Fastest you've ever been in your TL or other car
 

Whats the fastest, you've been in your TL? or other car? I took my TL(non type S) to 98mph the other day(feels very stable, and able to go an extra 40mph!!), with only 2kmiles on it :D I did 107mph in my 2000 cavalier Z24, on a trip down south! Its a funny story actually, I drove with my mom as the passenger, and the car was LOADED with luggage! When we got to tennesse and hit those hills and valleys, I looked at the speed and it read 107! The only reason It happened was because I was going down hill at 80mph steady, and I guess gravity did the rest, because I didn't give it more gass, and the thing Was hitting the fuel cut-off!

The fastest I've gone in my ('01) TL is 110mph and she wasn't even breaking a sweat. She was steady and planted.

With other cars:

125mph in my '93 Vigor. I was driving on a lonely stretch of highway between Chicago and Champaign, IL. I was basically the only car on the road and figured I'd see how fast I could go. I previously hit 110mph a few times. It was summer and I had the A/C on. I got up to 120 and she was running out of breath. Flipped off the A/C and got it up to 125mph before I chickened out and let up. Didn't want to get caught for "felony" speeding. I don't think it had much more in her since I think the Vigors were electronically limited to 130. The car was steady though without a hint of vibrations.

125mph in my wife's previous ('93) MX-6 LS V6. That car was fun to drive and was pretty quick in it's day. She felt like she could have pulled up to it's 145 mph governor with no problems. I did it on my way up to Wisconsin (I-94). The car felt like it was glued to the road. In hindsight it was pretty foolish since that strectch of road always has cops.

Hit the limiter on '90 Blazer at 110. The POS was shaking like crazy!

I buried the speedometer in my old '78 Impala several times, but I don't know how fast I was really going since the speedo only registered up to 85mph. That was more of an experience with the typical floaty ride and numb steering of those '70s boats.

Don't do that too much anymore. A family tends to make you realize you're not invincible.

142 in my TL-P..and 160 in mod 300ZX Twin Turbo.

I reached 147mph in my 99TL and i ONCE reached 185mph on a bike. man it was scary:wow:. id never do that again!:nono:



@cUr@-TL :cool:

120 in my tl, is the fastest I've been. fastest I've ever been was in my 1991 corvet convertable. I hit 190 in it.

the speedo tipped 130 and i just let go of the gas at that point, had 2 other guys in car with me, stock everything, even tires

99 TL = 147 mph (racing a volvo s60).:D

Let's see...

2002 TL-S --> 115mph
1993 300ZX 2+2 --> 150mph (my old car, now dad's car)
1993 Miata --> 120mph (my car before the Z)
1969 Chevelle --> 100mph (scariest thing possible!)
1993 Pathfinder --> 110 mph (my mother's...very stable surprisingly)

wow all this talk about top speed makes me think of the mc laren F1! I mean dam, What it must feel like to go 240mph in a car that can handle it! I mean the car should be able to screach the tires at 150mph!:wow:

2000 TL - had it two weeks - 110mph. It is amazing how stable it feels at that speed and how quiet. Had my 99 GTP to 120, but it didn't feel as stable and was not nearly as quiet. 94 Dodge Ram 4x2 reg cab short box - 100mph - not much fun.

Had my turbocharged '97 GS-R up to 150 racing a Ninja and the TL-S up to 130 racing my friend's RSX Type S.

I'm 2 for 2 :)

110mph in my TL-S, but thats only cuz its new...i'll hit 140 soon!
140mph in a 00 bmw 323i

*

120mph in my 1st gen CL...

130 in my 00 TL racing a civic:wow:

03 Acura TL - 0 mph , I haven't even test drove yet.
71 Pontiac GTO = 140, dealer mechanic was trying to blow the engine. He couldn't. Front end was so light....if we had hit a nat :wow: we would be dead now!

