Made it from San Marcos, Tx to the San Antonio River Walk in under 40 minutes back in 1990 in a chick's '91 Mustange GT 5.0 at around 3AM. The needle never made it to 140 because I was scared.

On the way back, she was driving and locked up the tires (too late) and slid past a trooper doing 91 in a 65.

135mph on I 94 north of Chicago, about 10 years ago.

I’ve driven a Ferrari 458 on a track and only pushed up to about 125. I’m still disappointed in myself for driving like a grandpa that day.

+140-mph in a BMW M3 on I-55 somewhere in south MS.

Fastest sustained speeds Brookhaven MS to Metairie LA 1 hour and 15 minutes (+100-mph average) in a Buick Grand National (I was a passenger in the car and never rode with that idiot again).

Indian Nations Turnpike in OK in the 1980's. Used to peg the speedometer past 140 and only slow down for the tollbooths going to from Tulsa/LaTech on quarter breaks in 1981 Dodge Challenger.

Sparse traffic, 4 lane divided rural highway, rarely ever see a hwy trooper back then.

Hellcat, wasnt mine. I dont really know in depth shite about engines and cars but they had also added to it. I feel it could have steadily done beyond that, but I didn't feel confident on that road doing that.

155mph on the A81 between Heilbronn and Wuerzburg. My weekly commute for a couple months. My cruising speed on this stretch was 110 or so. Still got the doors blown off me by various Porsches, Ferraris, etc.

About 110 driving down River Road getting my dog to the LSU Vet Clinic when he ingested some Stevia and went into shock.

Dog ended up fine after extensive treatment but they told me had I been too much later he would have died.

I regret nothing.

212mph in an outlaw 10.5 car at Houston Raceway Park is the highest. It was over in 6.8 seconds and I had the chutes out.

Highest sustained was ~160mph in Mexico in the car in my avatar.

Doubt anyone who hasn't lived in lovely Deutschland will get your spelling of this city.

I still get weird looks when I say Bayern or Muenchen.
