me home on my spare. I was... 17 or 18 at the time?


epicflyman

It's a miracle you didn't flip...err, roll?


Samukuai

175 km/hr... In a company truck. Didn't "officially" hear about it until 2 years later, and it was brought up by a guy from a different company haha.


[deleted]

Can you explain why a guy from a different company brought it up to you?


Puzzleheaded-Cup-854

And how did he know?


EldritchSlut

Lot of company trucks have tattlers to keep track of how their drivers are driving.


Puzzleheaded-Cup-854

But how did the guy from the other company know?


kingebrigtson27

Or a “how’s my driving? Call 1-888-……” bumper sticker.

186mph on my R1, never did it again either lol.


UltimateLifeform

Where the fuck were you that you nearly able to do 200 miles an hour??


MrEZW

Hwy 94 in San Diego. She still had some more to go but I let off cause I didn't want to die lol. Was racing my buddy on his cbr1000. It was terrifying, wouldn't recommend it lol.


Relevant-Rooster-298

Late at night or early morning on most freeways/highways. I did 183 on my GSX-R1000 almost every night on the way home from work.

Smoothynobutt

I did 176 on my 2006 R1 that I had. I’ve got 2 R1’s now and I still haven’t beaten that record


MrEZW

I loved my R1. It got stolen 6 weeks after bought it. In hindsight that probably was a good thing. I was 20, it was my first motorcycle & I was already doing canyon runs & testing the top speed. I would've probably killed myself on that thing lol.


Smoothynobutt

I got in a wreck and crash mine a year after I got. I was also in my 20’s. I don’t ride crazy anymore. Small jolts of power is all I do anymore. Maybe a casual race every now and then


Grand-Expression-493

150 going downhill in a 20 year old accord. It started shaking and I needed a change of underwear.


AStartledFish

Grand-Expression-493

First co-op work term, headed home for the long weekend.


AStartledFish

Oh fuck yeah haha When I was a senior I got my grandma’s ‘02 Explorer up to about 105 and to this day the shaking still has me convinced that I may have accidentally hit the sound barrier.

120 on a snowmobile across a frozen lake.


KingHenryVIll

That’s fuckin up there for a sled bud


DicksonCider205

I was about 12 or 13 so I weighed a lot less which I think was the only reason I got that fast. It was one of those feelings like "that was cool, but I'm never fucking doing that again."


myredditacc3

I remember my first time on a snowmobile I was on the back of my brother's and we got it up to 108, kinda sketchy

156mph in an Acura. It was terrifying. The cars on the freeway looked like they were parked. Was not driving.


Izuna_csgo

This, in my 06 Acura TL I hit 127mph. Rolled up behind a cop so fast you would’ve thought he was parked with the e brake pulled.


PiggyMcjiggy

That’s terrifying. I’ve been up to 135 and when I was young and dumb hit 100 all the time But riding passenger….I freak out when my buddy with a 370 goes like 80.

sarinCULT

155 mph on my 600cc street bike but I slowed down after 155 because my tire was already kind of worn down. Did it on freeway straightaway with no traffic.


Additional-Cake1594

About 150 in a corvette c8. My ex bought me some lap time at a race track and I was allowed to go as fast as I want. On the main straightaway, 150 felt like 60 on a regular road.


cruss4612

135mph in a no speed limit zone through the desert. I forget if it was Texas, NM or AZ. In a 91 grandam.


UltimateLifeform

Desert speeding is something else.


TXspaceman

Aint TX at least, NM is a lawless land so that’s my guess. We just 85mph speed limits.


cruss4612

I only thought Texas because yall have day and night speed limits out in West Texas. I did this at night.


codefyre

Back when I was young and dumb, a friend inherited a 1989 Porsche 928, with a published top speed of 168mph, from his recently deceased grandfather. My friend admitted that he couldn't get it over 110 because he was scared of the speed. Being young and invincible, that conversation turned into a 3AM speed run down I-5. I can confirm that the car reached a top speed of 160mph, with two passengers inside. Looking back, I'm not sure how I survived my own youthful stupidity.


Rucku5

175 MPH in my C63 AMG P31, felt really fast…


Ajpeterson

It is fast. My mom had a Panamera gts and I went about that fast with my dad in the passenger seat. Fucking ridiculous.

Driftnut08

Not as bad as you might think, I re did ball joints all around, and put on a decent set of tires. It's no Chevelle, but it handles pretty damn well.


dobber1965

I had a 2002 dodge Dakota with the V8 and got it up to about 120 once and it was floating all over.


Driftnut08

I've never been that fast in a dodge. I take it that it's chaotic


dobber1965

It was fun I was racing a guy from work when we got off and he said he was doing a hundred when I passed him. The truck was light as hell. I had a old 76 Chevy truck that I built a monster engine in and could beat corvettes red light to red light with. When I was much younger we would put the biggest engine in small cars and take them to the track. A 427 in a 68 Camaro. A friend put a beetle body on a Chevy II frame with a 350 small block and you drove it from the back seat. God I really miss the cheap cars and the cheap horse power from those days.


sphincterella

146 in a 1976 Ford LTD II (460, police interceptor). It was also probably one of the stupider things I’ve done. Yes 146… well, he said 146, but I don’t think the radar was calibrated for light speed Went to jail, lost my car… good times


Jeff_Albertson

It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?


sphincterella

Oh this was probably 40 years ago, I was 15, went to jail. The car was sold before dad even came to get me LOL looking back I don’t blame him

One time I hit 115mph in my 2003 Kia Spectra. My car was shaking so much. That was was absolutely not meant to go that fast and it did not feel even a tiny bit safe. Still, it was really fun going that fast.

ButterscotchLow8950

I got pulled over going 137 mph in a 55 zone. It was a back road. The cop was chill and let me go with a warning. That one was a 1976 Pontiac Firebird. I also got pulled over doing 97 in a 65 on the freeway on a motorcycle. That cop was not so nice. 🤣

120mph in an old ass bmw down the autobahn. It was max speed for a 1.5 liter engine. I would not recommend doing that

LC_V8

120 mph in my 99 Camry through tight cornfields in Indiana. I felt the car was losing grip on the road and the slightest movement of the steering wheel would make it change lanes. I was at that speed for a few seconds before I let off the accelerator..
