There was a reason it was deleted before, and it will get killed for the same reason(s) again....

[TexRef]

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

[seeker41]

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

[Free the USA]

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!

[Gracey]

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.

[constable tom]

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.

[habs4ever]

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.

[lowbridge]

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

[AAABEST]

I fixed up an old '69 Camaro with a bored out 327. I had it over 125 on a crappy old back road in Georgia. That car was soooooooo sweet.

I was kinda pissed though because I pulled my oil pan afterwards and found big metal shavings coming from somewhere. The engine wasn't quite the same after that until I rebuilt it AGAIN.

[dixiechick2000]

149.02 mph at the Richard Petty Expeience of a Lifetime.

I was in a class of 12 (10 men, 2 women...3 of the men were Pro off road racers). I was the Valedictorian of my class! Heheheh...even beat my husband! ;o)

[Tony in Hawaii]

130 in a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T on the Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway in Kona, Hawaii with my mom in the car.

[LaineyDee]

When I was 16 yrs old, a date borrowed his brother's Jag to impress me. He got up to 130 mph on a newly opened freeway before I freaked and made him slow down. (I didn't know cars could go that fast!) I thought he was a nut with a death-wish and refused to go out with him again. *chuckle*

[airedale]

135 or 140 in a Saab 900 Turbo with a few extra goodies. That's about 5,500 to 5,700 RPM in 5th gear on a flat desert road in cool weather (the intercooler works better when it's cool). My speedometer was accurate within 3% to 100 MPH (I had it checked up to that speed so it probably remained consistant for the full range. The spedo said 140 so the real top speed is just a guess but a pretty good one.

It wasn't as fast as my neighbors Saab 900 but then again I didn't have all the speed parts he did.

[this_ol_patriot]

You won't believe this but it was under 80.
Yeah, I'm the guy that only goes 5 mph over the speed limit and that everybody passes.

[Geronimo]

I have to go to traffic court twice next week...Dec. 4th and 6th to argue down two speeding tickets...45 in a 30 zone and 53 in a 30 zone.

I once rolled a joint on the back of a motorcycle doing over 115mph..

[RLK]

Misspent youth when there were no speed limits. 64 Olds, 335 hp. Three speed transmission, 125 mph+ to valve float. With a four spped they'd do 145-150.

[Arthalion]

Remember kids, speed kills!

Now that that's out of my system: I hit 155MPH heading into Livermore CA on the 580 once (at about 3AM), with about 5 miles of downhill grade to assist me. Unfortunatly for me, I forgot about the gradual left hand curve at the bottom of the hill...which wasn't so gradual at 155 :-) I entered the turn at 155, slid across 5 lanes of traffic, and came out of the curve in the outside emergency lane. Had I been doing 160, I'd have kissed the eucalyptus trees on the side of the highway.
