The top I've done is about 120mph, majorly assisted by a lovely steep incline of the M20, near Maidstone.
If I could be guaranteed not to have traffic on the roads, there are some lovely parts of the A21 between Sevenoaks and Hastings that I would love to sprint along.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

The fastest I've gone in a car is only about 120 because that's where my car tops out.
I did it when I was driving up old highway 395 on the east side of the Sierra Nevada mountains not far from Death Valley. In the right time of year you are the only car for miles and miles plus the place is so flat you'd see anyone coming.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

My top speed was on I-15 coming back to Las Vegas from Mesquite. It was in a company vehicle. I haven't had the balls to get my dodge ram up that high. That one may go up to 120 mph. The ford ranger I was in tops out at around 100 mph, I could feel the governor kicking in.Comment

Could have gone a lot faster, but was afraid of the cops.
That's in a 13 year-old camry.

170 km/hour in a Ford Capri 1600 GT - had to slow down, a cement truck didn't realize how fast I was going and entered my road from a sideroad, and you don't discuss with such a thing

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

The cost of fuel is a big one too...at that kind of speed they absolutely drink petrol although if I could get up to Hull all the way at that speed it would take me barely over 1 1/2 hours...Originally posted by Dauphin

The other time I topped out my car was coing home from a camping Trip with friends near Pisgah Crater in the Mojave desert. It was fun we crawled around inside the lava tubes, hiked out on the old lava flows plus we used card board to "sand sled" down some really big sand dunes. Any way on the way back the main highway was closed due to snow and no traffic was let through. Passes to the east and west were losed but we were in a low area right in the middle (where there was no snow).
Any way a park ranger told us about an old stretch of Route 66 which lead out of the desert which the Highway patrol hadn't closed. So we took Route 66 and were the only car on it sine the other freeways were closed. Since there was no snow and I figured the cops were busy else where I floored until we got back to civilization.

242 kmh
(~150mph)
While testdriving my Fathers new Car, there are several Security Automatics though, which help to handle the Car at such a Speed.
Having an experienced Driver next to you does too
HUD is also a really nice Feature
The Second spent looking at the Tacho(Speedometer) equal 67 meters driven.
My own Car only manages 189 kmh (117mph), but at this Wheater Condition + Winter Tires I take my Time.
Those who envy the Autobahn should be aware that of course Jams and Construction Sites are to be reckoned with and should remember: the Survivours of HighSpeed Autobahn Crashes are scare
Somehow this reminds me:
Is it true that in the USA the Cars dont have to be checked at regular Time intervalls by certified agencys?Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!Comment
