Whats the fastest speed you have gone in your Neon?
Whats the fastest speed you have gone in any car? Driving or not driving.
I have gone 95 mph in my Neon.
I was going 105 in my friends Kia Sephia mtx.
That car was a p.o.s

155 mph.... back straight at road atlanta in a Carrera with a Porsche Driving Experience Instructor .... for FREE! We did 2 full laps while racing other instructors, including the legendary Hurley Haywood.
( My college car club used to volunteer with PDE... nothing like getting to jockey around 30 brand new 996's at Road Atlanta... ahh, i miss the good ole days)
other than that... 110 in my 1GN, 120 in a '78 924. * Both on closed roads.

Neon - can't tell, the speedo tops out at 120mph, and it was buried. Rt95 going into Delware from Maryland.
Non-Neon - 180mph in a Porsche 911 on the Autobahn(before there were no speedlimits).

About 85-90 in the neon--but i've only had it since October so I haven't gotten the chance to "testing" it.
Around 120 in a friend's Mustang. It was like 5am in the middle of nowhere on that highway.

130-135 in my '92 Taurus SHO. Surprisingly, even at 120k miles it was still smooth as glass. Slowing down, however, took a lonnnng time. Haven't driven anywhere near that fast since I got rid of that car.

81.66 mph. (At the strip.)
There aren't any places around here that are safe for speeds higher than that. Other than that, it's definitely not worth losing my license over going faster on the street.

In the Neon, 100MPH
Otherwise, 140MPH at the Richard Petty Driving Experience. (passenger). 2 laps around the track were over before I knew it.

Rt. 11? Maybe your part of 11 isn't as straight and deserted as mine is. My buddy claimed his brother took his C5 vette up to 160 down on 11.

My cousin did that this past summer (only a couple of days left of it

) He said it was quite a rush. It was a gift from his wife. It's gotta be awesome going that fast.

It's plenty straight but the surface blows ass. State Patrol camps this area like crazy, too... Like I said, not worth losing the license over, either... Maybe if I ever get ballsy, Lake Road (Rt. 531) is pretty straight and smooth.
