120+ on a freshly widened stretch of I-285 in North Atlanta, driving a Rocket 455 V8 powered Oldsmobile.

Yes, I was 16 years old. Why do you ask?

135+ in a 1964 GTO, in 1966, on public roads. I was 18 and stupid! I'm sure Tiger Paws weren't speed rated in those days!

How fast into Canada Corner? It's been a while since I was at Road America, but I'm pretty sure I was faster into Canada Corner than into turn 1 in my Porsche 968 race car. My fastest in that car is around 145 on the straights at various race tracks.

My Camaro isn't broken in yet, so it's too early to make any high speed runs.

I honestly don't remember on that one, probably in the 120s or so w/o traffic. I was in Group D so I was really more learning how to correctly race that track.

Now that I think about it.. my previous statement of 125mph in my '73 240Z is NOT my "land speed record".

I did go 180mph-ish in an A340 a few times........ right before it took off into the sky.

I hit 100 MPH+ in a Toyota Echo. It started to become unstable, and I know the tires were not rated for such speed. I was afraid to step on the brakes so I coasted in order to slow my speed.

I'll never, ever do that again. Dumb doesn't begin to cover it.

150 in the SS. Definitely had more in it, but I was the only one on the road late at night and stuck out like a sore thumb... didn't want to press my luck.
