Ok guys. What the fastest you've ever gone for top speed, and what's the best quarter mile you've done? I am interested to see your results.

I've gone 146mph. Although with the driver's side window down at those speeds there was some serious drag and gaining 1mph with my bolt on brick was slow

I've done 139 in my car, but ran out of road and who knows how much it would have taken to get to 150.

Only 121 but I came up on a nasty curve like a SOB so it scared me enough that I will not be trying it anytime soon.

I went 135 once. Thats when I found out that if you need to slow down really fast at that speed it's not fun. I'll never do that again on a public road.
