Fastest

[blaqsilvia]

Hmm... Not gonna say where I did this.. but me and my friends street race.. it was me, a VR6 and some Rx-7 driving together.. My car is a 95 auto and the speedometer stops at like 125. All I remember is that My lil needle was pointing way past 125 nearly down and I almost had it floored- overdrive and like 5500 rpm... when we pulled over after it all- my friend in the vr6 told me he hit 147 (his speedometer goes to 180)and i was right behind him <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> .. so I'm assuming I hit above 140mph or 145.. crazy-- at that speed I know one thing-- adrenaline puts you in a new high- and I'm not doing that again... ANYWAYS-- I'm just curious to know what the highest speed is that you've people taken your 240's up too... FOR REAL stories too- not some bullshit like-"oh yea- one day- I hit 160.." riite..

[Kreator]

Ummmm.... did you paint your body kit yet?

[sykikchimp]

I had my 90 auto to 130 before we I had to let off for a corner. &nbsp;I had 2 friends in the car too, so they were weighin' me down.

My 92's only been to about 115. &nbsp;I'm afraid to hit the speed limiter.

I thought 240 automatics only had 4 speeds?
But then again I dont own one so I might be wrong

Not to burst your bubble or anything but unless u were going downhill you where only doing around 130mph.
My own record was on a slight downhill slope which I hit 140 (my speedo goes to 150) and I had to back off the gas for a curve. How correct my speedo is at those speed who knows.

honestly, 120mph and ran out of road
took my from a light to about little over a quarter mile.
my buddy timed it with his watch and it took me a little over 13sec to 14sec. we actually used the second hand on his watch. man we are cheap <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/satisfied.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':satisfied:'>

Autos are 4 speeds just so you know.

I never took the car up to speed to evade the po po's. I just did some maneuvers to get away from the cops in residential areas or other places like that.

[whateverjames]

the fastest I've gone was the fastest my car would allow me to go, 115 then it will shut off. but i'm a sneaky bastard so i was driving at 114 as i was racing an expidition. a man on a 10 speed bike or a overweight SUV, I'll race ya!

[rotaryknight]

140 in my FD. &nbsp;I need to install my HKS SLD to get rid of the speed cut on the 240sx.

[BadMoJo]

110 in my 240 so far. I would like to test the limiter, but I am just afraid of the damn cops. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/whatsthat.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':whatthe:'> &nbsp;125 in my old stang.

wtf? &nbsp;wha kinda car is that, mine spedometer goes up to 110, and when i go off (115) i get cut off

[Black 97SE]

for me hmm.... When driving on the 5 freeway going south to san diego was where I hit my top speed. &nbsp;I was driving an 89 acura legend 2 door cpe. =). &nbsp;I hit 135 on a clear freeway hehe. &nbsp;With my 240, I've gone to the top that a 97 SE goes. &nbsp;Stupid governor. &nbsp;I miss my legend. &nbsp;It was so old that it didn't have a governor in it so I could easily hit 120 no problem.

[KyoLo]

I hit 120mph easily with any efforts with my 97 240SX SE, but it once the needle hits 120mph, the limiter kicks it back to 115mph, and there, can't go up more...damn it....but anyway i think i can go up to 130 or even higher if the limiter is taken off..

<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

157 - my '93 FD3S &nbsp;(surprisingly stable up until ~135)
128 - '96 Infiniti I30t &nbsp;(suspension felt confident)
125 - friends '00 Mustang V6 &nbsp; (very scary after 105, very floaty)
115 - friends '91 NA SW20 &nbsp;(rock solid, in part due to TEIN HA's)
107 - '98 Infiniti G20t &nbsp; (felt like the car was gonna blow up)
105 - my last POS car, a 97 Grand Am Coupe V6 (very floaty, probably coulda taken it faster if it wasnt governed)

<--- 1 @/v\ &nbsp;$t00pId!

I'll only due a top speed run super late/early on a smooth highway...yada yada yada...we all know it's bad, but we've all done it.

You gotta remember that there will always be discrepancies on everyone's speedo. &nbsp;Most speedometers are not calibrated for higher speeds. &nbsp; Wheel and tire size also have a role in it as well. &nbsp;Basically-- the faster you are going, the more innacurate the speedo will be (depending on the car) &nbsp;

With that in mind, in reality the fastest i have probably been was maybe ~150mph in the FD

I doubt that your 240 hit 147. &nbsp;Being an automatic, I dont think its gearing would permit it (10k rpm?). &nbsp;If someone has the #'s for what the gearing is in his car, theres a mathematical code u can use to determine which speed you should be at certain rpms. &nbsp;There's also coefficient of drag that has to be accounted for. &nbsp;damn it's late...i'm getting all mathematical

Did that VR6 happen to have rims and tires?

143 mph in my GS-R.

Well, I banged the speed limiter in my 240, so 118, and I got my old neon up to 210kph, so that is what, 128-130? that was enough for me... wide open dead straigh paved country road with nobody for miles. And for all of the prudes, I apologize in advance for the stupidity, however the only thing I could hurt was myself and the bugs that hit the windshield at that speed.

43mph and damn proud of it, thankyouverymuch!

Oh, that's without a car though. Yeah, that's just rolling down a side street on six-foot long piece of steel with skateboard trucks and wheels bolted to it. =)

Edit: Oh, you did actually specify "in your car". &nbsp;Hmm, well, nevermind then, I guess. &nbsp;My unmodified automatic '91 SE coupe - just like every other one here - would hit its limiter at 114mph, and was only able to make the digital display stop counting at the 125mph mark by going down a big hill. &nbsp;So, my top speeds aren't all that different from anyone else's.

But the street luge, yeah, that I'll step up and be proud of. &nbsp;=)

Thats ironic, cause Mirage's only have 120hp

in a 95 gsr- 150mph

Boy! Never be scared in a supra! &nbsp;The fastest Ive gone is about...maybe 40 mph? &nbsp;Ive gotten to about 110 in my dads skylark passenger seat. &nbsp;No cash...No car

Overdrive is when instead of changing gears in the 3~4k rpm, it holds it until 4.5~5.5k rpm.

Thats a pretty decent speed for your friends VR6.. its atleast has a chip in it.. cause the speed limiter is set at 132..

i've gone over 160 (speedometer only goes up that high, but when it's been buried for a while, i assumed we were going a bit faster) in my friend's 300zx as we were racing a girl (yes, it was shocking) in a formula firebird. we passed a car that was two lanes over and we were next to a concrete wall on a bridge. the red taillights of whatever car that was looked like a red streak as we passed. he hit the brakes, we said "wow what a rush, lets never do that again, ok?" "ok. never again". scary shit. we were able to go over 160 because he has a reprogrammed ECU. although we said we'd never hit 160+ again, a year later he let me drive his car and i took it up to 'only 120' for a few seconds but his clutch started slipping and it wouldn't go any faster.
