I suppose the fastest car I ever drove was the 68 (or was it 69?) corvette with 427 and three two barrels.

Fastest car I ever rode in was a Viper, which got up to 165 on a local 4 lane stretch of road which had about a mile between cross roads.....we got up to that and backed right down....really did not feel like anything at all.

Fastest I have driven is about 125.....in a 64 bonneville, in a 59 Ferrari, and in a Chrysler thingie (the full sized front drive car which preceded the rear drive 300).

I think my 84 280e would go about 130 but never tried topping it out.
