135 back in 1987 in my 87 Iroc Z. That's all she would do.

140 mph in a HKS/Racing Beat RX-7 totaled the car few months later(young and stupid)
135 mph Kawasaki ZX6 sold for my 67 Nova about 13 yrs ago

120 gov limited on my current car a 05 mercury sable lol. Also went the same speed on my 01 heritage softail, a big turn was coming and I figured I should slow down. Good thing I made that decision, b/c the busa I was climbing speed with was pulled over on the corner as I passed haha

150 ish in a Cayman S (ran out of straight and had to break for turn 1)

150 MPH in a Mercedes 500 armored sedan, in Germany.
Phenomenally smooth ride.

Don't think I've ever been any faster (in a car) to the best of my knowledge. Amazing, that ticket cost me a $100.00 + 4.00 state sale tax back then!

I could bore you with the rest of the details, but I think this is enough for now!

Of course, my car is setup with lower gears now, restored and mostly trailered to car shows now. I'll never forget that daythough, ever! Not one of the better days..............Year? 1980.

155mph on my gsx-r 600, it was.......interesting......

scared to death

This

132 mph (on the gun) in my 69, on an old railway service road. Sheriff was nice enough to let me off with a warning (deserted railyard), times have changed alot in 20 years... recently, fastest was 110mph for about 5 seconds before my wife slapped me on our way to Grand Canyon (no kids), in my old Mazdaspeed6.

Speed kills... and my daughter needs her daddy.

80 with my 68 Camaro and 130 with a 05 Ford Crown Victoria Police Car at the track. That was a lot of fun.