I did 220kph(speedometer reading) in my brother's 330Ci effortlessly, too bad it's governed :(

then I did about 150kph in my TL-S because it's only a week old, but I feel a lot more confident in the BMW, so hopefully this will change soon after I drop the car :p

130 mph I could of buried the odometer but I thought the cars stock michys were gonna explode. I think anything more than 110 in our cars is scary.

125mph for my TL on 4th with only two third of throttle

107 for my old buick regal...it cuts off at 107

what's the cutoff for both tl-p and tl-s?

i did 181 or 182kph and would've kept going but i ran out of road (we don't have many highways here in canada...i was driving along a rare small stretch of highway that connects the university to a major city street)

but i think i better wait till i get bigger tires 1st before i attempt it again altho i was surprised by the smooth ride with stock tires.

240km (149mph)

that's what ur speedometer ends

well u can't actually drive 240kph. u gotta chip that caps your speed. unless u override it. i'm just wondering what that cap is.

dee diddy:

you talking about the UBC highway eh?? :cool:

Did 143 MPH in my 1994 25th anniversary Mustang Cobra (Woodhaven Road for anyone from Philadelphia)

I can remember 127 MPH in my 99 TL-Navi

Somewhere around 70 in my 2003-TLS Navi (It is only 2.5 weeks old and no VTEC yet)

128 in my old '88 CRX Si (yellow) on the NE extension going up to Lehigh Univ

140+ in a friend's mom's 1976 Mercedes 4-Door Sedan (don't remember the model) when I was in High School. We were driving down Route 130 in Cinnaminson NJ.

In the TL-S I've been up to 120 on a open stretch of I-95.

The fastest I ever drove was 134 in my 1994 Firebird Fomula.

It was :eek: !

yeah man i had to start slowing down approaching 41st cuz damn cops like to hide in the bushes. i'll try it again heading TO ubc next time.

lol, the fastest i brought my TL to is....
140kph (87mph)

hehehe :D

110 on a TL-P


Have you guys seen the video this guy made in his Ferrari(?) where he clocked 320 mph (?). He made the video and sold it to several people including an undercover officer and got arrested. The video is constantly featured on Scariest Police Chases.

You must mean kph. The only cars I know of that go 320 mph are top fuel dragsters.

goes to show you...ya cant belive everything ya read

You must mean kph


That is why I had the (?) because I wasn't sure...and yes you are right, it was 320 Kmph...

Here is a discussion on that: http://groups.google.com/groups?th=d63f8cacd1a81c8f

watch out on the UBC highway now man, cops everywhere

best do it on highway 99 or something, safer too

in TO there's no problem for going up to 90mph on a the hwy...all the way...

sometimes i hit 105 when i am in hurry...

last time i was driving my buick from TO to london...1.5 hr drive...
i was at least 90-100 all the way and went 107 for a while

cops didn't bother at all..most cars were going at 90 at least...

after 4yrs i know where they all hide and at what times...i'm grad already...i remember the 1st and only time i got caught for speeding...driving my dad's huge sel500 and i was going at a pretty good speed...at 140kph an ummarked police car caught up to me in a flash and was flashing his lights thru his grill. man i shouldve caught his lights sitting in the back windshield while waiting at the light...$140 cdn for that ticket...so always look around for any unmarked police cruisers b4 u let err rip!

I'm such a wimp. The fastest I've ever gone was in my TL, was around 100 mph on a lonely stretch of interstate that's never seen a patrolman. I'm too scared to go much faster, I'll try it on a track to go faster.

dee diddy

I thought I knew where the damn cops are as well, since I've been here for 8 years, but no

I got caught speeding in my old Chrysler (I won't tell you the speed I was doing of course :p ), and I got a fat ticket that costed me $430 or something...
:mad:

heh must've been recent cuz the new speeding tix fine amounts weren't in effect when i got my ticket. dayam u were probably going as fast as i was! in a chrysler?!?

i took my type-s 140--- :D

I took my TL to 140, racing a Prelude on an empty freeway. I was ahead the whole time, but from 130-140 the Prelude went from his front bumper at my rear passenger door to his rear bumper at my front bumper! :mad:
