I've been up to around 140, car still felt pretty good, but at about 130 I start to get some driveshaft vibration (or some kind of vibration!)

Well I know for sure that I have done over 150mph in mine..... I know this because the Police told me that I was averaging 147mph for about 2 miles when they were fronting a case against me in court!!

Unfortunately I also have the record to prove it and the newspaper and internet article that was written about it!!

It was about 2 in the morning in the middle of nowwheresville...... not my proudest moment!!

The fastest I have been is in my TVR Sagaris... backing down from 185mph.... things sure do approach you fast at that speed, and when there is no traction control, airbags, ABS etc, just a roll cage and a fiber glass body between you and death it's exhilarating and **** scary at the same time:

I took mine up to 140mph once on an open road late at night, but that was it. I've only came close to/broken 100 a handful of times, I hit 100 every time I go to the track though

My max has been just shy of 130 MPH and still pulling. I quit because I was running up on traffic and my eyes weren't on the speedometer so I could have been a bit higher but I doubt it. I frequently used to run between 90 and 110 steady for about an hour or so at a time about a year ago on those twice a month 800 mile trips. She'd just sit there and purr at 105-110 forever if you let her.
