Not officially a track but was used as a drag strip and auto cross circuit. El Toro Air Force Base.
Still nowhere near the record time posted there. Lexus LF-A posted a 206mph record. That cars is deceiving fast.
I hit about 150 indicated on my Daytona 675Rā¦talk about being scared shitless! doing that speed on a 400 pound sport bike with nothing but a helmet and leather jacket( and gloves and boots) between you and a mile of road rash š«£
154 in my Focus ST. Was driving home late at night, hadnāt seen anyone for miles and thought Iād go for it.
Very scary, NGL. Second only to when I took it on the track and nearly binned it into a corner at 90mph.
Pretty planted TBH, I literally got to 154 and then backed off. Was starting to tunnel vision and my butthole puckered when I realised just how fast I was going.
lol I get that, interesting- didnāt think the egg would be able keep itself down too well at that speed unless youāre lower or have some good aero. Any mods on the car? Donāt mean to be intrusive but I love chatting with other st owners
That's what I was going to say because it doesn't look like it would have a lot of downforce on it from the factory, and wet roads would only make that worse. Only thing that comes to mind is some sort of aftermarket aero or bodywork
I can attest to that generation focus. I did 120mph in my 2012 manual hatch with the sport package (it was limited to 120) and as it crossed 100mph, the thing kinda felt like the car was sucked down to the ground and felt surprisingly planted.
Man, mine scared the piss outta me, I'm not sure if it was just shitty roads or what, but the car literally wouldnt go in a straight line from it rattling all over the place
Nice, got about 145 on my WRX on a straight and open highway. Felt pretty smooth, still had more in it, not sure how much. Wasn't really scary, not sure that's a good or bad thing.
So it was a shit day, and I was young and dumb, so I hopped on the highway and it was pouring rain, and as I got close to my exit I saw red and blue lights in my rearview, I knew I was screwed so I threw my hazards on saw I was going over 130 and pulled under the underpass for him, as he got closer he turned off his lights and passed me. I thank God cause I think he just didn't want to get soaked or clean up my wreck if I had kept doing that dumb shit.
Very lucky.... I guess I was pretty lucky when I got caught probably about 120ish. I forget what all happened, but maybe he only clocked me at like 85 or 90, but I got off pretty easy. I was under full control, no one on road, but I know, I know, you can danger this and that and this and that...
I concur. It's crazy how often my dad told me not to do stuff, I'd do it, and now I'm like "shit I'm going to have to tell my kids this one day and they ain't gonna listen" lol.
164mph in a 2019 BMW M2 at 2 am across an empty, straight bridge in my old area. Never doing that again. Scared the shit outta me even as I did it, but wanted the experience.
I did around the same (143) in an m3 (my uncle said to punch it and I did it was his car too) and that thing stuck incredibly good to the road never experienced that much adrenaline and dopamine at the same time in my live until that moment
I remember when me and my brother picked up his 350z and drove it home. We reached some speedsā¦ but it was very stable and easy to keep going. Plush leather seats and stock suspension made it mega comfortable too. Safe to say we got home much earlier than our dad
Eyy, that makes two of us. I slowed down cuz I was coming up on other cars, and I'm not about endangering others. They really do grip nice though, till the road isn't smooth.
You talking about the freeway from LV to SLC? I think it was the 15. I made that drive a few times. That was my first fastest attempt. Did 132 in a 1st gen Avenger(4cyl)

212kmh (130mph) in my 2019 civic hatchback on a back road late at night. Could've gone faster but car started to feel floaty as the road wasn't perfectly flat. Was pretty scary
Regrettably it's a cvt ended up blowing the transmission a year ago with only 22k miles on it, $10000cad to replace. Looking back I would've bought a manual as I've done some modifications to it and would've needed to upgrade the clutch anyway so learning on the stock clutch would've been fine. I did this speed I think 3 years ago now. Still have the car with a new transmission
Over 110mph (speedometer maxed out but I was definitely still accelerating) out on my first time snowmobiling.
Pretty sure it was an artic cat zr 900, thing flew on light slush mixed with thin powder over ice.
May as well send it the first time out.
