Fastest sustained, or unsustained speed on at least 2 tires?
Fastest sustained, or unsustained speed on at least 2 tires?
I know I had my TSX up to 110 on the NE extension of the PA Turnpike. Daytime and no one in sight, for about 30 seconds 
But the fastest I ever went was 130 mph, in a '72 Cutlass on a 2 lane blacktop, straight asan arrow, @ 6AM, in southern Wisconsin. Nothing but cornfields for miles and miles.

160+mph in my Stealth back in about 1997. On the highway, late at night, it was really not a good idea, we have too many potholes around here, but I was being a douche trying to impress a girl.

4 wheels ~220KPH (137MPH) on the A8 near Nice, France in a Renault Safere. Deserted road early in the morning
2 wheels ~135MPH at the end of I70 on a Honda Sabre V65, also deserted road
Both done a long time ago when I was more dumb and foolish

130 in my Ford Probe on I-85 heading to my girlfriend's house on Christmas day when I was an invincible 18. The interstate was deserted, save the small town cop who eventually caught up to me 
.
130 in my friend's parents Ford Taurus on I-95 three years later. We used their car to drive to and from Ft. Lauderdale to catch a cruise ship to the Bahamas for spring break. I drove the 3:00am-7:00am leg back. Missed getting tagged by a SC State Trooper by mere seconds.

A hair over 270 km/hr, or about 170 mph, in my 1992 Corvette ZR-1. It was still remarkably stable, and eerily quiet (except for the side windows trying to pull out of their frames. It may have had a little left, but not much. The car was basically stock expect for a couple bolt-ons.

Have it on DVD, classic John Frankenheimer, De Niro, and Reno. S8 driving fast in and around Nice, amazing driving and stunts. Too bad Katarina Witt had to get shot.Been to Nice twice on business (designed some chips in Sophia Antipolis), amazing place and beautiful people. Brings back alot of good memories.

140mph indicated in a 94 Prelude VTEC (speedo pinned), 04 Accord V6 and an 08 Accord V6. All of those at night, and both Accords while going over a bridge. Yes, I was very, very stupid.
Had an 08 Accord V6 6MT up to an indicated 130mph, but that was by accident
Ive never taken my CL past 110, and I dont have the desire to either.
