E9X M3 270kph (168mph) with a 3.45 FD. 217kph (136mph) before T1 at Sepang Circuit.

[Donatello.]

I buried the 160 MPH speedo in my old tuned 335xi so who knows how fast I actually got that thing up to.

176 MPH in the Hellcat.

Not on public roads.

I still want one. I test drove one when new, but went with my 1st Mazdaspeed6 instead. No regrets on the MS6 as I bought a 2nd after getting rid of the 1st. Sadly, it seems like all the used ones for sale are beat to death or lol overpriced.

Seems like it's the same with the STi. It would make the perfect winter DD IMO.

I miss the hell out of mine. Just 36K on the clock when I sold it, but it had to be done for this...

All the motorcycle guys in this thread are probably laughing.

Was able to hit 166 on the long straight at Road Atlanta in the Vette but a few too many times doing that I ran off after I cooked the brakes.

I think what's more impressive is my mid-weekly 100 mph cruises across Texas and still being ticket free for nearly 10 years.

Takes less balls on a bike because it happens so fast. Yes, the sense of speed is greater on a bike, I've been over 160 there as well, but it happened so fast I didn't even have time to get worried about it.

For sure.

Not too fast by comparison. In my 2004 ZHP 115 mph on a back country road in Texas. Didn’t maintain it too very long.

[CTPJ]

218 mph trap speed on the front straight at Daytona back in the day (picture below).

[Autobacs]

178 at a half-mile roll race event 8 years ago on my previous 900 WHP setup

• e92 M3 ~165mph
• C8 Z06 180mph

[ShapeShifter]

Hit the low 130's in my 1988 Conquest TSi. As mentioned, had mid 70's bike well into triple digits and back in the blink of an eye.

[JPRacing715]

Well in a car the fastest was around 140 but on my racebike I did 192 on the back straight at COTA according to GPS.

Yeah we had a Ducati Superleggera do 198 at COTA at one of our track days, I thought I was fast on the BMW doing 192 but the Ducati Guy said he didn’t have the balls to brake any deeper but he thinks he could of hit 200.

[bousquettucker]

225ish to date

Not really fast, I don't know if I've ever driven over 150. I know I've driven over 140 more than a few times. It's funny to see how people would react when I had the BMW 428 GC, they always said things like "I'd get pulled over constantly in that thing". I don't understand where that logic comes from at all. It was definitely capable of getting up into these speeds, but slowly and probably maxing out somewhere 140+, not a whole lot faster due to the power. I guess they just mean cruising well beyond the posted speed limit...which you can do in any car, don't need a BMW for that.

I got my 2004 WRX up past 140, a few times if I remember. It was supposed to be limited at there or 139 or something, but I had a few mods done to it and it kept going. I'm sure it wouldn't have gone much faster on that 2.0 engine without seriously more modes, but it definitely showed me that you need the brakes to support that if you are going to be hitting those speeds, which they didn't, pretty much instant fade.


Racing Autox, the fastest I've gotten is around 90-100, we have one that involves an oval, lot and a strip, with portions on each.

I sometimes see people on certain sites complaining about speed limiters in the 130-150mph range...but man, you don't even get up to those speeds on lots of tracks and you need a lot pavement in front to get to those speeds.
