235 Km/H (147 Mph)
I think I hit the speed governor, I'm not sure, the road wasn't very smooth after that, and I got scared of my hood shaking, and my book says it was limited to 235, so I backed off.... this summer I'll find out with the governor off.

Since here in LA there's too much traffic to get going I had to wait until I was working at 4 in the morning. Hit 120 going west on the Richard M. Nixon Highway ( the 90, or Marina Freeway), the worlds shortest freeway! After getting on it and taking the lefthand bend I only had about 3/4 a mile to hit 120 mph. Think the hood was doing its lifting thing...
The eastbound way is good too except for the fact that the cops at the Pacific Division and the CHP guys use the onramp there!

RE: Top Speed?
I've seen threads on this and they routinely say 150ish. I had mine to 148 according to the speedo, but at that high of a speed I'm sure it was a little off. Here's a pic of when it was around 143. I was on I-10 between El Paso and San Antonio. If any of you have been through there, you know it's 558 miles between the two with only a couple of towns in between. The drag from the wind really slowed me down after 130.
