The speedo ends at 120 (and redline is right there, too) so I don't know for certain.
But! Driving a lifted truck at 130 mph is kind of like going down a huge ski hill on cross-country skis. It may not be that fast relative to everyone around you.. But from your perspective, that is flat effin moving. Front end feels real light at those speeds.
Fastest I've gone in a car was a 69 pro-street mustang. He figured about 170 (I was in the passanger seat). Felt like it to me.
Well, I'm not gonna bother using my current vehicle for this.
Fastest I've been was in a 72 Nova SS with a blown 383 stroker, and that was en estimated 165. I've been in plenty of powerful cars, including a 99 Ferrari 355F1, 2007 Corvette Z06, and a 96 Porsche 911 C2, but the roads around here are too damn curvy for speed.
Fastest was probably Z06 and that was topping it out at 185
The most fun was '70 240Z with a modified turbo L28 and that hit 158MPH on the GPS...feels like 300MPH in a 1900lbs car sitting 1 inch from the ground!
Civette racing a Z06 to around 180.....spraying it all the way lol....it actually seemed to slow down at that speed if you quit spraying...185 shot.....car is a brick in the wind lol

I thought the zo6 went faster than that... I thought it was a 200MPH car?

I was at about 210 when I developed a slight vibration, then it got worse and my CD player started to skip. As I was trying to eject the CD I noticed the needle edge past 220. About that time I looked out my drivers side window and saw Danica Patrick, then on my passenger side I noticed Helio Castroneves. I said to myself damn I must have pulled on to the track by mistake and I'm going to be in serious trouble. Just in the nick of time, I pulled off of the track ,barely missing Jim Nabors.

Yeah, if you see the replay, it's around lap 120. I will never forget the look on Paul Tracy's face when the T/A passed him.
I forgot to add that my wife was complaining about how fast I was driving, and the kids were screaming about being hungry. We were looking for a White Castle at the time.
In the Lumina 135 mph and in the camaro a tick over 160 then the hood left the car and i guess acorrding to my friend behind me it sailed like a kite across the interstate but funny thing is after he stopped and went back for it we took it to his house where we installed hood pins and used gorilla glue to put the fiberglass hood skin back on the superstructure and it is holding fine.
EEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! I finally got to go to a porsche club meet at the track!!!! SOOOOOO COOL!!
This fella here took me out on the track, and we were up to about 270kph, and we were going around corners at 5 g's, and one time we went around a corner, and he did a little bit of a spin, and we mowed the grass on the side of the track a little,but we didn't slow any past 100 kph even as we were mowing the grass, and he didn't even kick me out when I was asking him tons of questions, and I almost got to go around a couple of times in an exige, and the cars sounded wicked awesome, and the guys in the Wild Rose Porsche Club are the coolest group of guys, and I get to go out for their next meet in July, and it's gonna be an all day event, and I can't wait!!!!!!
EEEEEEEEE!!!!! SO MUCH FUN AND I WANNA DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!!! Check out the Lotus I almost got to ride in!!!!
Fritz is awesome, and I am so happy that they let me come out and pester them!!!
....so I guess that is the fastest I have been in a car
you think u havent......but you dont realize how much aerodynamics factor in.....you mustang is also a brick....lol....
and you know what is supposed to be one of the worst ones........soltice!!!! lol
My speedo is broken but my best guestimate would be 140ish. I haven't even come close to topping it out.
As far as gearing goes. I have stock 2.73:1 gears and a .67:1 final drive ratio. The gearing is extremely low (numerically) which allows me to hit 60mph in first gear, over 100 in second, 140+ in third (never topped third out) and the rest for fourth gear. One of my future mods will be 3.73 gears which should help my acceleration and still allow me to retain decent top end.

I just joined the 200mph club, anyone on here a member?
yes, but not in my car. It was in the 2008 pump gas drag winners thunderbird.....what a rush!

This was the fastest I've ever gone in a car. The 160 speedo was burried at one point so I don't know what the actual speed was.
(Most of you "old timers" have seen this already)
Only 136mph in my old '73 Challenger :-(
I got my mom's Mercedez GL 450 up to 140 easy and my truck to 130, boy was that shaky