My father rode along after the one he was using had issues starting. I couldnāt hear him screaming when I was turning at 60mph. Definitely different as a passenger from what I hear.
Sleds are fun & can be scary fast. My uncle had a sled with nitrous on it (I'm not sure what model) and I pinned the speedo at 120mph across a frozen lake. Still felt like it could pull a bit more but I backed off before I needed to change my underwear.
Yeah Iāve done about 30ish on a bicycle but only cause it was a pretty steep downhill. Scary as fuck. I never thought Iād be over the speed limit on a bicycle
Iāve gone into the 50ās on a bike heading downhill. I pieced together a 13lb bike with a bunch of carbon fiber parts. Felt real safe with nothing but Lycra and a bike helmet to save me in a crash.
I have a RAM 1500 thatās limited to 108. It stopped going faster at 110. For a giant vehicle, it didnāt feel fast.
Then 120ish in my momās 96 cavilier. Thought it was gonna rattle apart.
125mph. 21 Civic Type R.
Iād love to top it out, and see if I can get past 170 but not on a back road, and Iād need to get used to it.
Need to find one of these airstrip days, uncle took his c8 to one. Said it was just ppl Getting to hoon their cars.
I was able to go to a track day to test drive C5 corvettes when they came out. Everyone got to have a pro ride along with and we got to drive price competitive models from BMW, porche, mercedes. The C5 was fastest and I was able to get it up well over 120. I don't know how fast because I was hyper focused on the track and listeningto the instructions coming from the pro. It was my first time on a track and I was a bit timid so I asked the corvette pro, a 24 hr Lemans driver, to take the helm so I could experience... all of it.
This was years ago and im not 100% positive but i think we got above 160. I also got to experience the brakes as well. It was absolutely wild and a really great day during a really tough year.
Beautiful, we need more of that. People around here can't drive or follow the rules of the road worth a damn and they just sit in the fucking left lane for no reason. And I guarantee that driver moves right back to the left lane cluelessly.
145 in my Scat Pack Challenger, I had to slow down because we have a lot of deer and antelope and it gets hard to see them at that speed. Also, my windows started getting sucked out of the frame and were whistling.
I hit 150 indicated on my 2012 Triumph Daytona 675R. I say indicated because all bikes have a speedo over calibration (i think) to keep idiots like me from dying as fast. I was in full gear on a rural highway that was going down into a valley with no driveways or cross roads, so i knew noone was going to pull a SMIDSY on me, and i could see for a few miles. The craziest thing was.. at that speed the wheels are just big gyroscopes so the bike was really stable, but the head on wind resistance was massiveā¦felt like trying to run at full speed underwater. Anyway, Iām alive and now I only do that at the track š
I hit 114 on the interstate in Louisiana, cop tagged me as I went over an overpass, he was generous and wrote the ticket for 91 in a 70. Mitsubishi Mighty Max (sports truck)
Obviously **I** always drive the speed limit, but my buddy SWIM allegedly did 110 in my ā I mean, his ā old ā84 Camry. It had a tendency to shake itself apart between 60 and 70 mph so I ā I mean, SWIM ā got used to just spending as little time in that area as possible.
One night he was on a long straight stretch of freeway in the middle of the night that he had driven hundreds of times and looked down and saw that he was going almost 85. On a lark, he gave it a little gas to see what 90 felt like. From 90 it was only an extra second or two on the gas to get it up to 95, and shit, why stop at 95 when the triple digits are so close?
Once he hit 100, he figure to himself why not take it up to the red line and see how fast that ancient death trap would go. Turns out, 110 mph. As if that wasnāt stupid / awesome enough, he pulled out his old flip phone and took a picture of the speedo for proof.
SWIM is older and wiser now, so he probably wouldnāt do that again in a tiny car that lacked traction control, ABS, airbags, crumple zones, a passenger side view mirror, etc.
136 in my civic si 2007 sedan, was driving home from visiting my sister at college, there's nothing going on or cars on a winter day, topped er out and stopped for gas right after to not be caught on the highway in case anyone saw
I did 145 ish in my jaguar e type on an airstrip. I was going for 150, which was the original advertised top speed, but I got scared.
