125 MPH
Got in to it with a eclipse on my way back from Carmel the other day. My wife & I were cruzing at 80 & this guy pulled along side & thought he wanted a piece of me. Dropped to 4th & ran it back up to 6th & was at 125 in what seemed to be an instant. My wife was quite the cheerleader until she realized how fast we were going. Needless to say the mits was way way back in my rearview. Car handled flawlessly.

I did 130 passing a truck on I-95, the trucks tire started to disintegrate in front of me and pieces started to fly off, i got pissed and dropped it to 3rd and gunned it and took it to redline in 3rd and 4th and maybe 5th, dont remembmer....i was paying attention to the road and my friend who was in the car was like "holy ****, your doing 130 
" I slowed it down to about 90....but the car was so smooth and stable it was amazing, especially coming from an Integra which got kinda hairy after 95mph even with a worked out suspension.

Constantly over 120 and couple times 145. Havent used radar in 12 years. I got myself in more trouble when I had them than now that i dont have one. You have a false sense of security, plus it goes off allt he time and you never know what it is. I was telling on another thread that i got busted going 85 in 35. In perspective 50 miles over is a bunch, but if your cool they usually understand as long as your not driving insane. He gave me a ticket 24 over so I could take defensive.

Ha, that's more like it. I took Reno Megane, a freaking 1.6 liter, to 125 last year on the autoban in Germany. Wait 'till I get da Z.
