Driving, 165 in a 98 Cobra Convertable on a wet road with the top down (yea we're all 16 and stupid once)..

Riding, 97 Supra TT with 490rwhp we got upto 180 and still pinned back in the seats..

edit:
Forgot to add, ive hit 140-145 several times in my 98 integra LS (only takes about 8 miles of road to get there!)

130 in a stock 1991 Acura Integra GS Automatic - all whopping 130hp at work there, rediculously long straight stretch of road
125 in a stock 2002 Acura RSX Type-S - against some dumb mustang
115 in a 1993 d16y8 swapped Civic CX - scary as hell with the CX's crappy suspension (230k miles on everything but the engine...lol)
110 in a stock 2005 S2000 - just for fun

funny how I've been up to the fastest speed in the slowest car...lol

Fastest spped was in a 2005 Acura TL on a two lane highway nearing Palm Springs.
Think we hit 145-150 mph. Not really sure as it has an analog speedo and like somelse said "it was getting a little busy" in the cockpit at the time.
I won't do that again.
