How fast have you gone?

FYI I don't condone or promote speeding. Please obey all highway laws.


So this morning at 3:30 on my way home on I-81 I noticed there was a good 2 mile gap between any other cars front or back. I also knew this one stretch about 3 miles long was coming up. So having had my Max since June and putting 19,200 miles on it I decided I was gonna go faster than I've ever gone in it. (previous speed 100 mph)
So I used the WOT technique from 65mph; car downshifts and pulls amazing pretty hard for a N/A vehicle. Don't get me wrong its nothing like my Daytona with a T3 Garrett but the Max is pretty quick. So I went up to 120 before getting a lil scared because how quickly I was gaining on the 2 cars in front of me. At 120mph though very very smooth.

I'm pretty sure the C&D I read says that my car is drag limited to 145mph. Has anyone gone any faster? Or what have you gotten yours up to?

137mph+ in a 1989 SE 5spd, still had more in it, not bad for a stock 160hp car.
