In real life,what's so far been the fastest speed you've driven in a car

Irrespective whether it was your own (current or previous) car or someone else's
(whether you were the one driving, or you were only a passenger doesn't matter),
what's so far been the fastest speed you've driven, without crashing and
harming anyone and/or also physically damaging the car. It doesn't matter if
it was on a road, or on a race track.

If it's miles, please covert it to a km figure as well and please elaborate on
what the serious or humorous circumstances of driving so fast far were.

When driving with my dad; 210km/h in a Ford Escort (1995). He tuned the engine a bit and made it more like a sports car.
I myself got up to 175km/h with a 1997 Volkswagen Polo.

Me personally? Never above 90 MPH more than likely. While in the car with another person? Around 120 MPH.

1992 Crown Victoria (Police Interceptor)

Empty Runway, Midnight, not enough supervision = 132 mph / 212.433 kph

Two years later they switched us to the Taurus.

All downhill from there.

110mph/177kmph?

My 98 Ford Taurus driving mid-day on the highway from Tucson to Phoenix. Noticed there was nothing but road in front of me and no other vehicles so I went up to 110 and stayed that way for a couple minutes. Good little rush to wake me up. lol

On Christmas day 1990 I hitched from Grootfontein to Windhoek in Namibia; the first car I got a lift in was a BMW and the driver took it up to 260 kpm (161 MPH)... the second person to give me a lift was driving an old VW camper... it was somewhat slower!

I drive a motorcycle, and at the time I was driving a Yamaha Maxim, I think it was a 1986 model. I drove 115 mph/185kph in Pennsylvania, on a really long straight road. I was planning to go faster but the road started to curve up ahead, and the last thing I wanted was to have a blind spot up ahead at that speed. The funny part was my girlfriend was on the back of the bike, carrying a suitcase in her lap, and the resistance from the wind made it feel like she was going to blow right off the back of the bike. Thankfully I didn't lose her.

I must say, I've been in a car that was going over 100, and it felt like nothing compared to being in the open on a motorcycle doing those kinds of speeds. I regularly drove 80-90 mph around then, but getting over 100 was always hard to do in NYC.

Over a 100, my trans am speedo only went to a 100 and I was still accelerating. I am guessing 110 to 120.
