I took my bone stock AP1 to 152 and shut it down. I think it can go faster.

Other cars: To list a few.

LS1 Camaro (Stock) - 129.
'94 Supra Turbo (660+/- RWHP, it's been 10.1 @ 144) - 120.
'93 Civic Hatch (Back when it had about 600WHP, went 11.1 on low boost at the time) - 150ish.
'00 something Z06 (Heads/Cam/Intake/Exhaust, about 450WRHP) - 130ish.

I have the slowest car out of all of my friend's. :-(.

lets see, i've never raced or been to a track but in short bursts on freeways

AP2 i've only reached 104
and in a 99 escort a very unstable 101

i've also had a rental cessna up to 130 knots(149 mph) but that was in a dive.

I'm always top down, but I do roll the windows up when we do speed runs. Even so, there is enough wind noise to make me wish I had ear protectors.
