I know it says "car" but:
120 on my '04 FJR 1300 on the Dallas North Tollway. I just blipped through the gears getting on the entrance ramp, looked down and was like "oh SH@#$@#". Not very smart in traffic. But that bike pulls like a dream.

I'll jump in here - I was a passenger for both:
167 mph - 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec R34
182 mph - 2003 Porsche 911 (996) Turbo (Automatic!!)
Both cars in stock form. In both cases, there was more to go, but upcoming traffic made it unsafe to keep pushing.

135 in my S2000...
Last night I got a ride in a 94 or so Civic hatch with a GSR motor / T30 turbo pushing 10psi. I don't get scared very easily in cars... Onramp, second gear, he hit 4500rpm, turbo spooled, LSD front breaks loose and it feels like I'm on a space shuttle launch, stops spinning at about 70 or 80, hit third, fourth, going 130 in less than a half mile. Never felt anything like that in my life.
He ran a 12.8 at the track on $45 walmart tires (still on the car). They're MAYBE 185/15's.
Saving for Turbo kit now.

Redlined in 5th in 95 celica to 125, felt very safe.
Was pulling in 5th in s2000 and hit 135 on second day owning the s2k (previous owner 4k miles, broken in) scared myself with all the wind noises and stopped. Never tried again but I do 100 regularly on the highway home. Highway, not freeway.
Scariest on wheels? Much much younger, did 55 on rollerblades back in 94' with a friend in a car telling me the speed when it was all over. Extremely steep road about 1 mile straight and my bearings melted. I'm so happy to be alive.
