    If you want to see how fast your car can go you can take it to the Portland International Raceway. The top speed for a 2013 Porsche Panamera is 160mph.

    I considered myself to more mature than most guys my age for most of my life. Always had a steady job, avoiding most trouble, did what I was supposed to in school. But I wasn't mistake-free. I took my '97 Nissan Sentra to 115 on the I-5 and the 205. Just wanted to see if it could go that fast.

    Exactly.... if there's nobody around, it's not really a threat to others, just yourself. Not saying it's smart, just saying it's understandable for a kid to do it.

    Yeah, that's not where I'd do it. I must be dumb.

    A friend of mine got a Dodge Viper up to 140mph over the Glenn Jackson bridge, let me drive on the way back and I only took it up to 120mph.

    It's fun going that fast huh? I went 155 once on the freeway in my e63. The governor kicked in so I couldn't go faster. It's a rush watching cars going 80 zip by me.

    Shit, I dunno if it was even V-6. It was shaking and rattling every time I got it up that fast (I did it 3-4 times). Hell, it was doing that at 85 (which I did with regularity).

    I once going across 205 bridge going into WA broke my speedometer at 120 in a big Chrysler station wagon with a big built engine.

    Gone down 84 quite a few times going 80-90 mph trying to get to a Blazers game on time.

    Hilarious. He just wasn't watching the speed limit, that was the problem!!

    This happens to me all the time: I'm driving along, not paying any attention to the speed limit, and then before you know it, I'm going 107 mph!!!

    65 Chevy V8 station wagon, one of the bigger cars ever mass produced. I wasn't on a freeway, so 107 was all I could do before the street entered town.
