120 in my Gran Torino going downhill on I79 in WV. At the bottom of the hill I looked in rear view mirror and there was a county mountie right on my bumper. He passed me and I followed him at 55. He got to a weigh station and flashed his roof lights as he pulled in. I decided to chance it and did not follow him in. He pulled out and got beside me. His partner flashed double 5s at me and I flashed back OK. He took off down the highway. I had a buddy that was a county deputy and asked him what the deal was. He said they are not suppose to be on the interstate.

185 in a Audi R10 on the Autobahn coming out of Frankfurt. Felt like we were doing 85, that car was amazing.
Reality. What a concept!

130's in a couple vehicles
110's on a motorcycle. That's entirely fast enough on two wheels
Two passes at 111 mph on water.

135 mph in a 1962 Corvette when the car was about one year old. It was on Highway 360 in the Trinity River bottoms Back then 360 was just a rural 2 lane highway with very light traffic. The car had more in it, but the front end felt as though it was about to flip the car. 1962 corvettes were not as aerodynamic as the newer models. Had to sell the car to pay for the birth of my first son. I still do not know that was a good trade off.

First thing I do when I buy a car is see what the too speed is. 79 Rx 7 has been the fastest, mid 120's. 2011 Prius C would only do 108. Everything else has been in-between those.

I think it was a 2016 Challenger 6.1L. 170-175. Kinda too uptight to look closely. Was an old friend's car. We used to build Mopars back in the 1970's. My bud died not long after that with esophageal cancer. He was a great guy ! 59 years old. Was a MOPAR freak !
