I would have to say a little over 170mph things get really scary at those speeds. felt like I was floating and having the t-tops off was a bad Idea also. but those days are gone I have the speed limiter set back to the factory specs.

170+ in my 99 C5 6spd. (few mods) on interstate 10 somewhere between Ft. Stockton and San Antonio. I stopped looking at the speedo because it was dark and at that speed I wanted to keep my eyes on the road.

~105 (stock, drag strip). I would love to go faster than that, but there is not a good road anywhere near here to attempt it on. Plus I'm terrified of getting a ticket, and for some reason I have never felt comfortable going over about 130 because at that point if a tire goes out or any number of other small things goes wrong, I'm pretty much screwed. Not worth it.

have hit 135 a couple times but took it up to 150 once. Had a little more left in it but was closing in on a curve in a hurry and backed off. 99Z A4 w/ 2.73 gears

150 here. Just did it the other evening actually. 145 a few times, and 130ish numerous times. I want to take it til the shift lite comes on in 5th@6700 which would be right at 170. Looking to do this sometime soon

110(limiter) in my 94 Cutlass Supreme stock
110(limiter) in my 94 Camaro V6 M5 stock
107(limiter) in my 2000 Cavalier Z24 M5 stock
Fastest I've been while riding in a car was like 145 in my best friend's 99 Cobra w/ cams
