Last Sunday(~10:40PM - 1:40AM), me and my friend were going to pick up another friend at the airport in STL...we did about 110-120 the whole way up on I-44E...all this in a 2004 BMW 525i...that thing just doesn't feel right if you aren't going at least 100...thank God we didn't get caught! Funny thing was my friend got a $90 ticket the next day for doing 50 in a 35 in-town!

Highway speeds average 70-84mph.
Best speed 120mph
Best time 117 with a trooper in the passengers seat and he had the "white knuckle express" going on. Fear...gota love it.
In a 03 4.7 Dodge Dakota 4X4....No mods.
I am so lame.

I have done a few long runs at upward of 140 on several highway rallys. However my claim to fame was 117 in a 25. Because of me they put stop signs on a windy street all the way down. It was the stupidest thing I have ever done in my life. Almost five times the speed limit is just plain stupid.

The fastest I've gone in my Alfa was over 240km/h (150mph) on 'S' rated tires!!! I didn't really look down at the speedo that much, but I watched it pass the 240 mark. When going that fast, I went around a slight bend in the highway that I didn't realize was that sharp. Well let's just say that I almost crapped my pants as my car drifted from the inside lane to the outside lane
Hey ryan_eyres, what town do you live in? I live in Nanaimo. I've only come across one other Autopian from Vancouver Island.
PS watch out for the hwy patrol.

Just out of interest what [alleged] offense was committed by the driver of the 944 that warranted a chase speed of 147 MPH?
My speeding record- 16th birthday, first car, Triumph TR3A, booked at 95 MPH, must have become wiser maybe, nothing 50+ years anon

137 in an '87 560SL with the top down. Can you say buffeting?

In town within 5mph of the speed limit. On the highway about 10mph over with the ocassional "let's open her up runs." My K40 has served me well.
I've touched 140 in my old integra, that was pretty interesting..
I've gone 155 in my cobra. The cobra took about half the time to acheive this.

Yeah, usually the 5/10 over is about all you can get away with even with a good detector, and if you're all alone when you get hit with instant-on/laser you're toast anyhow. When you go for the really big numbers it's just a matter of luck. Even getting down to the limit with *heavy* braking can get you cited if the LEO wants to be a [mean guy]. And once you get pulled over, it's all matter of how the LEO wants to play it.
