What's the fastest you've driven your diesel?

[willrev]

I like to get on the interstate at my house and drive up to the next exit. About a 10 mile trip. Usually no state troopers. I blew her pipes out good today at 4000RPM and speedometer pegged as far as she could go. I haven't been caught . . . yet.

She sure sounds good and rides well. I like to think I am on the autobahn. HA!

You had the speedo pegged at 120mph?

I only get my '84 300SD to do 105mph. Maybe a little more going downhill.

Are you driving on a flat road?

Maybe he has an 85 mph speedo? I've had mine around 105 before. Still had some juice left.

I've driven 150 mph by GPS, car was still accelerating very strongly.

Speedo has 230 km/h in it (143 mph).

They don't even bother arresting you here for that.....they shoot you on the spot....

Been a lot of years since i have gone 150mph......Was racing a porche 911 Carrara then....and beat him .on the highway..I was driving a Chevy Monza Spyder with an LT1 swapped into it.

My Benz cracked 100 once since i bought it....too afraid of getting busted to do it again.

I'm sure he has the same cursed 85 MPH speedo I have. I was at 4600 RPM last month and I ran out of highway before I could really see what she could do.

I've had some 10-20 mile stretches between Sac and LA on I-5 where I set the cruise at 105. Fastest I've been is 115mph. Smooth at all speeds...

[odie]

Yeah, max it out!!!!

I wind mine out all the time. Peg that 85

I have had mine up to 110, I was going for a top speed run but a *%&*)%*)&% Saturn got in the way. You would think that a MB coming up on you going 50+ mph faster with his high beams on would make you not want to cut in front of them.

Be carefull if their is only 1 car on the road with you assume they will do something stupid.

[willrev]

Yes, I have the dreaded 85MPH spedo. She was pegged hard and still cruising. Is this what they mean by "Italian Tuneup"???

[Alan Hamm]

65 MPH - That's the speed limit

Be careful, Hattie, you're making me nervous.

Always.

[Hatterasguy]

He was the only car on the road in the center lane. It was very early in the morning kind of dusky but the sun was getting pretty bright. I had my fog, head, and high beams on because I was going for a 120 run. But people are just stupid, I didn't come close to hitting him but I had to slow right down.

Don't worry I am a very safe driver, I'm the one my friends always want to ride with.

That's because you're driving a TANK!
