Whats the fastest you have ever gone?

[CMJeepster 2,777]

145 on the Parkway.

[Malsua 1,422]

Today? 104mph

in 1320 feet? 125.6mph

On the Autobahn? 139mph (225kph)

All time in a car? 147mph in a 1967 camero with a 2.56 gear ratio rear.

 

In the EuroStar 186 mph

[JackDaWack 2,895]

I know my stock CBR600rr couldn't do 150 let alone 191. But it was quite fast in stock trim.

But my Duc most certainly could on any given day (after Ferracci tuning) and still have a bit of twist left in the grip.

Track day timing, full armor and leathers....I don't condone doing this on any public street or highway. Ever.

 

It can do 150, trust me. When i hit 145 on mine a friend passed me (same bike). It tops out around 160 ish stock. 191.. is a ridiculous claim tho.

[JackDaWack 2,895]

I did a six minute mile, with wind, in Long Branch at a a race there.

 

Isnt that like 10mph? if your talking about running, that's pretty impressive.

[Shane45 807]

That has to be at least 1 Matty power at the rear heals!

[Luke_WO 11]

115 in a Honda Pilot. Badass, I know.

[Turbotezza 1]

150+ in my 90 300zx Twin Turbo many, many years ago. And I do miss that car also.

 

topped out my 86 Nissan 300zx Turbo, Not sure how fast it was though. I miss that car.

[Turbotezza 1]

Yellow smoke? Stock Pirelli's?

 

157 ran out of balls before i ran out of "go"

 

It was surprisingly stable and quiet but right around 155 it started getting a little floaty

 

[Sixtytwo327 14]

90 MPH

 

<---- in that car

[zoid 24]

I think around 145-150 or so on a Honda CBR600F4 at Virginia International Raceway down the straight.

 

Honestly it got pretty damn scary for me at that speed.

 

Keep in mind most people report the indicated speed on the speedometer which is typically off by 5% (on

the high side).

[Ray Ray 3,566]

75 MPH on Kennedy Blvd at 5pm in Journal Square in a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Hudson county peeps know thats FAST

[zoid 24]

Keep in mind guys that bikes have a pretty good error going on top. I love it when guys on 600's tell me they were doing 191 cuz the speedo said so.

 

On a closed private road of course

08 Busa racing my much lighter brother on his R1 about 180 corrected for error.

(into the 170's to many times to count)

7000lbs of Dodge Ram racing to the hospital, GPS indicated 105.

M109R about 125 when yer feet start getting heavily blwon off the foward controls

Ducati 1098 on one wheel, 110 unintentionally! 2 wheels about 165 but dont have much seat time on this one yet.

Harley Street Bob about 90, nuch much point beyond that.

 

Good point. I used to hear those claims all the time when I was into sportbikes.

 

The truth of the matter is most people do not have the skillset to push modern

sportbikes/cars to even half of their potential. Most have never touched a racetrack

or a drag strip which is required to get the most out of your vehicle. You can have

small bursts of speed on the road here and there but you have to be in a closed

circuit to really get the most out of our car/bike.

 

It's a very humbling experience.

[Ray Ray 3,566]

what zoid said, to a degree. I find that drivers in this area are better than most drivers in other states due to the aggressiveness, road hazards, obsticles, traffic, congestion, conditions, distance to destination.

This is VERY true! Go to any other state and see how they deal with traffic. In NJ we can go at a 20-40 mph pace with less than a car length

distance between us on the Parkway/Turnpike. I have not witnessed ANY OTHER STATE that can do this. Once there is traffic, an exit,

any type of congestion it comes to a standstill.

[CMJeepster 2,777]

It's a very humbling experience.

And great training. I've participated in many HiPo driving schools and find that they can train you to translate what you learn on-track into everyday driving. Like having a deer run onto the track when you're doing 100+ and know how to get the vehicle down to a safe speed without getting hurt...

75 MPH on Kennedy Blvd at 5pm in Journal Square in a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Hudson county peeps know thats FAST

 

75 on Kennedy? Were you in the back of a police vehicle? I can't even go 45 on that street without seeing a PO-PO.

[O-gre 7]

Vette top down right around 160ish when I was 28. 12 years later and 120 scares me!

[Clintoon Eastwood 2]

Guesstimated(using a GPS device) 45-50mph on a snowboard black diamond trail in Mt. Snow, Vermont.

[Ray Ray 3,566]

You may see the Po-Po, but they can't run after you. Skillz, I gots'em yo

[Clintoon Eastwood 2]

You got me Rollin over here, hahaha. You are Way TOO hood for this forum.

If you noted I did say in stock trim, and it was a CBR F2, showroom fresh, in fact I took delivery of the first one in Philly that winter they were released. I broke it in on the street and that was it.

It did not have a speedo after its second month so I honestly can't say. I actually convinced Ferracci to tune that too. I think he did it purely out of curiosity since those bikes ruled the 600 class back then. I was just starting in road racing back then so I never bothered to clock top speed as much as lap times and average speed. It was light and quick, but not like the Ducati at all. That had a dent on the tank from my helmet chinning the tank out of turns! Miss that damn bike badly.

[RecessedFilter 222]

When my rev limiter hits in 6th gear on my good ol' Yamaha. When you think about it, considering you can get up to top speed on seconds and then brake in seconds back down to highway speeds, people think it is a lot scarier than it is.

75 MPH on Kennedy Blvd at 5pm in Journal Square in a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Hudson county peeps know thats FAST

 

75 on the blvd at 5pm is very fast...through JSQ is crazy. Lol.

[rightisright 3]

175-180 MPH on my pimped 'Busa (long since sold).

158 in my programed and tuned Jag XJR. I miss that car. It was fun smoking souped up ricers in a 4000# luxo sedan. Damned recession!

 

Neither w. GPS confirmation, so the real numbers may be off.

[JackDaWack 2,895]

You can learn more about riding in one track day then a lifetime of riding. You just don't have the luxuries a track offers on the road. I'm don't get anxious on the bike, but I do take it rather easy on the streets. You have to watch everything on the road, motorist debris pot holes gravel.

[MikeK77 8]

110mph on my 2002 Suzuki Intruder...not bad for a 280lbs guy on a bike with a windshield

 

130mph in an 1993 Eagle Talon back in the day.

[RobertJames 14]

KTM Duke, speedometer was floating between 105 and 115 on I95 in Virginia.

BMW probably just 85-90 on the Taconic. Got the performance award to prove it.

Triumph 95 or so up past the Hawks Nest.

 

Yeah, I'm a badass.

[tony357 386]

125 mph in a blown warlock on the water... about 120 montcarlo and the warlock was more stable..

[Holeshot 3]

I once went 65 in a 55 mph zone in a Horomni.

[JrzyGuy30 0]

A little over 140mph - needle was past the highest it would go (120mph in 97 S14 Silvia) but a friend with a Z28 was next to me and informed me of how fast I was going.. 12 years ago. Never again though.. it'd be instant death at that speed and not worth it and I'm not 18 anymore.
