135mph at Atlantic City Expressway. It took me like from NYC to AC in about 1 Hour and 15 minutes. Normally it would take at least 1hr and 45 minutes - 2 hrs.

I've been just a little over 100 in my 95 Camaro
Two of my friends were "racing" with me. One in a 98 Cavalier, we lost him real quick.
And my other friend in a 97 Eclipse. He started to slow down for some reason so I let off.

I don't speed much too afraid I'll get a ticket I guess :p

Fastest overall speed was 140 with a little left.

Most over a speed limit was 130 in a 40.

All done in a 96 Mustang GT with a few mods. Sometime I miss that car :(

erub, Yep. After 110, It feels like your car is floating above the road, and a slight hard turn and you're dead!

105 in my mom's 91 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, The digital dash read 105 and a turn was approaching so I backed down. This was on I-295 in NJ :D

I did 118 in a 65 in my 1991 Nissan Stanza driving home from Austin to Houston on Texas 71. There is a real nice part in the middle thats brand new road with barely no exits and a barricade in the middle, and theres no traffic. Without the barricade I wouldnt attemt it because the cops on 71 usually crossover the freeway to get you...later that same trip home I did about 115 on Interstate 10 just before Katy Mills...again barely no traffic, new pavement that expanded to 3 lanes from the usual two. But usually on average I stick to about 90 mph the whole way. And of course I have my trusty radar detector.
