Default MPH Whats the fastest you've gone?

Alright everyone whats the fastest that you've ever driven? Hey, no BS now, I always hear some kid claiming he went 200mph in his Geo and all I can do is smirk and say "Oh really". Being honest the fastest I've ever gone was 130mph. That was in a 1993 Cadillac Seville. The car wouldn't go any faster because the engine was at redline.

honestly, no lie, my speedo goes to 150.. i had the needle buried, laying on the pin for 2 seconds, so i cant really tell how fast it was, but everything seemed to be going by me in slow motion. it was kinda cool but kinda scary

Okay, no BS:

In the 'vette, shifted into from 5th at about 6000 RPM (188 ish) into 6th, let it pull hard for just a moment -- indicated 192.

In the Camaro, 150-155ish -- basically let it rip a bit longer after a quarter mile run on a long track. Has a lot more left but . . .

In the Porsche, 125 -- never pushed it.

And, most unique: 137 in a 1964 Alfa Romeo Sprint Special Zagato I rebuilt in 1975 (might not sound like much but it was a 1600 cc (92 cubic inch) four with carburators!)
