137 in my Corrado VR6.

Another time, my friend was driving and had the cruise control set at 120mph.

Damn that car was rock solid at speed.

165 and accelerating in my Fastrax T-51 Supra...uh on a test track in Mexico. I was racing a modded white R-33 skyline which I hear had 550hp, although at the time the owner said it was stock...yeah right. We had to shut down or we would run into the vettes in front of us which took off about 10 sec sooner.

Btw my spedometer in the Honda was measured recently with the following results:

50=50
90=90

@ SUN

50=50
90=90
120=121
I had about the same when I used a GPS to check the precision of the speedo, I did 258 Kmh on the clock in Germany.

So why is the max speed published 241 Kmh ??
