Know I just leave it for the track where I regularly see 125+mph in the straights (before cam).

Under a 100mph not because I didnt want to go faster but because the stupid truck has a govenor at 98 or so. It pulls pretty hard up to there. I know it could go faster.
And 155 or so in a 68 Camaro with 2.83 rear end gears, roughly 400hp and Z rated tires.

About 155 in my Z28. I'm amazed at how hard it pulled going over 100.
Also rode shotgun in a highly modified 1970 Superbird(stroked 440 V8, aftermarket 5 speed manual). My buddy had the 150mph speedo buried, that was scary and dumber than **** though. We didn't tell his dad about that after we gave him the car back either.

I've only done 120 in my camaro and thats what I said in the poll. I havn't had a good chance to go any faster. Come summer I know that will change because I know some good roads with no police 
The fastest I've driven was somewhere between 145-150 in my old lightly modded 92 AWD talon. I'm not 100% sure on the speed cause the speedo was broken at the time. 5th gear at 6500RPM's~145-150.
The fastest I've been is somewhere around 170 in a procharged saleen mustang. A cop came up on the otherside of the highway and tried to give chase to no avail, we got really lucky and I never rode with that buddy again.
