I've hit about 115 in my '06 and 140 in my 90 notch when I was younger, before wife and kid.

 

147mph (GPS) on Rice Road going to the river... only to be passed by a 996 Turbo that made me look like I was standing still

But at that speed the hood was very close to flying off.

 

Let's just say my top speed "slightly" exceeded this pic . I did it in my stock '03 Cobra when I was playing with a Porsche on I-8 in Arizona. Notice it takes around five pounds of boost just to sustain this speed.

 

07 Mustnag GT (manual) 95mph. Pleny of throttle left and it was smooth as silk.

 

Not sure how fast I was going, but the speedometer was buried!

Also, its very scary to take a picture while driving at that speed.

 

125 about 3 or 4 times.........................also ran out of road. I am going to go find a long lonely patch of road somewhere at 2:00 in the morning and find out exactly where it tops out at.

 

105 on the Florida Turnpike. Wanted to go faster but I was afraid a trooper might show up *L*

 

Yeah ditto. I-10 where it opens up between Houston and Katy.

About 130 while looking at an F430 Spider in my rear view mirror on the 610 east loop in Houston a couple weeks ago on an early Sunday morning. Yeah, I have been begging for a ticket, but when I get it, it will be my first in the last 21 years of driving.

 

...and dangerous !

 

I love the 110...whereabouts in So Cal are you?

 

80mph!

Edit: almost 90, speedometer only goes up to 85!

 

It hit the top speed limiter just short of 150 mph on a slight downhill grade with the hood doing a nasty death dance. Just think.....a C6 Z06 still has 2 more gears left at this speed and a 200mph top speed and no stupid hood shake!! My wife had her 2006 V6 Pony convertible just over 120 mph.
The fastest I ever drove was my old 1969 Mach 1 428 CJ 4 speed. My old neighbor(back in 1988)was a cop and one night we went out to the highway so he could radar my top speed(the speedo only went to 120mph and I could peg it on the trip reset pin) he hit me at 156mph!!! Man if only I had a modern 5 or 6 speed in that beast.....
Last year we took a road trip to the mountains and for almost 20 minutes I was running between 125-145mph. A trip between 2 of the towns on our route that usually takes about 35-40 minutes was done in less than 20 minutes. After that I lost my nerve and only drove 10 mph over the posted limit the rest of the way.

 

I hit 145, in and out of it real fast. That joker eats up some serious real estate quickly!

 

ive only done about 90, had the car 1 week so far..

not much road to play with around omaha!!!!

 

that's not all it eats up........ fuel!!! You can almost see the gas gauge going down.

 

better still, just think the Veyron will get to 150 in under 10 seconds and to 250mph in less then a minute.

 

About a month after I got mine the wife is with me comming home about 10:00 PM. We came to the long straight stretch of country road leading to our house and she says "Go fast". I was doing about 40 at the time and had the pedal mashed almost before the words got out of her mouth. She let out a whoo-hoo, like she was on a roller coaster or something. When she said OK, that's fast enough Iwas doing 120. After 25 years of marriage, I've learned that when she says enough, that's enough, LOL. Hood was as still as a church mouse by the way.

 

120 mph

Hey Carl, do you do everything your wife tells you to? j/k!


When she said OK, that's fast enough I was doing 120.

My wife doesn't say, "That's fast enough." My wife says, "You're scaring me."


After 25 years of marriage, I've learned that when she says enough, that's enough, LOL.

Congratulations on 25 years! I'm working on 23 myself.
