220 in a supercharged Thunderbird. I rolled down the window to see what would happen and nearly burst my eardrums.
For anyone wanting to reach ludicrous speed I suggest the dump road in Okotoks. If you've ever taken hiway 2 through the town, and up a GIGANTIC hill to a t-intersection (left goes to High River, right goes to Longview) then you've driven the road. I was in a buddy's topaz that had a speedo that only went to 140, but we were doing well over that when we hit a gopher and split it into about 4 pieces.
The dumbest thing I ever did was 160 on rollerblades behind a truck on that hill. We even have it on tape. It was all fun and games until we decelerated to about 100, and one of my wheels melted and tore off in turn jamming my skate. Going that fast on one foot was a little sketchy.
I also have a friend who used to see how fast he could go spread eagled on the windshield of vehicles. I was in an Audi that was doing around 160 with him holding on to the wipers. Now that was ######ed.
Ahhhh memories of small town fun.......
