Every car I have owned over the years have been tested by me to see how fast I can get going. Bieng that a stock speedometer is just acturicate(sp?). Well in my 88 Ford Tempo I got the badboy up to 80mph, my 94 Pontiac Sunbird was 110mph, my moms 98 Pontiac Grand AM GT 115 mph, my 2000 Mitsubishi Elecipse GT would be 137 mph (and the rev limited cut the engine). The fastest I have got the Explorewas 100mph on the way to O'hare a couple of weeks ago. I have obtained these speeds on I88 toward Dekalb, since there are some nice stretches of open road and limited police presence.
But the truly fasted I have been in a car was 165 mph, at the Richard Petty Driving Experince at Michigan International Speedway a few years back.
