172 mph is my NSX and I could still go even faster..but traffic slowed me down. The car felt very stable at such high speed.

Motorcycles,cars what's the differance

176 mph during Daytona200 qualifying on my
Suzuki GSXR750 race bike. It's all fun and games till you try to follow Russell into the chicane...

170 mph down a lonely two lane road in Northern Michigan on my Honda CBR900RR

162 mph somewhere in my Moded 84 SVO Mustang

120 mph in the S2000...another two lane adventure in the country

1959 Fiat 600D. 17 hp, 78 mph with foot flat on the floor for several minutes to reach such blinding velocity. I was one proud 16-year old!

147 in a Ferrari Testarossa with twin turbos and nitrous on the service road next to a busy highway in Dallas at lunch.
155 in a 911 turbo early one Sunday morning on a Highway south of Ft. Worth.
140+?? in a 69 Cobra 428 SCJ I don't really know how fast I was going because the speedo only went to 140 and it was coming around again and I felt the front wheels were no longer touching the ground. Keep in mine that the speedo on American cars is not that accurate either.

I had a '96 Integra GS-R that hit 138 at the top of a slight uphill. Still had pedal and revs left, but had to lift as I came over the crest since there was traffic ahead. The Camaro (not Z28) lifted at about 120-125.

Mine has Akimoto intake, GReddy exhaust, Bilstein springs, Tokico shocks, 16" 5Zigen wheels.
