I’ve been over 150 on surface streets many times in the early 50s street racing.

One time here I said I went 200 MPH.

I didn’t mean that it was a typO — I was 125 MPH (1968 Buick Wildcat). But I was stuck with my post (in retrospect I should have just said it was typo but I was young and stupid)

But I have to tell you, that speed scared the crap out of me.

But I did peg that sucker! Ah, Detroit iron V8s! 5 MPG and 4-barrel carbs!

I think it is possible in the right car to do 185, but not in metro LA, since there isn’t a straightaway with enough length to do so. The 10 EB on the other side of Mira Loma? yeah, maybe.

Got up to 125 in a 5.0 mustang GT convertible on a long straight patch of I-69 between Port Huron and Flint. Scared the crap outta me.

With me at the wheel / handlebars... Been a shade over 100 in a POS rental car in the New Mexico desert. Been around 115 on a bike on an interstate in West Virginia. Young, stupid, and lucky. I probably wasn’t a good enough driver/rider at those times to do that.
