Eh, the signs on 2222 in Austin say 35mph, but my buddies and I take those corners at around 100.

1997 Honda Civic EX-T 128, it would not go any higher.

198 kph. Please convert. Does not compute.

128 in an EX turbo? And it wouldn't go any faster? Somethings wrong here. My EX is all motor and it's still pulling at 130. (Pulling isn't really the word... it's more like slowly accelerating. :p )

have you ever driven on that small stretch of 51st before it hits 183?
 
1989 Toyota Pickup 4 cyl on 33" tires - 91mph
2001 Jeep Wrangler 6 cyl on 33" tires - 104 (WHOA)
1996 Acura Integra LS (stock at time) - 117
2001 Mustang - 115 (to hell with governors)
1999 Pontiac Grand Am - 112 (road was too curvy to do much else)
and my personal favorite..
2001 Dodge Grand Caravan - 121 (scary, isn't it)

I'm sure I have...
 
195 in my Uncle Vinny's Ferrari 348ts on our way to LA going thru Nevada in the Gumball 3000. Which by the way was the coolest fucking thing I've ever done in my life.
 
prior to the swap I'm in the middle of, got my 93 civic dx to 123mp/h
with me in the car got my friend's 2000 accord v6 vtec to 165ish
 
140mph subaru legacy
145mph 1994 civic chiped
102.5mph stock saturn sl1 (speed limiter)
120mph 2001 impala (speed limiter)
60mph 1986 honda reflex 200 ( :D kinda scarry on the dirt with street tires)
 
On the EX-T that I had, the engine had a govern on it and I did not get it taken off. (why, I don't know) It could accelerate fast as hell anyways.
 
my buddy's dad's a high $$$ lawyer and let us borrow his 9? greenwood vette to deliver some summons,buddy got taken to jail for a 178 on a 55 outside of brighton,CO.havent talked to him in awhile but I'll call and see if I can get a pic of the arrest form
 
I personally have gotten to the following highlights:

135 on I-476 NE Extension, in a Volvo S-40. That was a sweet car. Could have kept going, but hit traffic.
125 in my 00 Civic Ex, as fast as it goes! (Limited by the tranny?)
125 in a '95 Probe, as fast as it goes! (Limited by the tranny?)
95 in a 97 Ford E-350 Ambulance, as fast as it goes! (Governor)

The ambulance was by far the scariest.
