I was wondering how high up the speed ladder everyone has taken their vehicle.

I just got back from Kelowna and on the Coquhallia (sp?) I had it up to 230 KM or 143 MPH for a short blast and it was still climbing before my G/F started getting freaked.

 

I had mine up to 149 mph before I got freaked. But as far as I read we don't have a speed limiter.

 

Nope. No limiter.

I was revving at 5000 or so when I shut it down....at least I think it was cause it was a quick glance at the dash.

 

You are supposed to either blindfold or drug her before attempting speed records. I remember driving over the Coquihallia with the ex years ago in a turboed lazer and the speedo allowed either mph or kmh. I was driving on mph and a 240z came up wanting to play. The ex said go for it and for about 1\2 an hour I drove at 115-120 mph (the z gave up after about 105-115mph for 5 min) until the wife realized how fast we were really going. That was a fun drive.

 

I got up to 130 one night but it was 12 and the idea of me hitting a deer at 150 came across my mind, it would have been different if it were daylight.

 

It wasn't planned. A V-6 Honda Accord went by and the passanger gave me a wave bye....so I said to her a lesson must follow. His hood looked shiny in my rearview mirror.

 

well on saturday night, i was heading out to the local street races to just watch when a redline stopped and asked if i wanted to run on the freeway! at first i said no but when he reved and dropped the clutch in front of me and my girl we juamped in and chased him down on the freeway i was going 130 when i flew by him and kept the pedal down till i hit 155! then the g/f said i can't even see him anymore so i slowed down! just to let you know this was out on 1 way higway with no one around b/c it was like 230am!

 

i had the old 2.4SS up to 135.... i haven't tried anything too fast with the ss/sc yet.. i wanna hit 160

 

apparently im not too daring cause ive only gotten my ss/sc up to 110. and that was on the way to florida. hmm... maybe its time for another trip.

 

I got my 2.2 to ~130 before

 

guestimating 165 because I pinned my needle at 6900 rpm and kept goin to 7400 racing a vette, beat him too lol... by the way we are limited to 158 mph, but hp tuners took care of that.. 200mph now, never gonna hit it, but its nice to know.

 

I had the g5 up to 190kms going up the Alex Fraser at 4ooam9 no traffic) When I had my ol Vmax I had it up to 230,thats it dont like to go fast for long(to many varietables)

 

Wow, I don't think I've had mine much over 80mph as of yet. I must be getting old.

 

I've only done 160km/h....

 

235 only once.......just cause I could.......and I absolutely wasted that Civic.

 

ive had mine up to 140 racing a tiberon going to work at 4am once, he quit after 105 or so but i wanted to push it and got kinda worried about cops so left off, it coulda stilll went some more sooo....ill see another day...

 

146 on 16 dead road coming home from the track one night.

 

My husband drove my car without me to Houston last week. I over heard him bragging last night to one of his friends that he got the car up to 145mph and it still had more to give. I was pissed, I do not drive his truck like an idiot when he is not around. He could of hurt himself or someone else. I still have not found out the details of exactly where he was when he did this.

 

Uh oh /\/\!

 

I have had mine to 150 on the nose...I ran out of straight road and had to shut down so i could slow up for the bend...I still took the turn at or so...very long sweeping bend with good angle to it

 

Is it me or do Canadians tend to drive faster.

 

Perhaps. It could be that all the threads I've read about cops in the states is that a high percentage of them are very nasty in regards to speeding. I passed 3 cops the other day on the way to Calgary (other side of the highway) and they don't even blink at 15 over. Even 20 over is overlooked on most occasions. Hell travel the #2 to Edmonton, 25-35 over is "keeping" with the flow of traffic.

 

When I go to washington sometimes I have to remind myself to slow down.

 

I hit just over 150 acouple of days ago, then saw traffic up ahead and slowed down to about 80. An Acura RSX-S (B.C. plates) came onto the freeway and was taunting me, but I already had my fun and traffic was getting worse (I don't like swerving around other vehicles looking like an ass). It only took him about 2 or 3 miles to get nabbed by a Washington State Trooper. Thanks for paying revenue to help pave our roads down here, we need the cash!

 

The SS SC's don't have limiters, they are drag limited.
