I have been 125 in my Subaru, it wasn't maxed out, but I didn't want to be excessive. I pass at 110 quiet a bit. I haven't had the 7 over 50 yet due to a very loose front suspension.

Oh, 130mph in the '81 on the 1/2+mile long front straight at willow springs raceway. And that was a 12a streetport that was getting tired.

135mph in my old SVT Contour
130mph in my IS300 a few times
120mph in my sister's old Probe GT
110 in my brother's 88 Supra turbo
110mph in my old Grand Am GT (fuel cutoff)
Had the needle was burried at the speed limter a few times in my wife's F-150 about 103mph indicated
100mph in my GSL-SE on Blizzaks even, but it needs some work before I trust it for much faster

I had my '79 going 175 km/h, but shut it down 'cause the rear end was making too much noise, and the front end felt really light...

that's about 108 mph...

125 in the camry
about 120 in the sa, backed out because i ran out of clear cop viewing highway. didn't really have much more if any anyway.
140 in the fc on a mad downhill section on I64 were you can easily kick up from 80 in a matter of seconds. got to 130 on flat but backed out due to dry rotted tires and blown struts. doubt i had much more to go since it is stock.

all together i've averaged 70 knotts.

About 140mph in the 1st gen. Was a 12A sp, Weber, 4.44's, etc. 110mph in the Cosmo because that's where the annoying speed limiter is.

Heh...with my stock 12a, I've only hit 105....Maybe faster if my friend wasn't in the car. I'd have probably gone faster, but I ran out of road.

160mph on a bike is FREAKING INSANE. imagine the contact patch as the bike is just stting on the ground.

maybe no more than 5sq inches front and rear. now i imagine that the contact patch deceases and u travel faster probably not significantly but @1 6 0 mph.......teshhh seessshhh

Over 7000rpm. I remember working it out afterwards and it was about 140mph. The 200kmh speedo was well off the clock.

122mph today in my '82 on I43, beeping at and passing a friend of mine, who casually grinned and flipped me the bird. Stock intake & muffler (besides K&N, cold air,& fresh RB header). I guess that's good, right?
