Do racetracks count?
September 1962. U.S. 30 Dragway in N.W. Indiana, C Fuel dragster 161 mph. March 1990, Phoenix International Raceway driving a Formula Continental, 163 mph entering turn #1.
The "guys" tell me the real sensation of speed comes at 200+ mph, I do not know the kph conversion.
I will never be to old for speed.

I was told my old Harley was capable of 150 but the Arizona Highway Patrol advised me against trying it on the freeway.

to convert... MPH X 1.609 for KPH
to convert... KPH X 0.6214 for MPH
241 KPH @ Road Atlanta on the downhill just before the bridge. The only thing that kept me from being sucked out of the car was the seatbelt.
80 KPH going downhill on a bicycle with 15 lbs of camping gear on the back.

I think the fastest i drove my Audi TT was just under 260KMPH.
That's about 160mph....over double the speed limit...for a short stretch to test the cars acceleration.
You can bet i did it on a very long quiet road with no traffic, no speed cameras and no police!!

128mph/205kph in a MK10 Jaguar on the M1
many years ago.
Only when I came off the M/way did I notice
half of the exhaust had fallen off.

epicure: in kms please
I dont know what it is in kms but I used to have a hiway patrol car. It was a dodge custom 1970. The speedometer went to 160 but the car would do 185. My son had an iroc-z that would do just over 200mph------ This thread is Archived ------

I hear you, HJ! I don't have any clue to this day what speed I was going, nobody's been able to figure it accurately, but I made a 25 minute drive to school in 4 minutes flat. My best friend and I made it to our classes on the bell that day. I had a 1963 Chrysler Newport, push-button automatic shift, 360 8-valve engine, the speedometer was buried the whole way there...and she complained that we'd been late too often. (Funny, she never did complain again if we were late. 
)I've never outgrown my need for speed...I just tell my teenage sons not to drive like their mother as I pass cars that are moving too slow for my taste on back roads when I'm in a hurry.