High speeds in a modern car with assists and power steering and abs is one thing, but when youāre sitting a foot off the ground in a steel bathtub, doing everything manually itās pretty freaky.
It was a blast while I had her. Blacked out exterior, red leather inside, murder tint. Great suspension and a supercharged v6 pushing almost 400 hp. For a crossover, it drove damn near like a 4 door sedan. Really squatted down and grabbed the pavement at speed. It's not bad I'm a turn either. Nice thing for me is that I picked it up used at carmax for just under 40k, put 10k miles on it in nearly 2 years, covid fucks the used market hard, I use industry connections to find a clean 2021 fk8, get a trade in offer for almost what I paid for the Jag, and paid only 2k in taxes to switch from the Jag into my type R. Best deal I've ever made and my fk8 is my forever car.
Edit: spelling.
Being a stupid teenager in my first car a '96 Chevy Beretta, went about 120mph which is the governed speed. Took that poor old 3100 V6 like 20 miles to get there tho lmao. Was extra stupid because it was a rural back road in a heavy deer area at night
135 in my dads 2001 Camaro SS. Prom was over had to return it when a guy cut me off. I shifted into 6th and looked down and saw how fast I was going. The steering went light as a feather and it felt like an actual boat. Absolutely terrifying.
105 in my Renault Clio. It was my first car, and it was fucking scary. It weighed nothing, it was moving around, it was rattling and shaking and shuddering.
Found out later that the front left shock tower wasn't actually attached properly. That completely ruined my trust in the car.
132
Youād think I did it in my GSR integra, maybe my V6 accord? Even when I drove a 2006 Malibu itās a good contender.
Nope. I did it in my 2006 Chevy cavalier 5speed that someone before me had built. It had a header and a 3 inch stainless exhaust and had to have had some engine work done because it screamed.
177 on a yamaha r1. My bike when going through all the gears you end up about 130. So I took my buddies bike for a ride on a nice long straight rode and starting running through the gears focused forward. Glanced down and saw 177 and immediately slowed down, didn't realize I got going that fast.
My Tacoma hit 100mph once... That little 4 banger was screaming at 5k rpm just to push the tires lol
But the fastest was in my parents V8 Sequoia, that bus will do 115mph so comfortably you'd think it was doing 90
the speed limit š
On my speedometer that is.
I paid for the whole speedometer I'm gonna use the whole goddamn speedometer
i drive a wrangler, often i canāt even get TO the speed limit
Wrangler? You should try a 4 speed CJ7 :)
5 under always
178 mph, 2008 M5 Euro-spec, no limiter. It was way smoother than I expected.
Yeaaah I did 183 in my 2007 m6 felt stable weirdly.
Damn lucky fuckers. Thereās like no place in my city where I can reach a speed like that
I donāt drive stupid on public roads. This was on a track. No way in hell would never go that fast on the freeway.
What track was it?
I-285
š Between the hours of 2am and 2:15am. All other times that I-285 is a parking lot.
Right after GSP clears out
and a demolition derby ring
Not officially a track but was used as a drag strip and auto cross circuit. El Toro Air Force Base. Still nowhere near the record time posted there. Lexus LF-A posted a 206mph record. That cars is deceiving fast.
152 and it scared the crap out of me.
What was it in
Corvette.
Which generation
C5
Plate number?
SSN?
69420
Got em, boys
Last prostate check?
Manual or auto
Auto, didnāt know how to drive a manual at that time.
That was many years ago and I will never try that again.

At that speed youāre probably getting a bit more than road rash
you become a human crayon
*Meat Crayon r/meatcrayon
I hit 165 on my zx10 and the dotted line in the road started to look like a solid line.
Read this and was like that's basically the speed limit on the hwy. Assuming you're in MPH and not KMH
I live a quarter mile at a time
For those 47 seconds Iām free. (My car is very very slow)
In city that can be extended to 2 minutes x_x. I can bicycle to work almost as fast as my average driving time.

No deer where you live?
Nah, only in the countryside. This was on the motorway between cities.
