The "How Fast Did You Drive Today" Thread

Wheel balance?  Warped rotors?  Parkinson's?

104+ (according to gps) in the El Camino with all of my possessions in the bed weighing it down.

Try doing this in a 1991 Buick Park Avenue!

I don't think I'll be driving at all today.  Snow and ice.  Ice is much, much worse than snow.

Hit 75mph driving through 8in of powder.  Giant snow cloud behind me. 

Also recorded my fastest drift today.  Entry speed was about 47mph.

Got Sandy up to 90mph in a 70zone this weekend. Just testing. Felt great at that speed.

I got my 92 Caravan up to 110mph+ on the Autobahn (speedo didn't go any higher), this thing feels way more stable, too bad no Autobahn around here.

A while back I had a new (2012) Sienna cruising at 100 mph on a twisty-ish highway. You'd never think they'd be so good at that.

Good job, man.

It was on one of the few straight stretches of a twisty ribbon of blacktop through the BC mountains.  I was showing an orange Cobalt SS Supercharged who is boss.  The Cobalt was being driven by my mom.  LOL

Autobahn?

Nope, on a supermarket parking lot.

In the beast last Saturday....

Nice. Are your BMWs limited to 155 mph?

[MexicoCityM3]

Nice. Are your BMWs limited to 155 mph?

Yes. However, all the speedos are conservative by 6-8% or so. So I've seen 270 kph indicated in the M5 without hitting the limiter.

You're losing your reputation.

I can't believe we let this thread fall by the wayside.

Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to do much fast driving in a while.  I haven't driven any real distance since my trip to Boston in March.  Even for medium length drives, there's a lot of traffic.  I drove to my nephew's house yesterday, about 35 miles, and I barely broke 70 mph with the traffic.  Much of the time I was below that.

Maybe I need a trip out west.  I'd love to drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.  Or in Arizona.  Or maybe Wyoming.

[68_427]

Damn.  I'll have to do 100mph today then

[BimmerM3]

I was driving on some long, straight, two-lane roads this past weekend, and had some fun passing people when the dashed yellow lines were around. The highest I actually saw was 94, but it's possible that I went slightly faster when I was more concerned with the road ahead of me.

[cawimmer430]

A maximum of 130 km/h yesterday. It was rainy and I was on a stretch of speed-limited Autobahn. Boo. 

[68_427]

Did it yesterday

[dazzleman]

Did it yesterday

What road were you on?
