Hm....
137MPH heading North on I-5 in California just last year. 92' Honda Accord LX 4 Cyl. 5-Spd Manual, all stock. Had just bought it two weeks before. Still needs a paint job and minor body work.

One very dirty windshield when I hit Stockton.

Well, i would thing that if the spedometer was accurate after 85 it would of had to been about 132MPH in the Hillbilly Hotrod. That was done on a strech of 80/94 and was probbly the only time i have dirvin over 70 in a car. And a whopping 58 in the bus.

125-150ish, i couldn't turn my head to look after 125... In my brother's friend's modified Misubishi 3000X w/ a twin turbo, hydrolic spoilers (front and back), a bunch of other stuff too... it pulls in about 700hp, he had to pay a guy off to get a sticker :) it's capable of about 250 or something, i think it was up to 225 on the track. the car is worth about 100k.

about 115 in my bro's '97 Saab 900SE turbo when we were late for a hockey game :)

My mom's 2002 Audi A4 1.8 Turbo is speed locked at 120mph :( My friend's Audi S4 is speed locked at 150mph though :)

Were you going downhill with the wind in your back? :D A guy i work with has a 68 Bug he's done a lot of work to it. Turned it into a dune buggy looking thing. Its all street legal. He put in a motor out of a rabbit. Cammed it for 8000 rpm's and put a turbo on it. estimated at 220 hp... That is the fastest bug i have ever seen. He had to build a special bumper for the front that weighed 350lbs cause when he took off hard it would pull the front tires off of the ground.
