160 km/h (100 mph) in my Hyundai Accent. Tried to go faster but the traffic was too bad. I'll max it out next time though.

Just over 180 km/h in a Plymouth Voyager Sport, if I remember the model correctly. That's one damned fast van.

I think around 113 in my 1990 Toyota Corolla. The speedometer maxes out at 110, so I'm not sure. I got my friend's Camry to about 120 before the limiter switched on.

About ~130mph in my '00 Chevy Monte Carlo, but governor wouldn't let me go faster. Now I know why they put those things in, hehe

<< 119 - Honda Odyssey...a fricken minivan...YES!!
113 - 3 different Olds Cutlass Supremes, including a converitble
115 - Pontiac Bonneville
117 - Buick Regal GS, downhill...got to spend a night in the slammer for that one
111 - Buick Century, just before the motor blew
>>



if thats the old version minivan (before they made it big and gave it the accord engine, then that is HIGHLY DOUBTABLE.

i have the same car....the damn thing Struggles to 80. 90 downhill wasnt too hard...but 119....not gonna happen. i dont have my licence yet so i didnt wanna push it, or id never get my licence ever, but my dad said he got to low 100s....but that thang is slow
>>



um, it was the old ones that had the accord engine, not the other way around. the first ones were just jacked up accords.

143mph - 2001 Honda F4i. I would have gone faster but I started to get head shakes.

130mph - 2001 Acura TL-S. This was on the I-15 coming back from Vegas.

121mph - 1996 Infiniti I30. Was driving to Magic Mountain.

over 130 - 88 Honda Accord
124 - 98 Saturn SC2, engine is governed with a fuel cutoff at 120 but it's a little wierd so if I played with the gas pedal I could get up to 124.
Those days are over for me. I doubt I'll ever do over 90 again. Not to mention 40+ over the speed limit in New York is instant loss of license.

135mph+ in a 98 toyota avalon

I was cruising down I5 CA on my way home from school at around 90mph(not really to fast) and I notice a pack of cars quickly gaining on me. 1 mustang, 1 beater car, 1 lexus sports car and 1 bmw. So safty in numbers I think, and I hit the ECT power button on the dash and floor it. I begin to pace them the best I can, the Mustang (think it was a 00 GT edition) was in the lead followed closly by lexus. I notice space between the lexus and the beater car (I think a Chevy of some sort, god knows how it kept up) and I inch in between feeling nice and safe, with a fast car in front and in back I just ride with the pack.

We weaved in and out of traffic the lead car making initial moves and if enough room was left the rest of the cars followed. We were going at 120+ for a good hour constantly changing positions vieing for the middle spots but taking our turns as the lead car, nobody ever wanting to be last.

one last move I remeber pretty well (when I hit 135) was when the BMW was in lead postition getting ready to pass an suv via the slow lane. I look ahead to study the traffic to see if there would be room to follow, we were in the fast lane my car in second postion the bmw merging into the slow lane to pass the suv ahead of us. a big rig in the slow lane minding his own business (or messing with us, I was pretty sure the truck drivers were telling each other about a fast pack moving down I5) So the BMW makes a fast break in slow lane swooping in front of the SUV and accelerating hard giving me some room to try as well. So I merge right and just then the SUV decides to change lanes also. I quickly slow and the pack zooms ahead of me. I hit the gear box into 2nd drive and acclerate the best I can (Avalons are suprisingly fast, Camery engines with 6 more HP but only 30 pounds more wieght). I climb a hill and see the pack in the valley below, I floor it.

When I reached the bottom I noticed my engine stalling I guess I hit the governer, the MPH gauge reading a little over 135mph. I got back into the pack but my exit quickly came. Sufficed to say that was the most fun I've had down I5. Extremly dangerous and stupid......but damnit it was fun, and I made a trip that usually takes me 4 hours in a little over 3.
