    145 testing a Datsun 280z

    But in another instance I was taking a turn in a subdivision at 60mph and I hit a school bus, the bus hit another car and the car hit another car. My head went down on impact and the bumper of the bus came across on top of my head. In other words, I was supposed to be headless. But I think I’m here for a reason.

    Not my car but I did take my snowmobile to around 130. Going on a frozen lake, zero obstacles, flat terrain, likely chance of survival if I fall off.

    105 MPH, when I was a stupid teenager. I wouldn't do it again. I was lucky nothing happened, but it was on a country road and in a vehicle really not meant for that, and it could've been bad had something gone wrong.

    Probably the time my 73 year old grandfather on my dad's side got in a drag race with some 20-something year old kid in a skyline who thought he was hot shit passing everybody on the lane going about 90 mph, Papaw wasn't having it & went 120 for about 3 miles just barely staying in front of him so he couldn't pass just to be a dick.

    About 400 kph, in a Bentley we were delivering. It was in the back of a plane and I sat in the driver's seat while we were airborne.

    Honestly, it was a little over 90. At the time I was never late for work a single time in my life and I didn't want to start being late. That 2015 Nissan Versa Note held up surprisingly well. I miss that car. XD

    well over 135... The last I looked at the speedometer it was at 135 and climbing... and I was too busy driving to look later as there was a curve and oncoming traffic.

    Stupid thing to do in that car with normal tires in the 1970's (which could have easily blown).

    I now maintain high speed rated tires on my and my wife's car (and have done so for about 35 years) so I know that the tires will not give out by being driven faster than they are rated for. Just never been in a car that had as much power as that early 1970's muscle car, so that fast has not been achievable. But, I have been up to 120 in my current car.

    About 160 in Ferrari Tesatarossa that a friend and I rented for a weekend to impress a couple of babes back in the 70's. It was surreal.

    I think the fastest I've ever driven in a car was about 120 MPH. When I was 21 I had a boyfriend who had a muscle car, and insisted that I drive it on the freeway, but I don't remember what it was as far as make, and model goes.

    287kmh (178mph) in my modded E420 Mercedes. I know I can reach 300kmh with that car, but I didn't have the opportunity for a proper speed run last summer, so I haven't beaten my record.

    And my wife hates anything faster than 140kmh (87mph, Emmet Brown frowns at this)

    • I wonder if it would be possible to reach the supposed top-speed that the new Koenigsegg has, 530 km/h, on the Autobahn.

        In perfect conditions, on a closed stretch of the Autobahn - maybe? The SSC Tuatara broke the 500kmh mark, so anything is possible.

    155mph in a Trans Am of my buddies. Heart was pounding that day.

      I read your books. Infinitely better than the 50 Shades series
