My first high speed experience was with my friends Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 on German Autobahn. Topped out at 155mph. That was in 1974 when I was 21. It was fast then and now almost any Volkswagen can go that fast.

Top Speed
1994-100 mph in a 1988 Eagle Premier (first car) on US 57 into US 55 between Chicago and Jackson, Mississippi. Going back to college (Jackson State University), at the end of Spring Break. The trip is 747 miles long. Takes most people between 12-14hrs. We did it in 9hrs. Left Chicago around 9pm and pulled up on campus around 6am, just as the sun was coming up. Probably would have been quicker, but I switched over to one of my passengers (to get some rest) a little bit south of Memphis and he drove no faster than 87 mph for about an hour before I took the wheel back!
2003-110 to115mph in my 2000 Ford Taurus on US 94 around Calumet City, IL at about 2am. Was trying to get it to 120, but the limiter or gas shut off kicks in around 115. Got caught by a IL State Trooper who said he clocked me at 100mph in the 55mph zone. Ticket cost me $700 (it was my first offense), $500 for the lawyer and $200 for court. 2003 to present-110mph in my '99 ML430. I feel it can go faster, but I'm kind of scared since this is a truck. By the way, does anybody know how to give this more power other than a K&N Air Filter and a better exhaust? Does anybody know anything about the BMW 850i's? Are they as fast as they look? I am interested in buying one. Last edited by 74Stylez; 05-25-2007 at 03:37 PM. |

I know a fellow who raced the Silver State Classic for several years with his 850i...until he crashed at about 140mph He is OK but his girlfriend/co-pilot won't race again!

Since I've had the SEC I've only gone to 100mph. Of course, it's damned hard to find anywhere in the DC area that you can really go fast, safely.

The days of late summer night, high-speed cruising are pretty much gone here in Ontario. New legislation - a 'street racing' bill - has been passed so if you are caught going 50 km/h over the limit you get: - instant seizure of your car by the police (no trial, no defense) and car is impounded for 7 days. All your cost. - fine of $2000-10,000! - license suspended for 7 days So, if you want to open the car up, you better find a track!

top speed is what hooked me on Benzes
I had an 89 300E in the first half of 2005. Over 214,000 miles on a car I had bought (at 209,000) for basic transportation. Got into a top speed brawl (not race, brawl) with a '02 to '04 GS Lexus. Had my dog in the back seat. That wonderful car gave me 136MPH that day-------exactly the same as what a new 300E gave Car and Driver in 1986. The best the GS jockey could do was get his window even with my dog's window. I wish I could have seen his face, but I was too busy. I fell in Love with that car that day. A bond forged in battle. Benzer I is now at over 230,000 miles and has been joined by Benzer II (88 300E) and Benzer III (93 400E) I love those cars like I love my dog (that's a serious kind of love!). An old high mile 12 valve 4spd auto 3.0 I6 spanking a new low mile 24 valve 5spd auto 3.0 I6! Priceless!

The fastest I have ridden is in a Viper driven by a client. 165 in a short distance on a suburban four lane not limited access. He speeded up and back down between two cross roads about a mile or so apart. It felt like nothing at all. Stable as all get out.
The fastest I have driven that I can think of is 129 in a Chrysler concord I helped my favorite machinist test drive. He was thinking of buying it. He didn't. Tom W