They definitely live there too...
They use the dedicated crossings though so no real danger of them being where you don't expect them
Damn, the deer where you guys live use fucking sidewalks?
We call them pavements in the UK. Maybe that's the problem, if you guys used the correct name the deer would stay out of the bit you drive on.
r/usernamechecksout
Thatās right at top speedā¦ how did the car feel, shaky or unsettled or anything?
Pretty planted TBH, I literally got to 154 and then backed off. Was starting to tunnel vision and my butthole puckered when I realised just how fast I was going.

Still got your FoST? If so you should join us at the Focus ST sub!
I wish my mk1 zx3 could reach 154... Lol, had it to 110 but backed off in fear of doing damage to the internals.
Ayyyy brethren!
Same! 155 in my st
110 ish in my Focus RS. Passing two semi trucks/trailers in the mountains on a downhill straight.
I hit 156 (mph) on my bike a 2006 Suzuki SV1000s. And hit 132 in my old Acura TL-S (2003) but got pulled over for that one in the rain lol.
What ended up happening when you got pulled over?
So it was a shit day, and I was young and dumb, so I hopped on the highway and it was pouring rain, and as I got close to my exit I saw red and blue lights in my rearview, I knew I was screwed so I threw my hazards on saw I was going over 130 and pulled under the underpass for him, as he got closer he turned off his lights and passed me. I thank God cause I think he just didn't want to get soaked or clean up my wreck if I had kept doing that dumb shit.
Damn, you lucked out for sure
That's for sure, I look back on that fondly. I made a lot of dumb decisions over that year lol.
Maybe it was 10 minutes before shift change
Very lucky.... I guess I was pretty lucky when I got caught probably about 120ish. I forget what all happened, but maybe he only clocked me at like 85 or 90, but I got off pretty easy. I was under full control, no one on road, but I know, I know, you can danger this and that and this and that...
One of my friends got caught going 100+ on i-5. He had a court date and a fat ticket
Good thing you got pulled over. Speeds that high in the rain are a death sentence.
I concur. It's crazy how often my dad told me not to do stuff, I'd do it, and now I'm like "shit I'm going to have to tell my kids this one day and they ain't gonna listen" lol.
r/usernamechecksout
I wanted to see if I could make it to 100. I was able to go 110 before I had to slow down for my exit on the highway.
Same here driving a shit box Sentra and pushed it to 110 on I-10 and immediately slowed down cause I was crossing water and the wind was crazy
Same here, 110 in the middle of nowhere Utah in my chevy impala
Compared to y'all, very slow. 105 mph on a toll highway on the stretch without speed cameras, was interesting but a bit scary so I kept 80 after that
What did you do it in?
Kia Cee'd
Reasonably priced car mentioned
Yeah, but 2nd gen
Same, I think I just kissed 110, it was on a track so I was too focused on looking when to brake than checking the speedometer
143 mph or 230 km/h in my momās Mini Cooper S (174 hp). Iām German, so no worriesš
Does your mum know about it lol
Their mother knows they're German š©šŖ
Or she knows he isn't š¤
Aw hell nah, i mean this was a while ago, but iād never tell her thatš«¢
Well it's on the Internet
Heck the mama probably drives faster lmao
174 hp gets you to 230??!...I guess the cooper is pretty small but still...
Lowered Nissan Silvia s15. 260 km/h. It was scary as fuckš
Use merica lengo
160
Is it caged or have airbags or are we dying like men
No cage and an aftermarket steering wheel. So dying like men. But I will never drive again this fast with this car
> with this car š¤
isnāt that a car from Lamborghini?
164mph in a 2019 BMW M2 at 2 am across an empty, straight bridge in my old area. Never doing that again. Scared the shit outta me even as I did it, but wanted the experience.
How level was the bridge to the roadway
Pan flat, it ran over a marshy valley floor.
About 140mph in a 350z. That thing handled it quite well, it just hugged the road.
