Driving home from Brittany's house one night, the highway was dead and it is a strip that I know there are never any type of police. I got up to 115 before I had to turn to get off the highway. Loved every second of it

90mph in my 1996 Corsica. Same day I got my speeding ticket, thankfully I had already slowed down to 68 so it was only 13 over.

95mph in the Bonne

Both were on back country roads around my house and just for the fun of it

How fast have I gone or how fast have I DRIVEN? I consider "driving" longer then just hitting a number on the speedo. Gotta hold it for awhile for me to consider it driven....

Had the Z28 up to 125, drove it at just about 100.
Had the Monte up to 105, drove it at 90.

Had my 74 Monte to 120 which is also where the speedometer stops and had the 98 Monte to 110.

I had the needle in the Monte floating past 125-130 on a looooooong stretch of country road. It was exhilarating to say the least.

..Thanks everyone for your post & honesty....& you lived to post your story/speeds...

Hi Brian, great to read that you did not try to pass a police car
in the grass (center berm)....

I hope all member's check the safety of their cars (rides) before you attempt to hit higher speeds...
I just think if you are going to test your machine that you should search out a road that's clear & with no access roads
for others to pull `out.....(We can't control the wild animals, or
debris that may be on the roads that could cause a tire puncture 4-Sure...Be Smart/Safe...It's your life & whose with you...
Peace/Out
