Page 1 of What is the fastest you have driven a car/ bike at?

Of course it could be off the road. 

Mine is probably a lot less than some of you, but the fastest I have driven a car was 120. MPH. It was a Nissan Sylvia.

A mere 103mph for me! And only twice at that.

Been on the back of a bike at 150mph on the A46 or A47 (always get them mixed up)

Back of a bike at 170.

Many years ago a 125mph in a ford Capri I think it was a suped up version that Ford knocked out,it was my brothers who then wrote it off along with the car he hit a few years later luckily nobody was hurt.

Once got 95mph out of an old knackerd Honda 250cc motorbike,a G5 I think it was.

Think mine was a little over 100... in my faithful old Vauxhall Nova. That was fun... for a few seconds... then the back end started swinging out and I nearly flipped it. Slowed down a bit after that, funnily enough, and haven`t dared go stupidly fast since.

Um, 150+ on the back of a bike? Wasn`t that a little terrifying? :)

186mph on a bike, several times.
I know I was actually doing 186mph, because the bikes are limited to that by a `gentleman`s agreement` the manufacturers have.
The fact they clearly wanted to go faster but just stopped, told me I`d hit the limiter and was doing 186mph.
In a car, around 140mph is the fastest I`ve been.
And that felt a whole load scarier than the bike.
High speed in a car gives me a scary sense of a whole lot of energy needing to slow down.
A bike will come down from high speed with much less drama.
You`re talking 300kgs, as opposed to 1500kgs for your average car.

Sums it up with bikes, it`s just so effortless.
You`re there in seconds.
Even a 600cc bike will do 0-130mph in around 11 seconds.
