Well let's see here... 100 mph in a 1964 Galaxie - white knuckles and NOT fun.
Over 140 mph in my '71 Ranchero big block ...in Ohio no less.
175 mph on my Kawasaki ZX-10, pretty much anywhere, anytime.
142mph in the 1/4 on a 900 Kaw dragbike.

More to come...

I'm with you on the launch thing. Torque is KING!

86 cobra GT 'tweaked'... 174 in an 80... 4th gear...
A) glad I didn't get to 5th...
B) glad the laws changed AFTER that little trip....
C) glad the cop wasn't too pi$$ed off....

Funny... Mine was early am too... Like soooo many others... Late, (almost) empty roads...

240 km/ hr, need was pegged and car was still pulling. Age 17, a very long time ago. Near Goderich some smal town rural roads.
On the track. 10.03, dont remember MPH. But I was passenger in mid 80s pro street Camaro ( I saw Elvis in 1000 ft) and I am not a good passenger.