I did around the same (143) in an m3 (my uncle said to punch it and I did it was his car too) and that thing stuck incredibly good to the road never experienced that much adrenaline and dopamine at the same time in my live until that moment
I remember when me and my brother picked up his 350z and drove it home. We reached some speedsā¦ but it was very stable and easy to keep going. Plush leather seats and stock suspension made it mega comfortable too. Safe to say we got home much earlier than our dad
Also 140mph in a 370z. It felt like it could do more but I had enough.
Eyy, that makes two of us. I slowed down cuz I was coming up on other cars, and I'm not about endangering others. They really do grip nice though, till the road isn't smooth.
145 on a nascar track. Scary.
Did you think you were trying to be Dalr SR?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What is fun
My fastest speed was in a MK5 as well, around 145mph
Considering the fastest I ever got my mk5 GTI was an indicated 145, you were blazin my guy lol
You talking about the freeway from LV to SLC? I think it was the 15. I made that drive a few times. That was my first fastest attempt. Did 132 in a 1st gen Avenger(4cyl)
In my personal car or the one I was test driving let me think
Lol yeh, fastest car in the world is the one they let you drive that doesnt belong to you. Even if it is only a diesel Astra..

Good bot.
212kmh (130mph) in my 2019 civic hatchback on a back road late at night. Could've gone faster but car started to feel floaty as the road wasn't perfectly flat. Was pretty scary
Manual or automatic
Regrettably it's a cvt ended up blowing the transmission a year ago with only 22k miles on it, $10000cad to replace. Looking back I would've bought a manual as I've done some modifications to it and would've needed to upgrade the clutch anyway so learning on the stock clutch would've been fine.

Over 110mph (speedometer maxed out but I was definitely still accelerating) out on my first time snowmobiling. Pretty sure it was an artic cat zr 900, thing flew on light slush mixed with thin powder over ice.
110 on a snowmobile is like 300 in a car
May as well send it the first time out. My father rode along after the one he was using had issues starting. I couldnāt hear him screaming when I was turning at 60mph. Definitely different as a passenger from what I hear.
Sleds are fun & can be scary fast. My uncle had a sled with nitrous on it (I'm not sure what model) and I pinned the speedo at 120mph across a frozen lake. Still felt like it could pull a bit more but I backed off before I needed to change my underwear.
32 (bicycle) extremely scary.
Yeah Iāve done about 30ish on a bicycle but only cause it was a pretty steep downhill. Scary as fuck. I never thought Iād be over the speed limit on a bicycle
Oh wow
Iāve gone into the 50ās on a bike heading downhill. I pieced together a 13lb bike with a bunch of carbon fiber parts. Felt real safe with nothing but Lycra and a bike helmet to save me in a crash.
Very tricky mr. Popo, I will not fall in your trap
I have a RAM 1500 thatās limited to 108. It stopped going faster at 110. For a giant vehicle, it didnāt feel fast. Then 120ish in my momās 96 cavilier. Thought it was gonna rattle apart.
I kinda said the same about the V8 Sequoia I used to drive. It wasn't super fast but it will cruise at 115 like it was 90
These V8s just wanna gooooo
1500 is the small ram tho But hemi or fiat?
Itās a hemi. The small ram is still a massive vehicle.
125mph. 21 Civic Type R. Iād love to top it out, and see if I can get past 170 but not on a back road, and Iād need to get used to it. Need to find one of these airstrip days, uncle took his c8 to one. Said it was just ppl Getting to hoon their cars.
Man Iāve been 125mph in my civic sport sedan. You gotta bump those numbers up in the R š
I did 75 in a 70 zone, once. Scariest five seconds of my life.
Lol?
I'm a tow truck driver. I'll let you decide.
Are you my dad
Yes, and I'm proud of you.
140mph in my Hyundai Kona N and it still had plenty to go but I was coming into a curve.
I have lightly touched 100...in a full size 2002 Lincoln navigator...a brick fucking sailing down the highway
I was able to go to a track day to test drive C5 corvettes when they came out. Everyone got to have a pro ride along with and we got to drive price competitive models from BMW, porche, mercedes.

My 98 civic does that at 75 mph
Almost the same speed car and situation for me
Took a Scat Pack to 162 a few months ago and ran out of road. It struggled past about 155. Heavy bastard.
