Just a question for all to see the fastest you've ever gone.Must state speed, vehicle and year of vehicle. If you want you may also tell where. Videos are also welcome. Remember safety first, so dont go out speeding like a mad person.
My personal best:
Mph:120
vehicle: 2004 Mitsubishi eclipse
Where?: Interstate 78 towards Harrisburg

Will try 200+ soon - will post, maybe with video.

160 mph
05 Corvette Coupe
I-55, near Springfield, IL (Summer 2005)

150 mph (felt like 200 compared to C6 performance)
1985 Corvette Coupe
I-5, on way to San Diego (1986)

145+ mph

120 mph-late one night-hitchhiking with a buddy of mine picked up by two drunk marines-went blasting south down Rt1.

Proof there is a God that I'm still here.
