About 190km/h in a 60 zone. I was racing a Honda Prelude on my way home one night. It was in a Datsun 1600, modified; 2.4 stroker. Lucky the cops didnt see us or we would have been f#@ked like a bitch.

I wish I did take a pic to prove it... I also wish I left earlier (I was driving at around 6am both times) because I would've probably been able to get past 210 withe less traffic bothering me.

The craziest one I've experienced was when me, my dad, my uncle, and Mr. Eibach's rep borrowed Mr. Eibach's (yeah...the one who makes the springs) old AMG C-class in germany...we were on the autobahn and my dad was going pretty quick... basically the speedo's arrow ran out of numbers to count. 8)

...in the rain I might add.

...then all of a sudden a BMW blew past us.

Dont't know. Over 280 kph, I guess (E55 AMG without limiter, 928 S4, Audi S6, S8 ...). Speedo showed over 300, but I dont belive it.

i do over 180 everyday on the way home (well no every day cause i'm not home everyday.. but 4-5 days a week..)

fastest ever was in 1 out of the 2 (so they say) Diablo's in Israel.. (that Diablo is now back in the UK.. as the owner came with it from there.. he was a friend of my uncle.. very nice dude.. gave it to me for a whole night.. no BS.. didn't have a digi then and i still don't LOL [i just canceled my order but i'm thinking about getting the Fuji finepix S5000.. the 7000 is too much IMO..] did take a pic with a regular cam.. i'll post the pic when i'll find it and scan it.. [posted it a long time ago in SC.net.. but i lost the scan when my HDD got fucked along with a lot of other stuff..] anyway i did about 300Kph (maybe a bit over\under i'm not sure.. i was too scared to look for more then a split of a second..)

Don't see the point in boosting about your top speed but that may be because at my top speed i'm still getting passed by everyone on the motoway!!
The Clock on my mini goes up too 90mph then the needle goes a little further!! so most the time i'm in the middle lane still getting passed by rep mobiles (eg vectras) in the outside lane!!

120mph (approx 190kph) for 30 minutes in my 360 in california south of san francisco. Stable as a rock. In retrospect, not a smart thing to have done.
