Default Fastest you've gone on a public road without getting caught?

210 kph here. On a freeway that has a maximum limit of 80 kph. Did it with my old A4 and an old company car - a mitsubishi lancer same year model as the evo3 (im too sleepy to bother checking the year) that had a modified exhaust, quick shift, and a busted limiter.

My then girlfriend was there in the lancer with me - sleeping. lol.

I hit the rev limiter in the Mazda 6S...that equates to about 149mph or so...but the fastest I've been was with 4 people in a 993 C2 Tiptronic...I think we made 152mph on I-94 between Ann Arbor and Jackson Michigan.

the fastest ive been in my own car was on the highway. took it to 115 mph before i backed off. ive been to 130 in my girlfriend's deathtrap ('87 mercury cougar) and that was a scary experience only because it was never made for that speed. lol. ive researched the governor on my talon and its set at 137 mph, so i'll have to test that eventually
