About a buck and a quarter in my Honda... we got the world's best "public drag strip" in my part of the world... The Lake Jessup Bridge... (my fellow local s2k owners have probably made a run or two there)... totally straight, smooth, with perfect retaining walls on each side... (bad news is, if you screw the pooch and take a plunge the lake is just chalk full of alligators)...
Fastest ride? That would be riding co-pilot with Ted Musgrave down the long back stretch at Road Atlanta (before the screwed it up with the kink before the bridge turn) in the Family Channel Ford... Georgia Trooper clocked him at 189 on Radar... kind of a rush... I drove a Cobra R Mustang and a Ford Cosworth Sierra Escort on the track while I was there... both ran to about 150 before we hit our "mandatory" braking point... interesting footnote... the Roush guys gave the trooper a ride in one of the cup cars... funny sight seeing him climb into the car with his uniform on....

Fastest in my S was around 140 mph.
Fastest in my (not stock) WRX I used to have was about 162 mph (based on gear calculator since the speedo didn't go that high).
Fastest on a bike was 177 mph on my '05 R1.
