What's the fastest you've ever driven?
From the thread about "how much do tickets cost" people were talking about speeding tickets and how fast they were driving so I thought I'd start this thread. You can give us your story along with your vote in the poll if you like. Where were you? What car were you driving? Highway, freeway, street, off road, track? etc. etc.
I used to a have 1987 Mitsubishi Turbo Mirage that was fairly fast. In the desert on an undivided highway not too far from Palmdale in the early 90's I took it up to I think 110 to 115 Mph.
My brother when he was in high school had a Dodge Challenger with a 383 cubic inch V8 and was hopped up somewhat. I don't know what it could do in the quarter mile or what the 0 to 60 mph time for it was but from a stop I've never felt such acceleration and a feeling of getting pushed back into my seat as in that car. I never got to drive it myself though. He's 4 years older than I and he got rid of it because of the lousy gas mileage so by the time I was 16 and driving he had sold it.
 Make as many mistakes as you can as quickly as you can. We want to make sure that we make a great enough number of mistakes in a given amount of time so that we can be successful.
