>150 multiple times.
My Cadillac CTS within about 10 mins of owning it
My Camaro SS T-Top. (ZZ Top's Beer Drinkers and Hellraisers was playing so it wasnt my fault)
Buddy's 500hp Eclipse Batmobile. prlly over 170 mph in that honestly.

Pretty much all on I-10.

130, Camaro, 28. Almost crapped myself at how quickly and smoothly it got up there. But I'm a nervous fellow.

I realized quickly Perelli Ps were not the type of tire that meant to go that fast.

That's barely pushing that bike, 140s on a modern 600 are pretty easy to hit. Busa's are just starting to get fun.

127 in a 2008 Audi TT. 20 or 21 years old? Just wanted to see how fast it could go on a late night, well-lit empty highway. It was surprisingly quiet and comfortable.

On the opposite end, 110 in a 2000 Honda Civic when I was 18ish on again an empty road. Things were rattling, the engine was screaming like a banshee, the steering wheel felt like a jackhammer I actually laughed during the whole time because it was so bad.

137mph

1996 Z28 convertible

Down a straight-line two lane country road (it was at night and I was praying that a deer wouldn't step out - thought the top was going to rip off!)

22-years-old

Extremely stupid

Didn't make them back then, but now I'm too smart to pay $300-400 on an ice chest - but, I'm not too smart to do a 137mph again!

Really?!? These cars are quick, but there's no way that car was stock. I'm inclined to question the accuracy of BMW's speedometer...if you truly hit 182 you have big balls my friend...or a small brain!
