I got 96 miles/h last winter on 45 speed limit road at around 1:00 am. No cars on the road, but it was a windy night, so couldnt go faster. After I reduce speed, I saw a car quite far away from behind. A bit later, he was right behind me, and followed me like 2 miles after passed and went away. Luckily that cop didnt pull me over.

I think I've done 85mph. High speeds are reserved for my bike. I just cruise in the car.

Yea well some people are in Canada and don't know mph.

Just google Kilometers per hour to miles per hour and you just put the numbers in and you get the speed so you can understand. That is what I did.

The metric system makes sense which is why people use it. Besides, it sounds cooler if you say that you were doing 210 instead of 130.

My TL, only like 110 or so for a brief interval while passing a car. I've done 160 in previous cars and been 195(passenger) before.

All on closed courses of course.

Sorry, 132MPH, 4 sleeping people who had wanted to see what 200+ KPH was like, bald tires. They were all from Japan, so of course they'd use kilometers, and that's how I explained it to them, and that's how it stuck.

The metric system is SO much more accurate. It's also a matter of personal preference.
