128 at some time between 12am and 3am on a 4 lane divided road on the outside of town. I turned the OverDrive off before the "race" and the guy wouldn't let up after me beating him so we just kept going until I was about to hit redline in 3rd and since the OD was off it wasn't going to shift (Arrrgggg stupid automatics).

The details have been held because of the possibility of incrimination

I get chills reading these numbers. Here in New York I am not going more then 10 over the limit in most cases because of the points and insurance premium increase, however when I traveled to Quebec I did 105-110 twice, ones in a Grand marquis and the second time in a Toyota Sienna both reatals, I took the risk because I tought they don't share the conviction records, then when I checked the NY Dept. Motor Vehicle website it says that they do share info with Quebec and Ontario, that was funny to me because they don't share with any other State. Try to understand why...

Hi folks!
I went approx. 180-190 km/h in my first car ever, a SAAB 900 EMS '80. Hard to say how fast I was going, the speedo showed 200 km/h but then you have to calculate with the fact that almost every car shows higher speed than you are really travelling in. Im my rescent car, a Citroën BX 19 GTi '90 I haven't tried yet to run it all the way, but 170 on the speedo is no problem, steady as a rock and almost 1000 revs left to the redline. Mighty fun car to drive, but it's funnier to drive on a twisty road instead of going in a straigt line.

Best regards from Sweden
Niclas

I hit over 220km/h in my 1982 standard datsun 280zx. The old 3 speed limited me to about there. Now however i have just put in a 320 hp with a 5 speed. So ill have to let you know on the new top speed.

Sunny day, dinner time, clear French motorway, one Peugeot 406 V6 and 210km/h. Arriving from the UK the no camera zone glue my right foot to the floor.
For A road it's 140km/h with my 306... late for work so clear path.

i've been to 130mph in 4th gear in a 1992 dodge daytona v6 3.0L 5-speed. Does anyone know how to disable the speed limiter?

I think the fastest i've ever traveled on a public road was 124 mph, in a 95 Camaro. fastest i've ever been in my life was at Frank Hawley's Drag School in FL. Went 201.31 mph with a 6.90 et. Talk about an adrenaline rush, i think i was on an adrenaline high for an hour after that run on the last day. Best money i ever spent for an amusement ride.
