Fastest you've ever driven
Just curious. I saw this thread on the Camaro5 forums back when I was thinking about getting a ZL1, and it's usually interesting to hear people's stories.
For safety's sake and for everyone's best interest, I hope your top speeds were done somewhere legal. If not, it's probably not the best idea for you to state when/where you did it. Personally, I've had my C6 up to 165mph (265km/h), and that was utterly terrifying to me. The hypothetical top speed on the FR-S (6MT) has the car breaking that speed by a few mph at redline in 6th, but with wind resistance that'll never be anywhere near possible. |

Since this thread will be full of high speeds.. Ill go with a lower one..
200km/ 125mph Top speed does not matter for me. Corner speed matters. That is where the fun is.. |

105.
I'm not a thrill seeker and to be honest, higher speeds scare me a bit haha I only did that much because a good friend balked at the fact that I had never been over 100. I'm sure my car could have done much more but I didn't want to push it too hard.

126mph end of 5th gear. 6th gear to anything higher is like slow motion.

I've been over 100mph in both my MX-3 and the tC (but not the FR-S, only 95 or so), and for the 88hp MX-3 that was a heck of a feat that required a very flat, rather long, basically straight road that might be somewhere outside of Salinas, CA...

155 E46 M3 on a quiet stretch near Modesto, CA. Part of my more stupid younger days. I don't suggest it.

145ish in my GTO, bone stock, on the emptiest stretch of straight highway through West Virginia I've ever seen. Still comfortable as all hell.
