128mph at the end of the quarter mile in my old 5.0 Mustang
129mph on a snowmobile at the end of a quarter mile
81mph on GPS in my boat
ran my old turbo Shelby Charger WFO til it would gain anymore RPM's.. I'm guessing 125-130mph
As a passenger:
113mph on GPS in a boat
Now this is just a guess, but I'm guessing 145-150 in a drag car that would run 152mph at the end of the quarter. We were on a back road and did the pass, I saw him click it into high gear and he ran it til it hit the rev limiter. I will say it was hazing the tires pretty hard thru the whole pass, so maybe a little slower. Nothing like sliding around at those speeds....
~145-150 in a Toyota Supra Turbo a while back when I had less judgement. That was one of the first modern cars to be insanely stable and feel like half the speed at that kind of velocity.
I have hit 130 on various tracks. It's really not a big deal in the right car in a controlled environment.
You got up to 110 in an Explorer? It didn't rattle at 80? What year?
No. Not at all. 110 on 1-10 couple hundred miles south of El Paso. Huge open road, no one around. You know, unlike the other two cars, it took a bit longer to get up there, but there was no rattling or unsteady feeling at all. I drive that thing on roads where the speed limit is 70 all the time, so I've routinely done over 80 in it.
2002 Explorer. V6. 4 door. Nothing special.
Not only that, but it's been an awfully stable car...don't ask me how fast I've taken a corner in it and not even feel it sway.
121mph when the governor kicked-in on my mother's 2008 GMC Acadia.
