What's the highest speed you've had your Z, and what is the fastest you've been caught speeding?

Mines 145 top speed & 90 top ticket.

155 top speed and 102 top ticket

150 plus and no tickets yet(knock on wood)

175 top speed.

Written up for 85 but she clocked me at 115. Gave me a break B/C I pulled over and waited for her to cross a divided median. I was in a '67 replica Shelby AC Cobra. Didn't matter if I went on, not many on street.

My top speed ticket isn't very high, but I did get a speeding ticket for going 20 MPH once.

In the Z, 147. and no tickets.

In a '69 Chevy in the Nevada desert, I was going over 150 (speedo was useless, buried in the dash) and was being followed by a small glowing red light in the far distance. After a few minutes I knew I could not win and pulled over and waited.

The officer's first question was why did pull over?, and I replied that I was running out of gas. After he stopped laughing, he wrote me up for 65 in a 55 zone.

My highest mph speeding ticket was 83 in a 70 zone. As far as my top speed goes, I aint telling because my insurance agent watches forums like this, and he already knows about the ticket.

**Red Kelly** · 01-07-2004, 07:22 PM

174 mph in the Z - no tickets to date but did get a warning for not having a front plate. I never did put it on and probably won't.

98 mph in a 55 mph zone in my wifes Acura TL

My top speed in my GTP was 245.

My biggest ticket was 140.

Oh! Forgot to mention that's Kilometers Per Hour

74pantera · 01-07-2004, 07:41 PM

Ok, don't laugh but the highest speed I have the Z up to is about 95.

One B.S. speeding ticket, 37 in a 25.

The wife has the record in her old 911, 105 in a 65. Lucky they didn't take her to jail.

What would I tell our daughter about her mom being an "EX-Con"

Deputy pulled me over when I was doing 90+ in a 55. She let me go with a warning. I was very polite.

When I was 16 I got a ticket for a 121 in a 55 driving a Honda Accord. No speeding tickets in the Z but, I've been pulled over twice for "sounding like I was speeding" and once for no front plate...got a ticket for the no front plate. Cost me 12 bucks and a stamp.
