Whats the fastest you've ever gone in your F-Bod?

[ws6drbob]

While racing a LS-1 T/A over a local 5 mile bridge here in Jax Fl my speedo was reading a few notches over 150.

[ShadowIroc87]

I don't know, because I'm not going to get a higher speedometer, because if you get pulled over for going 120 and you have a 85 speedometer, they can only charge you with going yep you guessed it 85, with that said, I know I've gone WELL over 120.

dang

150 in 95 camaroZ28. 155 in my 94 caprice 9C1 not many places here to open them up

I'd guess 130. I was racing a talon and had the gas pegged for quite some time. I let off then looked down about a second after I let off and i was a little over 120. It didn't feel like I was going that fast, the only indication that I was doing that was that I had it floored for quite a while and the speedo reading. I felt like I was in complete control the whole time. Although after I stepped out of the car after this thrill ride I didn't have much control over my legs.

I went 130 in my 1968 bonneville coming down a mountain road here . Well, I have a 120 mph speedometer in it and I had the speedo buried with the needle quite a bit past 120. Im not sure how accurate it was but I was flying.

130 in my firebird feels ALOT safer than 130 in a 2+ ton boat with mushy suspension and tires rated for 95mph.

I got a clip of me with the speedo buried on the local part of the xpress way cuz i live right by the end and its 2 miles of straightness. doin 150 on v rated tires isnt too smart tho

Z-rated on my TA

[FireFinder20]

Let's see, 125 in my 86 305 auto 'ROC (downhill with a stiff wind), 162 one way and 165 the other on a lonely stretch of unnamed highway in my lightly modified 93 Formula 6spd (radar gunned by a friend) and 150 so far in my 95 T/A

I have 275/40 Yr17 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's and they are by far the best tire i have ever owned (Only tire that has given me traction in the rain in my WS-6). There is no way i would hit speeds past 120 on anything but z-rated.

[zwrangler]

I hat to ask since i know i might get flamed for this but..... what are z rated tires?? I know the 4th gens come with z rated tires. When I go to buy tires, is there a difference that makes them z rated or otherwise??? Thanks.

Was toolin down Alligator Alley at about a buck thirty in my Shelby Daytona when all of a sudden something went WHOOOOOSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH by me like I wasn't even moving.

Didn't see it coming or going. Scared the heck out of me. About 5 miles later there was a ZR1 on the side of the road and a guy takin a leak. About 5 minutes later he blew by me again. Those things are fast!

The '79 was an interesting story. In Eagle County between the Glenwood Canyon and Vail, I was opening it up one sunny afternoon. I wasn't racing nor was I trying to impress anybody. Every time I saw a car, I slowed to the posted speed limit and passed, and then hit the gas when the car(s) were safely behind me. The T/A spedo is 100mph which was buried, and I had it up to the redline so however fast that is in 4th gear. After awhile, I ran into some heavy traffic so I slowed to the posted speed limit ...after a few minutes, a deputy in a unmarked Bonneville SSEI comes up behind me and flashes the lights. The cop comes to my window with a big grin and asks me for the info. asks me if I knew why I was being stopped..."I smiled politely and confessed that I was going way to fast...probably should have left my baby in storage", apparently, the Sheriff's office was tracking me for awhile. She comes back to my window as I was preparing for a trip to the Sheriff's office, and hands me my info. ..."says, please keep the speeds down in Eagle County...you know these speeds are a jailing offense as she smiles at me." ..."yes officer...I will!" I got off because I slowed whenever I saw any kind of traffic. That was an interesting experience.

The '97 T/A was a little more fun. My buddy and I left Fort Collins, CO at 10:30pm and arrived in Vegas at 7:00am. Wow...what a fun trip...how we didn't get stopped at those speeds is beyond me. We did hit some highway outside of Vegas that was straight with a downward slope with great visibility. I hit 142,3,4 for several minutes before I backed off and cruised at 110 or so. I didn't trust the 30k Goodyear GS-Cs to handle any more speed then that.

I had my '97 WS6 floored for several miles on a flat road. But never got over 140.

Hmmm.... that sounds vaguely familiar. Was it by any chance a 95 dark Polo Green ZR-1? I'm not saying anything, just that it sounds familiar. Besides, coffee goes right through ya.

135 in my 98 mustang gt...(worst feeling ive ever had was that cars handleing at that speed..)

165 on my cbr600rr....about 11k in 4th gear

That cop story brought back memories. I was going to a car show in my modded 94z and the guy ahead of me kept going off the road and slinging rocks and dust on me so I said screw that. I just floored ole girl and blew past the dude going like 120+
Just at that time I saw a cop sitting on the side of the road. He pulled out and I just pulled over before he was even close to me. I thought I was going to jail. I was only 21, and didn't even have my wallet on me. The guy comes up and asks me where the fire is? I told him the story and he was checking out my car. Asked me what I had done to it, and if I planned on slinging some juice in it. He told me to keep the beast under control and took off. No ticket at all. Gosh that was a lucky day.

take it easy

ps are verts scary at 150 plus? I sold the hard top and bought a 94zvert. My hard top felt sweet at 150+, smooth as glass.
