Coming back from Redondo Beach to Las Vegas on I15, I got my S up to 136 while racing a RX8. Pretty fun, I was really amazed at how stable this car was. It was almost as if my car felt more stable the faster I went. I loved it!!!!

146mph in a 1991 CRX 1.6i-VT (148hp VTEC model, dont think the USA got this as an official import) at an 'undisclosed location' in the UK. Hit redline in 5th. Thats what the speedo said, probably only 140 realistically though.

On a bike, well, about 165 (1991 Kawasaki ZZR1100)

550whp 2200 pound civic hatch

spare built GSR motor out kenny trans race car, SC61 @ 22 psi. Not sure what speed cause the speedo was buried for a good 30 seconds after it indicated 120, i'm guessing 160-170 or so. The car spun 5th on the highway and i've never been so scared

162 MPH Porsche 911 Targa - In Montreal on the Canadian government's test track. The track had banked turns which really made it fun.

175 in a friend's 911 turbo race car - he was driving on the roval/banking at MIS. 162 in my own race car - highly built Corvette, don't own it anymore. 111 GPS verified in a Fountain off shore boat - most exciting of them all, some guy in our marina found out I liked fast toys and took me for a ride. Somewhere right around the speed limit in my S2K ;-)
