180mph in Ferrari F430 Spider with straight pipe, also my other record is from Alhambra, CA to Las Vegas in 2 hours and 45 minutes in a Buick.

I raced the Flash once and he was going almost the speed of light but I smoked him with my Procede 335. 335 rules everything!!!!

Sorry I couldn't resist....

I was chasing a VW Tourag which has a higher governor because he was pulling away from me on the straights, I made up distance by carrying my speed into the turns and I never saw the needle go past 150mph, downhill, uphill, level, doesn't matter. Now, you caused me to dig up my old 330 catalog and guess what? It states the car is governed at 149mph for the 330i and 150mph for the 330xi. Your adrenaline was running high which caused you to become delusional, by all the evidence I have seen, the car is governed at 150mph. But I will do one more experiment just for you, I will set my speed warning function in Idrive to 155mph and replicate your run. I'll post the results after the next time I have to hit the Autobahn, which may be tomorrow if I feel the itch to drive up to Wurzburg.

n1smo I'm with you in theory...but M Coupe is supposed to be governed at 155 as well. Some times it just doesn't kick on when it's supposed to. (Pic is courtesy of me breaking in the car on A63 between Mainz and Kaiserslautern

)

Everytime I had enough space. I'm thinking it wasn't set properly at the factory. The worst is when it kicks in and the engine just loses power. A7 is also a great drive. Enjoy it while you can. I miss it.

165 in an e60 m5

Str8EJ · 05-26-2007, 12:10 PM

couple of years out of college - pegged the speedo (120+) in my '93 civic, less than one week after completing my first motor changeover.
going south on i-75, south out of atlanta, past midnight.
only other car on the road (apparently) was a state trooper.

felt like 200 mph.
stupid, stupid, stupid.

result was a rather hefty fine & lecture, but no visit to the pokey.

AW335TT · 05-26-2007, 05:24 PM

160ish in my Evo 9 on the PCH

The needle would not go past 150mph (tried for ~5 miles). So, unless you think you have a special e90 330i that is able to go above the top speed listed by BMW, you were seeing things.

n1smo, I also verified BMW manual and it states top speed at 150mph, but I do know that the speedo needle went past 150. There were posts on here how the BMW speedo over exaggerates by a few MPH. Do you think its possible that the needle showed 155, but in reality it was going 149-150? Obviously you spent a lot more time on the autobahn and at high speeds than I ever would. Could there be slight differences between the 335 and 330, Euro vs US spec?

Now the military/CIA guys can chime in. Curious to see if any old A-12 drivers are out there.

Not a driver but I worked on the SR for a couple years until the final shut down in 1998. I think there top was 2200 Mph.

lol 2200 huh? That's about mach 3.5-4 depending on the altitude.

MJO9040 · 05-28-2007, 12:50 PM

so far 115 in my not broken in 328i e92

hotrod2448 · 05-28-2007, 01:05 PM

I've had my Evo up to 145mph once or twice. The fastest I've ever driven was around Fontana with the driving school I used to work for testing some new wing setups. I averaged something like 218mph.

I've been 175 mph in a 00' GTS Viper and 175 in a 00' Yamaha R1 (both indicated speed.. I'm sure it was lower by a big error margin)

achien · 05-29-2007, 10:03 AM

120mph driving in a rental Pontiac Sunfire on Pennsylvania Turnpike from Philadelphia to New York.

On my second round trip I got caught and got stuck with a $495 ticket. (Ouch!!!)

" Developed for the USAF as reconnaissance aircraft more than 30 years ago, SR-71s are still the world's fastest and highest-flying production aircraft. The aircraft can fly more than 2200 mph (Mach 3+ or more than three times the speed of sound) and at altitudes of over 85,000 feet. " From fas.org http://www.fas.org/irp/program/collect/sr-71.htm
