148 on my '10 mustang gt, such a smooth ride it was a complete accident.
I was driving home from work, texting and eating a hamburger cuz I haven't ate anything off my 12 hour shift (automatic car, no worry's lol) it was 8 at night not many cars, I almost missed my exit cuz it came faster than I thought, looked down and I was just under the 150 mark. Put my phone in camera mode but by the time I snapped the picture I was at around 135, smashed the brakes and barely made my exit. Got home in just over 3 minutes off a drive that's usually around 10-15 depending on traffic lights

I'm actually dead serious, I have nothing to prove to you meaning I have no reason to lie lol
Have you drove a 2010 gt? If not than you obviously have no idea how smooth that ride is. I had that car for a little under a year

Right. When you noticed how fast you were going, you stopped texting and eating and went for your phone. At least you did not have to shift. Is there a coffin button anywhere on the dash?

I'm sure we hit at least 500mph in a Southwest 737 on our way to Florida this last May.

Only 130 so far in my 350Z -- not many safe places to go any faster around here.

But I did 192 (verified by laser, but the car was not in a "ARCA-legal " form at the time) in an ARCA car at Talladega Superspeedway. The car was one of Mark Martins old Winston Cup cars that we bought. One of my best friends drove in ARCA for 3 years and I worked in the shop and on the pit crew (front tire changer). From time to time I would get the chance to take her out for a run during testing at Talladega and Atlanta. I REALLY wanted to hit the 200 mark -- which was doable in that car with a few tweaks that weren't legal for ARCA competition --- but never did get the chance when conditions were right. After 3 seasons finances forced us to shutdown the team and all go get "real" jobs (except my buddy Randy, who now works for Stewart-Haas racing). Good times for sure -- probably the most fun I've ever had with my clothes on!!!!

112 in a Chevy Cobalt on my senior prom the years ago. Not exactly a speed car, and took a bit to get there. I just bought my Z last week and am looking for a time and place to add to that.

At what speed does it turn into a different ball game?

For instance, driving a boat, above 85 is a whole different feel and territory. It takes experience and time behind the wheel once you get over 85, as the pad is no longer in the water at all hardly.

At 155, I felt very in control in my Z. It's scary at 155 on a bike

Id say when one of your tires explodes it becomes a different ball game.

125 in my 99 Mercury Cougar
120 in my Z


I'm not comfortable going that fast really. Too many things could happen in a millisecond.
