I did 125 in my car on the way home from picking it up with the top down. The only reason I let off was the whistling from the windshield, was a tad bit loud. The 150 was after having lots of mods done, top up. I do have a calibrated 160 speedo, compared with GPS; I'm pretty sure I'm very close to <1% error.

my old POS buick lesabre, kinda scary, my friend was in front of me and he hit 146 in his ttop N/A supra with phone pics. I've hit 135+ pretty damn easily in my dads lincoln LS, gets up on the top end and it handles like a beast so its was pretty damn smooth, I have one run on my video phone from 20-135 of the speedo. I think almost every time I have driven that car I've got it to 90+, mostly on this huge straightaway that is 4 lanes across and empty at all times just outside of my GF's neighborhood.
I just had her up to 140mph on the autobahn, still not going above 3/4 throttle in 5th...figures I didn't have my camera on me
I'm still babying the car, I just had it rebuild and I'm worried about the tune
I need to put my summer tires on next time, going 140 on 205/60/15 snow tires mentally just didn't seem smart
Fastest I've ever gone....hmm....
P.
(below the 140 on the speedo, it says MPH) Needle was on "P"
Of course I couldn't verify exactly what speed, but thats what it said. 3am going across a 7mi bridge, no other traffic, flat road. Grabbed 3rd coming out of the tunnel and ran up every gear. Just could NOT go any faster. Gears topped out. I decided to let off when the road humped ahead and I didn't wanna fly off the road. Car was amazingly stable though. This was in my old '89 that had a 306, e-cam, E/L Shorty headers, off-road H, CAI, 5-sp, 3.27 rear.

i hate that im 3 pages late to this thread, but ive only had my stang 1month before getting it upto 115 in a street race aginst a SVT focus... i dont have an E-brake so that was a little scary.. i didnt think the pettle break was gonna stop me in time.. i have the cobra breaks and Disk all the way around..
about 95 before i let off yesterday racing some late 80's z28.
(best part about it was that my wife was in the car, and before we took off from the light I looked over at her and said "this could get interesting".)
In the '00 GT i used to drive I got up to about 125. All I've got to say is, high school, fast and the furious, and late night. Not a good combination.

February 1997. Ex-wife asleep in the passenger seat, on vacation in ex-mother-in-laws 95 GT ragtop(roof up), left Carlsbad Canyon State Park, New Mexico, headed to El Paso. I think the sign said 166 miles, if memory serves. Made it to my mother-in laws house in El Paso in an hour and thirty seven minutes. Don't know top speed(never looked at speedometer that long, learned not to from Derek Bell at Road America- he said it was irrelavent), but not a bad average. I love Texas.
