Mine was a 72 Duster 340 (not my pic)

[Redfish225]

My grandmother’s Chevy II, I was 14.

[Mark1T]

In the 1980s, a 1977 Corvette @ 115mph in college.

[PhDPepper1111]

72 Toyota Corona. Can't see the graphic but I assume we're talking first cars. Bought mine with $325 of my hard earned cash and loved that baby. Took it everywhere until I rolled it 3 years later

1966 Porsche 911. First one delivered to Calif.

[bustasinclair]

1972 Mercury Montego.....it was a piece of shiit and looked much like this pic.

[startingat56]

As a passenger ... 1974 Pantera in 1974 .... near crapped my pants as for sure we were well over 140 mph in that rocket

As a driver/owner .... 1966 Mustang 2+2 fastback with a 1971 Boss 351 transplanted in 1981 ... highway gears and my buddy was OPP and clocked me at 147 mph

last weekend in my 1969 Swinger 340 with 3.23 gears topped 110 mph then backed down. It still pulled hard @ 110 mph

While my '69 340 has higher compression, your '72 340 had a bigger carb. that is what the 340 really needed .... a big carb

the 340 was the most underrated engine of all time .... it was called the Giant Killer

[Tommy W.]

Fastest was in my 911 Twin Turbo at 172. Car felt amazing at that speed.

[steffo99]

Only had a car for a few years and think the fastest I got was 90 mph, so not sure if will ever truly join this club. I'm a law abiding citizen and try to be a role model to those around.


Ford Sierra speed monster - think I remember that it was shaking a bit at 90, lol.

[MajorTendonitis]

Oldsmobile , maybe a 75 , not sure . It had a 455 and had high compression pistons installed .
Can’t get over how those cars could pull you back in the seat with all that torque .
We were going 137 mph up a hill

[Bando]

Old Roadrunner, in the backseat, we were 15 or 16, driver was a grownup 19-20 year old lol.

[Corbi]

1969 Old 98 with the 455, bought it from my moms uncle for $200 and it was spotless. Was a 10 year old car at the time and he had babied it. Mine was an ugly shade of green.

[Milo1974]

In my mid/late 20s, I might have gone up to 90 or maybe even 95, but that definitely would have been by mistake. With a speed limit of 70, sometimes I would go between 75 and 80, but with a couple of instances of true bad luck on the road when I was younger (accidents not my fault, and that really shook me up), I rarely break the speed limit now. This would have been in my 2000 Honda Civic. I generally try to avoid the Interstate because I just don't want to drive that fast - it freaks me out. Middle-aged and pathetic, I know.

I was driving home from Orlando a few nights ago on a Highway and I was going substantially under the speed limit - like maybe 52 or 53 in a 60 zone, and this one big car comes up behind me and practically tailgates me for miles although they had plenty of opportunity to pass me. I didn't freaking budge. I probably pis*ed them off. I hope I pis*ed them off.

[mtpockets]

interesting to see all the different vehicles people are mentioning, if we asked this question 40 years from now most of the answers would probably be Honda Civics.

[waldopepper]

Hit 100 in a ‘72 Nova. Paid $800 for it in 10th grade. It was a death trap and could barely do it. My current diesel truck is barely working and smooth as butter at 100 (but it’s capped at 110).

[IronCharles]

When I was about 14 or 15 me and my buddy used to take turns joyriding in our parents' cars after they went to sleep. His folks had a '74 Gran Torino, and my folks had a '72 LTD. So it was one of those two cars. As far as owned cars go, my first was a '64 Nova with the six cylinder.... I don't think that car was capable of 100mph. But my second car was a big block '64 Dodge Polara, and it would hit 100 within seconds. My third car was a '66 Mercury Park Lane wagon with a 390. That car I drove 26 miles on the freeway with the speedo pegged at 120.

[x-trainer ben]

95 VW gti vr6 with my modifications on 95north right as you leave MD, Bel Air and hit the PA line.

I was itching to test it and did 120 before i was scared chtless and backed off.

130 on my 600 gixxer - circa 2011~
110 on my stryker circa 2014~
140 in an 2.0 audi a4 6 speed with a chip, couple times between '13 and now, felt like she could go moar

Was always sad that they only put 5 speeds on the stryker, bitch coulda hit 170 with the right gearing and a sixth speed. 1400 engine, all torque, no top end.

[PrisonWallet]

- Hit about 92 mph in a '72 slant six Dodge Dart before I got scared.

- 220 km/h (about 136 mph) in a brand new late 90's Audi A8. Was delivering it from one dealership to another, right before the customer took possession. Stunk like burning plastic after. Sorry, guy.

- Clocked at 116 mph in a '94 Firebird. Got a speeding ticket in the States.

- 140 mph in a mid 2000's Chrysler. Any guesses on what model?

It was a rusted '75 Pontiac Gran Prix. I'm sure it was beautiful when it was new.