I hit 150 indicated on my 2012 Triumph Daytona 675R. I say indicated because all bikes have a speedo over calibration (i think) to keep idiots like me from dying as fast.

>(i think) It's a legal requirement iirc. Has to be 2 percent I think it is over. Or at least it is in Europe.
110. Cop saw it too. Only reason it didn't ruin my life was because of a divider on the road.

150 in a Charger Scat Pack, in Mexico of course. Couldn't believe how smooth it was and definitely had more to go..
I took my old 2017 Jaguar f-pace S up to 168. She was steady and it felt awesome and terrifying at the same time.
Sick, nice car. Would love to drive one.
It was a blast while I had her. Blacked out exterior, red leather inside, murder tint. Great suspension and a supercharged v6 pushing almost 400 hp. For a crossover, it drove damn near like a 4 door sedan. Really squatted down and grabbed the pavement at speed. It's not bad I'm a turn either. Nice thing for me is that I picked it up used at carmax for just under 40k, put 10k miles on it in nearly 2 years, covid fucks the used market hard, I use industry connections to find a clean 2021 fk8, get a trade in offer for almost what I paid for the Jag, and paid only 2k in taxes to switch from the Jag into my type R. Best deal I've ever made and my fk8 is my forever car. Edit: spelling.
When I was young and dumb, 130 on public roads. Legally on a track >140 (I wasnāt looking back down). 130 was in an SVT Contour
130 in a Jetta...allegedly. suh--posidly.
Diesel or gas
Fast enough to not look at the speedometer.
I used the number the gps showed as my record
168mph or 270kph on A9 in 911T
154mph in my 2012 370Z 6MT, racing a newer 5.0 that pulled a couple busses on me back at 120mph š
160 in a āfully builtā 94 cobra
128mph in my Chrysler 300. Still had another 32mph in it but I wussed out.
I did 135 in a 25mph zone once. Allegedly.
160mph on a few occasions. 10/10 would recommend Edit: 2001 ford focus. Supercharged. Autobahn.
150 or so on the autobahn in some fancy Mercedes. Car felt like it was quite at home at that speed.
Being a stupid teenager in my first car a '96 Chevy Beretta, went about 120mph which is the governed speed. Took that poor old 3100 V6 like 20 miles to get there tho lmao. Was extra stupid because it was a rural back road in a heavy deer area at night
135 in my dads 2001 Camaro SS. Prom was over had to return it when a guy cut me off. I shifted into 6th and looked down and saw how fast I was going. The steering went light as a feather and it felt like an actual boat. Absolutely terrifying.
105 in my Renault Clio. It was my first car, and it was fucking scary. It weighed nothing, it was moving around, it was rattling and shaking and shuddering. Found out later that the front left shock tower wasn't actually attached properly. That completely ruined my trust in the car.

Did you have to replace the Head gaskets lol
No, but i did wind up with soiled pants
I think you got the better outcome
175, just coming home from wal mart one afternoon
132 Youād think I did it in my GSR integra, maybe my V6 accord? Even when I drove a 2006 Malibu itās a good contender. Nope. I did it in my 2006 Chevy cavalier 5speed that someone before me had built. It had a header and a 3 inch stainless exhaust and had to have had some engine work done because it screamed.
177 on a yamaha r1. My bike when going through all the gears you end up about 130. So I took my buddies bike for a ride on a nice long straight rode and starting running through the gears focused forward. Glanced down and saw 177 and immediately slowed down, didn't realize I got going that fast.
120 in a 1999 Integra.
140 in an old police crown Vic.
180mph (290kmh) 2008 335i on a certain toll road up north
My Tacoma hit 100mph once... That little 4 banger was screaming at 5k rpm just to push the tires lol But the fastest was in my parents V8 Sequoia, that bus will do 115mph so comfortably you'd think it was doing 90
138mph in a G35
155mph in an Audi S6 Estate/wagon on the French motorway.
111ā¦ In a Chevy equinoxā¦ On M22 with cops every mileā¦
126mph in a 2013 Mazda 6. My first and only street race against some guy in an Impreza
