I started my speed addicition with a 99 Polaris 700xc. 115 acrossed a frozen lake baby, what a rush especially for only being 12 when I did it.

Come on it a vette forum and I'm the only one that has gone over 100, and i drive a 4x4 pickup

Damn good question, mine was a old Nova that had more rust on it than you could imagine! I had no floor boards! Rusted out! It took forever to get over but she did it, that car was barely safe to do 55 let alone 100mph. Things you do when you are young!

First time over 100? Anything goes here? Hmmm I would have to say in a Cessna 172 getting my pilots license way back ago!

Now if you only talking about cars I would say a 1974 Fiat X19!

Over 100? LOL it was the biggest piece of #@$#! A 1976 Caddy! LOL that car was so big! It would hall *** and would suck down the gas. This was a good post, remember some of the dumb things I did with that car!

LOL My first trip over 100 was in my first car. A 1972 Olds Cutlass "S" with a *very* worn out suspension. That thing would flooooaaaattttt sooo bad over 100. :willy_nilly: Buried the speedo a few times as well. I'm actually (still) surprised I didn't kill myself in it :thud: for all the stupid things I did with it/in it.

LOL I'll jump on this one, first time over 100 was in a 1981 Nasty Orange Ford Mustang 4 cylinder LX. Whats funny is that I had a Fiat that had a similar bolt pattern on a set of chrome rims that I wanted on the Mustang... so I drilled the holes out on the rims so that it would fit on the Mustang, when you get over 50 you could feel a horrible vibration, buy the time you hit 85-100+ the car is vibrating so bad!

1970 Camaro all souped up, i wasn't the owner of the car, but I got to drive it!

I dont remember the year but it was my moms C3 vette and i took her up to 120 my mom was scream faster faster but we were runing out of road lol

1993 ZX-7 Ninja! Hit nearly 150 that day!

Well i was 15 and bought a 65 Chevy impala. Its has 308's and a 2 spd powerglide. The first trip on the highway was 120mph. At that age i thought i had 8000hp and a 4 sec 1/4 mile car:lol: .Plus i remember shaking after that trip. I still have that car to and race it at my local track. I'm thinking about selling it and building a vette to race. So i'm keeping my eyes open for a cheap C3 or C4 to build.

Hey Doug how are you? I will be contacting you in the next couple weeks as I have just done a few things to the Vette that requires a little bit of tunning!! I also have to get with Al about his Vacuum set up. Now to the post question, I first went over 100 in a 1978 Chevy Nova with a striaght 6 in it. This was quite hairy with the fact that the rear shocks were rusted all the way through the trunk so I took wire and wired the shocks together so that they wouldn't fall out of the holes and get jammed between the tires!:rofl:

Greg.

My Big Wheel with a 200 shot of NOS when I was 6! :smack: First time over 100 was seriously in a 1984 Camaro. That car was so cool back in the day!

Embarrased to say it was a friends mothers big *** station wagon. Hell I have no idea what that thing was? The speedo only went up to 85 but that thing was buried. It also took nearly 50 miles of highway to get it up to that speed I might add also! :rofl:

First time over 100 was on a old Honda motorcycle

1979 Chevy Monte-Carlo!

Geess we are really dating one here, I'm going to say if I remember correctly it was a old Buick my high school friend had built up and drove out to California for military. I had came out to California to visit and we ended racing up the coast with some of military friends to another bar (we where young and dumb) and that Buick screemed by everyone and we estimated easy over 120 MPH that day.

Well hell, now you have me searching around for the old photo books, recalling old times! :smack:

115 mph at Texas World Speedway on a 125cc shifter kart, full bodywork in 1994.
Later that year I went back in a 250 and did almost 130.

My first time passing the 100mph mark was in my first car a '64 Impala SS 327 power pack 300horse...God I miss that car. First time on a motorcycle was on a 87 Honda Hurricane 600...Scared the crap out of me...

My first car when I was 15....1969 Dodge Charger! Towing the boat! Oh, those were the days....Dad let me drive...:)

The earliest I can remember is my dads 1967 elcamino in 1989.

At 16, My Moms '77 Z28.:)

Suzuki 750 took me into triple digits.

First post on this list, so I am still learning, but, don't you mean, 200 mph; and it was my modified C5 with a clutch that couldn't hold the power? If I could ask a question, what 295 ZR's are the best bite? I would like to break 0-60 in under 3.3, but can't hook up very well in 1st and 2nd?

My '76 Olds Cutlass. It had a stock 350, but it would fly!

Seen here my dad's 68' Impala..which I went and found 20yrs..later and brought her back to new beast status and gave to him as a gift.
105mph on the LIE at 17yrs of age.:willy_nilly:

Buried the needle in a 1961 Chev Impala, of course that is when I was young and stupid. :lol:

First time was my fathers pontiac 389ci at 16 years old, same day I got my lisence, got stoped. Cop let me go cauz he was in war with my farther. I was in a 25 mph zone. Then my Datzun 240z (130mph)

My buddy had a late 70 station wagon that we ran all the time in high school. Would take you past 100 mark if you had a long road. We carried gallons of oil everywhere we went. Smoked like hell and we were drinking like hell. Somebody upstairs had to be watching over US back then. Ronnie was in a car wreck his Jr year .Thought he would never walk again. Looking back I think it woke us both up.

77 trans am in 79

Buddy of mine let me behind the wheel of his 79 trans am back in high school. We got on the interstate at about 2:00am and hit 120mph and got a ticket by state trooper. Got in a shitload of trouble with parents, but when Mom wasn't around, dad wanted to know if we had fun and how fast we were going. The things we do when we are young and stupid. Now I'm older and stupid.:burnout:

ZX-9, 168 mph deserted road in Cali

2004 Aprilia RSV1000 Factory

My folks 1977 3/4 ton Dodge pick up........with a set of choir risers in the back! When I was a senior in high school:smack: Side by side with a buddy of mine in his Ford PU.:eek:

1997 TransAm (140) an then 170 on a 2005 cbr 1000rr

Fathers '68 Mustang when I was 19

1958 Chevy DelRay 2dr---I installed a modded "348"---didn't handle great---But it would bury the speedo needle past 120---hit the speedo stop and the needle would start bouncing back and forth!!

Do you have a Vette yet? Just wondering.:cheers:

No not yet, I can already tell it won't be stock for long when I finally get one two more years and I can start looking. I will be done with school then.

1966 Corvair Corsa, at about 110 the front end seemed to want to rise and oscillate, of course being young and dumb and scared shi*less didn't have anything to do with it. It had a 140 mph speedometer, but it ran out of oomph about 118 or so. This was the model with a 6 cylinder and 4 single barrel holleys.

Dusty

WOW, there are some cars in this thread that I wouldn't drive 10mph!!

863The first time I went over 100mph, I was in my boyfriend's '81 Z28. This car was gorgeous!!! We were driving on Alligator Alley in the Florida Everglades and he dared me to punch it, so of course, I did. I kept the pedal to the floor well after the speedo had been buried!! God I loved that car. Good Times....Good Times
