204mph on a stock 2000 Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R motorcycle.
You can get one for about $6,000.
The speedo was off by a few percent, so I recorded GPS data onto a PDA, to log the actual speed and distance more accurately.

Boy do I feel like a wimp! I don't even think I have ever broken 90 MPH...of course I've never broken my neck either!

I was involved in a couple high speed pursuit in Florida and reached speeds that were over 140 in my 2002 crown vic. Patrol car. (((140 is all the speedometer would register.)))

140 mph on Interstate 35 south of Oklahoma City. Brand new 1966 Dodge Charger. Lord I miss that car.
by C.A.Y. is rather confused about it all on April 24th, 2007
around 150mph, in a 1995 BMW M3 with a 98 3.2L motor. Shortly before we realized that the road ended in a lake. Have I mentioned that BMW brakes are very very effective. we stopped about 20 feet short of the edge. I would not advise it.

106 mph :) It was a little scary.
by anonymous on January 14th, 2007
115 MPH,...then for some reason, my car wouldn't accelerate any more. It started accelerating again when I got back down around 60 MPH.
I'm not reckless, my little brother cut his finger off, and I was on the highway trying to get him to the hospital. He was really scared and kept telling me to go faster.

165 give or take 3-4 mph....in a red 1966 Ferrarri on the Le Mans straightaway in France. Not during the race, just in the summer with a French wealthy friend who owned the car. Not another soul on the road during that 3-4 minute or so ride.
I was abit shaky when we stopped finally. I think he was also.
by warriorsoul on December 24th, 2006
146 mph, in a corvette.
by zazzy_one on December 24th, 2006
About 89. I own a P.T. Cruiser and it pulls to 82-84. You're up there before you know it.
by zx9fire on October 8th, 2007
169mph on a 2002 suzuki gsxr 1000, and the comment about the speedos being wrong at high speeds is right, the bikes speedo was showing over 175, but i was using my buddies pocket gps, and it records top speed. Thats the reason a lot of guys claim 200 mph bikes and then they take them to a land speed racing sanctioned event and go home pissed off!

142mph on a cbr900. that was as fast as i needed to go, they said it would do 170.
by anonymous on May 1st, 2007
230 MPH on the autobahn.....
by Shabba on April 29th, 2007
In a car: 230kph (about 140mph) in a Series 4 Mazda RX-7, on a deserted open road somewhere that will remain nameless. Man that RX-7 was nice to drive. Didn't feel like I was going that fast - sensation was more like 140kph (90mph)
On a mountain bike: 100kph, late at night down the side of a mountain (in my young and incredibly stupid days). It was a straight road with quite a nice downhill gradient. The posted speed limit was 60... So here's this idiot on a mountain bike, head down and bum up, overtaking cars down the side of the mountain...
by aleayce27 on April 15th, 2007
90 it was awesome America needs a highway like tHe german autoban there is no speed limit
by Mushen on March 25th, 2007
100 mph beofre I bottled it.
by Firebrand on February 13th, 2007
Much much too fast. i will not say how fast just well over the speed limit. I have a heavy foot.
by starnite on February 3rd, 2007
80 mph when I passed but I went right down to 70 mph after that. I like driving the speed limit.
by gunner52 on January 26th, 2007
188mph in a nissan skyline and have the court summons and a lenghly ban to prove it grown out of that stage now and drive a 3 series bmw which could easily do 150 + to nervous incase i get caught again and most of the time kids and wife are with me

