I published this a while back, but it was deleted.

So....

What is the fastest you have ever drive? I had my little Honda over 100 mph near the PA-WV border.

I do not condone speeding, and I am sure FR does nor either.

Political Correctnes?

150MPH in a '98 Corvette... Hardy Toll Road in Houston (about 6am on a Saturday morning when no one was around)...

125 MPH in my sweet 1977 Trans Am on the interstate outside of Abilene.

145 MPH in a Lotus MK XI - on the Riverside Raceway, CA.

However, was driving a Jaguar on Interstate 10, 1974 timeframe and was pulled over by a helicopter going over 100 MPH. Had two kids, 6 & 9 in car with me. The egged me on so they could see the needle hit 100.

I had my RX-7 doing over 100 and got clocked by a WSP airplane. Beat the ticket because the airplane was clocking two other cars that I passed. The report from the plane had me doing 76 but my ticket read 86 because they didn't know how fast I was going, just faster than the cars they were timing. The discrepancy saved me. The only ticket I ever beat and the one I really deserved.

763.035 mph/Mach 1.020

I framed my speeding ticket: 126 mph. Highway patrol chased me for 12 miles. I didn't see him, never knew he was in pursuit! How could I? I was going to damn fast!

What a worthwhile post!...there are moderators who do that job...your post was wasted and annoying...

Anyway...on to the thread topic...I have gone 120mph in my ford ranger...then the dashboard started to shake.. ;)

Going over 100 in a Honda is moving. Those little wheels and tires have to spin pretty fast :-) Good question for us VROOMMMMM VROOMMMMMM lovers.

147 on my Honda V-45 Sabre (motorcycle) on I-5 in central California in 1983. Cop pulled me over outside Bakersfield but only wrote me up for doing 70 because I had severe hypothermia and was desparate to get back to my base before I froze to death. He rode, too, and was nice enough to let me warm up in the patrol car before I took off again (another 100 miles to go).

When I was young, my brother repossessed a hearse from a motorcycle gang (he was a very big guy, very brave and very foolish).

As we lived in a small rural state, our freeways had a lot of daylight between cars.

The hearses sold in rural states doubled as the ambulance for the typical small town of 1,000 or so people.

It was adventure to go out and see him "bury the needle" well beyond the maximum 120 mph shown on the speedometer.

I rode with him and once clocked him at 150 mph just using a watch with a secondhand and the mile posts (24 seconds between posts).

The Good Lord was watching out for us.

My big brother once got pulled over in the car doing only 80 mph. The ticket was costly, but he took some comfort by my reminding him of all the free ones he got.

If one of my kids ever did this, I would ground them until they were 21. Believe it or not, the thrills scared the crap out of me and I was a very conservative driver from the day I got my license.

I was driving my BMW 850 Ci on an Ontario highway late one night, doing 210 km/hr...ahhh, lovely feeling of power and control.And so quite too.

[Gracey]

TOO funny. What's a WSP??? Police ...Washington State Police? Interesting, when the helicopter stopped me, I didn't get a ticket for going over 100. That would not happen today. BTW I got stopped in Louisiana.

[lowbridge]

Hey, I aint talking my way into a retroactive speeding ticket. :-)

[spycatcher]

Tell us more about that one! I've gone 145 in my Porsche a few times but never been stopped over 100. Ticket was $500 for 95 MPH in MD
