I've buried the speedo in My Z28 and stayed in it a little bit longer, It was about a year ago though, so I can't remember exactly what the revs were at when I let out. I'd have to guess somewhere around 165-170 atleast.

At the time I was cam only and all the bolts ons, but forgot to have the speed governor turned off 
I def had room on the tach to go another 10-15mph but it kept banging the governor...DAMNIT.Since then I've added heads, spray and tune, but went with the 4.11's in the rear so no more high speed runs.
Also went 155mph in my old 97 Supra TT and 162mph on my 02 CBR600 F4i.

I did 140 once just to see what that kind of speed felt like. I was bone stock at the time so I couldn't go much faster without shifting into OD. As soon as I hit 140 I shut it back down to 70. It was fun but I'm too paranoid of getting busted or killed so I only did it the one time.