Mach .87 in a Jet
by Nom de guerre on January 4th, 2007
90-ish, and it freaked me out so much it only lasted a few seconds.
by 8 Jan 2004-10 Dec 2009 on December 31st, 2006
I've never broken 90 because our roads aren't really set up for high speeds. No long, straight, level stretches of road here.
However, I don't slow down much in the corners, so I can hold my own against 'faster' cars.
by Jenniferocious on December 29th, 2006
119 mph in an 1994 Toyota 4-Runner... not smart, but I was 17 years old... and it was fun. I just put the pedal to the floor to freak out my friend, then, before I really noticed how fast I was going, the car made me slow down. But, my friend was sufficiently scared, so I had accomplished my task.
by Bollocks on December 29th, 2006
120 mph on the slab, then I ran out of petrol. Rang up the motorway service and they sent a police car. The cops took me for some petrol doing 110mph. I said to one of them, "Jeez, that was fast." The driver said. "You get use to it."
by Simply msFortunate on December 29th, 2006
Somewhere between 95-100 in my 92 Camry. It felt amazing; for a 14 year old mid-size sedan, that thing absolutely tears up the road. I think I got my 93 Buick Century up to 90 on a commute to work one morning. That was probably not the best thing for that car...I totally could have blown the engine out...
by glamorgirli on December 28th, 2006
95mph and I really shouldn't have, because I was driving my old piece of shit car and it probably could have fallen apart.
by anonymous on December 24th, 2006
Only about 70mph on the motorway. I've only ever had an old VW Polo and even at that speed she sounded like she was going to fall apart. I just used to avoid going on the motorway if I could.
by Moparman3507 on December 30th, 2007
My friend clocked me at 145 MPH in my 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4. That pretty good for a truck huh?
by odd ball on October 16th, 2007
135 on my kawasaki zx7 on a deserted country rd, only takes a few seconds to get there and back to 70 again. Fun.
120 is my car top speed in 98 mustang 4.6L
by devil is back on September 4th, 2007
240 km/h or 150 mph in Germany on the public Autobahn where there is no speed limit, it was fun!
by juiced1300 on July 25th, 2007
I drive a Suzuki Hayabusa with several thousands of dollars invested in its motor/brakes/suspension etc, I've done 185(ish)MPH on the highway =)for a solid 15 minutes and crossed all of chicagoland lol........no serious!
by Starmaster on May 14th, 2007
I was driving from Baltimore to Norfolk, VA on I64. I looked at speedometer...and I was doing 85! I wasn't aware of it, it was too peaceful. I felt like I was the only one driving there...I was lucky the Highway Patrol wasn't nearby...
by cellar-door_26 on April 1st, 2007
10mph. *shouts* Stop looking at me like that! I'm learning how to drive!
by P. W. Pasobrio loves Marines on March 25th, 2007
A hundred and ten and then I looked down and took my foot off the gas. Fast. I had no idea I was crusing that fast.
by Johnny Cache on March 25th, 2007
I went 80-something down in Florida a couple of times, and I still got passed. The official speed limit was 70, btw.
by firecracr on February 13th, 2007
2001..IN ITALY `120 WAS THE NORM MY BOYFRIEND OF THE TIME DROVE plus they all drive within 3 feet of each others bumpers...Needless to say I was to freaked out to drive so I remained the passenger. But the night I flew in back to usa I got in my car (it was 2am) and I drove 120 down the empty streets...a mile later I said oh my God I am going to go to jail for this speed. So I slowed down. It was exilerating but a little freaky.

Very Very illegally...129mph...the high patrol caught us...*Shame*!!!
by Anonymous on January 14th, 2007
155 mph. not violating the law.
Enforcing it.
Trans Am was going 124 mph.
by Jim100 on January 4th, 2007
201 in an Audi on the Autobon in Germany.
This is a road with no speed limit (until you approach a city where there are digitally lighted signs with speed limits that can change as the traffic warrants(and you can get a ticket from a camera if you do not heed-except rentals.)
I started thinking, wow that AUSFART is such a long road, as there were so many exits for it, but then I realized ausfart meant exit. hee hee! See how stupid I am, I went 201! I started calling it the adrenelin bon becuase if you went like 55 people would come up so fast in your rear view mirror, like they were going to hit you, and there would be a truck in front of you going 55 mph. I was glad to get off of there.
by HappyJeans on December 31st, 2006
75 mph
Downhill
With the wind behind me

140 Kph, in an old Gemini, I was took much of a sook to drive any faster (even though on a highway)!.
by tmahn642 on December 28th, 2006
I hit 140 mph several times in my 1990 Ford SHO, no sweat, had room for more at the throttle, but for safety I let off, I'm not confident of the aerodynamics of the car. It really was fun eating camaros and trans ams with this 4 door business class car. (well, I did have a few goodies under the hood and a chip in the ecm. Hehe
by LostBoy on December 25th, 2006
128 in my '96 Chevy 1/2-ton (hit the top speed limiter/governer)
by l3randizzle on December 24th, 2006

by Anonymous on December 24th, 2006
113, fastest my "governer" would let me i go faster but it is not safe.....
Engine has had slipping sensation lately. Today it jerked, slipped, & check engine light came on. Then it died. Did restart. Thoughts?

You're reading What is the fastest you have ever driven on a normal road (i.e. not a dedicated racing track)? Just curious, *not* advocating speeding.

Outside of Date Land AZ. my Suzuki X6 Street Hustler clocked A Buck & a Half when the cop gave up. On the way back the cop stopped our group and told me that if he had caught me it would have been a ticket & straight to jail. But he didn't, having run out of "Radio Contact" he broke it off. I had "Laid Out" with feet hanging over the "Plate" so he didn't get that either! Back then their cars (or my Bike) couldn't do too much more than that though. John
