What's the fastest you've been in a car?
I've seen 185mph on my 1999 Yamaha R1 but due to speedo error it was more like 170.
Still it was very fast & stupid. The R1 has a large digital speedo so at those speeds you can acctualy read it. In a car was 135mph in a Jag XJ12

About 190mph (~310kph) in a 996turbo on a test track. Quite impressive how the car feels at such a high velocity. I wouldn't even think about going as fast as that on any open road, though. I hardly go faster than 135mph on the Autobahn (where it's allowed of course).
120 mph (friend's Porsche 911)
110 mph (friend's Mercedes 380SE Euro-spec)
100 mph in 4th gear (my S2000 - top down)
90 mph - just into 3rd gear (friend's Viper GTS coupe)
80 mph (Ferrari 308)
I think the most fun was either in the S2K
or the Viper, the sound of the S2K was incredible but the push from behind of the Viper was intoxicating. Older Ferrari, but good sound also

I got a ride in a friends graduation present back in 1968.

123 in the stook, this past friday, running with a boxster 
(stayed even, right on his tail. It was technically rush hour and neither one of us wanted to do anything stupid, until we hit an open stretch of road and did 123 of course)

In my S2000 148 mph.
But the fastest I've been in my friend's '95 twin turbo Supra modified, 500hp. Went 178 mph. It still wanted to go but me and friend got scared. This car is the sickest car I've ever sat in and feels a lot faster than a '98 Viper GTS and a '98 911 turbo, cause I've driven both.
