  • Fastest on a public road

    Alright, not that carjunkietv endorses speeding or anything, but im curious as to the fastest anyone has driven on a public road.

    The fastest ive been is about 110.... (my speedo only goes to 85)

    Fastest ive ridden in the passenger's seat is 125 in an 06 stang



    again.... not encouraging, just wondering

      About 120 mph. Late at night all alone. Not a very safe thing to do. But I've never been accused of being smart.

          I had a driveshaft that was out of balance, it would only start to shake over about 5000 rpm in high gear. I took it to Advanced Driveline to get it balanced. After getting it back, but before I went back to the track, I went to a local "back road" that is straight for a few miles and opened it up. I took it up to about 6000 in high gear. 4.10 gears (at the time) with 29" tall tires... I'm guessing it was around 130. Scary on a narrow road, even though I was the only one on it, driving right down the middle. You never know when a critter or any one of dozens of dangerous (deadly) uknown things will venture into the road in front of you.

          The vibration was gone though. ;D

          speed calculator says 126.3mph.

            My oldest freind in the world called the other night, he is into Bikes, he said his new bike goes 187 he always wanted to go 200 on one, but the difference in Speed between the 172 he went before, and now, he thinks he has went fast enough on the public roads.

                I-96 eastbound near Lansing, bounced off the rev limiter(13.5krpm) on a heavily modded FZR-1000,
                back about 1993, we think about 192, and I have witnesses, though the closest one(modded VFR1000)
                was back a ways.

                    165 mph on the 87N just north of Albany, NY. I did it at about 3 am with 3 lanes for error with no traffic. Very stupid, but very fun. ;D

                    I tried it again not too long after that and I got passed by a police interceptor camaro like I was standing still when I was going 145. That was not very fun.

                    He didn't bother pulling me over. He had established dominance.
                    200 mph or bust.......

                      About 130-140 mph on West Dodge Rd in Omaha between 90th and 108th. It's a 6 lane city street and I was racing a 72 Pantera GTS with a blown 351C. I lost badly.

                          Over 200 km/hr with my '67 Newport.
                          The car had 3.91 gears, 235/60/15 tires, and my engine tach said 6500rpm the entire way... ;)

                          It tossed the waterpump fanbelt right after I got off the throttle and coasted to an offramp though. Noticed the temps rise quickly so I shut it down just in time.
                          Popped the hood, and by a shear miracle I found the fanbelt tossed neatly and intact around the openair filter and carb ;D

                              135 mph in my SRT 10 early on a Saturday morning on I-20 between Vicksburg,MS. and Monroe,La. Never had opened her up since I bought it. 135 was in 5th and I had one more gear to go, then the wiser older me took over and slowed back down to 75.
