What is your top speed?
I guess I will help kick off this new forum.
The fastest I have went was in 1969 Camaro. I wound 5th gear up to around 5,800rpm and wound up around 145mph then I just dropped it into 6th gear and started hitting the brakes.
I did somewhere around 140MPH in the 1996 Formula but it took forever to get there.
1973 Cutlass 140mph
1972 Cutlass 130mph
I have heard some of you do a lot faster so lets hear it. Kyle and Stacy Tucker have hit over 210 in the Twister but I dont think they post on this site.

12-14-2004 #2EDIT: my previous post content no longer necessary. Big thanks to admins/mods for moving this thread to the Outhouse. It started to get out of hand.
Guys, please follow the forum rules. It is clearly stated that street-racing related stuff is not tolerated in Racing section!! I don't know how some people can be so proud of breaking traffic laws and endangering yourself and others, let alone bragging illegal stupid behaviors on a public forum. It may impress teenage kids, but it sure doesn't impress those who are into the sports of performance driving.
PLEASE don't turn the Racing section into one of those stupid "kill story" section. I hear enough of that crap from local bench racers.Last edited by Salt Racer; 01-19-2005 at 09:59 AM. Reason: Thread has been moved from Racing section to Outhouse
The first step of becoming a better driver is to attend a track event, time yourself, and realize the fact you really suck.

We won't discuss where, as it was a sanctioned event and I was only a course worker (event insurance purposes) but I had my 93 Trans Am up to, drumroll please...

Mine is about 90mph, give or take :D. A 307 with mechanical points that give out at 4800rpms...combined with 3.42 gears...and you don't go very fast
However, I did 140 in my '02 Z28 with ease, and there was still PLENTY of headroom left.

Hey Camaroboy
It's funny cause I've gone 140 in a 72 Cutlass also, but it was kinda scary, you can see the cutlass in my pics.
Also did 165 on my old bike (not sure how accurate the speedometer is at that speed though)
140 in my 99 SS still had more in it (I love the LS1)
My 69 was only able to get to 120 (ran out of gear)
All where done on a closed road.1969 RS Camaro
1985 Buick GN
2005 F-250
