The Fastest You've Ever Driven?

[S14]

260kmh in an friend Subaru Impreza. the needle was touching the end of the speedometer at the north expressway at 5 am in the morning hehe. parang mamatay na kami hehe

[xXxander]

Hanggang 160 lang kinaya ng auto ko once sa skyway. Not much difference. Exhilarating cguro kung mga 200.

[MTBCommuter]

150 lang, never ventured way beyond that hehehe

[gwapogi]

mine 80 lang... miles per hour...

[canman]

gone about 250 kmh during a bike trip through USA on a CBR600F2. Just remembered there is a lot of wind and you have to duck your head under the fairing. A lot of wind noise and I learned when you travel at high speeds for a long time you need to wear ear plugs. After trip my ears were ringing for a day or two. The high speed was not that exciting as I thought.

I've tried 145 km/h...on an empty 10 wheeler cargo truck. Engine was not yet at redline.

 

Engine was a 21 liter displacement diesel V-engine, direct injection, 12 pistons, twin turbos. 7 forward gears, non-synchromesh. Three axles. Two passengers. Cagayan Valley road.

 

Change oil of that engine thing was 45 liters. Horsepower? Do you really have to know? Well, it can pull a 50,000 lb combined truck and cargo load up Kennon road, while ticking over at 2,500 rpm only. Thats about the weight of 20 common honda civics. With the yuppie driver inside, complete with his Nokia. Do the math.

 

Dry stopping distance, if some car decided to cross and you had to slam the airbrakes to max-max-max settings, is measured in hundreds of burned-rubber meters. Patay si car. Wet stopping distance...lets not talk about that. Talagang patay si car.

 

To all you guys trying to cut into a speeding bus or truck, boys, sa tutuo lang walang na akong control sa preno lagpas nang 120 km/h. Remember that the 2,500 pound cast iron engine blocks of these trucks are properly positioned to impact right into the windscreen of a 2,000 pound flimsy Jap car...tingin mo may gagawin ang airbag at ang seatbelt natin? Kay San Pedro na lang tayo mag-complain.

 

Sarap mag power trip. I was only twenty five years old then, 7 long years ago. Now, I have more patience. But I still occasionally drive one of our trucks in our trucking business, for old times sakes.

100 miles per hour sa France ... huuh muntik na akong sumemplang sa may grassland .. malamang di sanay hehehe

In the Phils , maximum that i went to far is 180kmh. Don't dare to go faster ( can't go faster anymore ), was driving at skyway in a Starex. Abit shaky and floaty. I can hear wind from inside. heheh.

 

In Malaysia , I went once at 220Kmh in an Audi A6. Well that trip cost me 2 tickets , caught me driving at 170Kmh and 140Kmh.

 

Autobahn Germany , with a RUF modified Porsche i went up to nearly 280Kmh. Of course it was a private road for car testing.

 

Just came back from Australia , tried on Nissan 350Z which i borrowed from my fren who owns a car shop, went along coast at 260Kmh.

 

Of course each driving experince is different. It can be more scarier driving on Edsa at 90Kmh when there is alot of cars.

i wish all those who passed away, or maybe lost special people due to reckless street driving can post here and tell their story. i am sure there were far many than all of us combined.

 

perhaps, we can all stop encourage everyone else from bragging about their road antics.

 

i just want to remind everyone that many people out there would want to be in our shoes driving those expensive, high speed and luxury rides. risking losing all those, our lives and those that we endanger is not worth the "rush".

200kph in my 2.4Camry (stock). did it in NLEX around 5-530 sunday morning. was coasting at around 160, saw a clear stretch and just punched it, i had the ect on so it just jumped up. I would have gone faster if it weren't for my chicken heart.

I totally agree with you on this.. If you guys want to go fast and claim yourself the best.. drive in on the track.

Being a diesel fan, my record for a diesel pickup is a sustained 160 km/h in a friend's Ford Ranger turbo diesel 4x4. It was at south super from beyond the Shell station to the Calamba exit, about 2 in the morning on a weeknight. It was raining slightly so there were not too many big bikers or small cars to bother about. The acceleration was just decent by gas engine standards, but once the whistling turbo had time to spool up we got to the wrong side of the speed limit soon enough. The engine peaked at 170 km/h now and then when traffic allowed.

 

The stopping distance of the heavy pickup is not so good especially in the wet, so at 160 km/h in the rain, if the other driver misjudges you and cuts, there is little you can do to avoid hitting him.

 

But I've heard it said that if you are driving a truck, pick up, or SUV and you are about to impact a smaller car or a motorcycle, its always better for you if you hit the other guy square-on with your nose so that your heavy engine can protect you. Of course it also means that you are more likely to k*ll the other party. There is little chance that his car's much advertised hi-tech safety features can protect him enough from a direct hit with a heavy-duty vehicle triple its weight and whose bumper will impact near window level, way above its crumple zones.

 

If you are going to drive fast, stay in the bigger vehicle. Let the other guy be the casualty. Which is why my sis drives a heavy pick-up for my family's peace of mind.
