About 120 in a old retired Nascar stocker. Did 8 laps at Pikes Peak International Raceway with Rusty Wallace Race Experience. It was a blast, but over way too fast
55 mph on a road bicycle behind a semi on a highway outside of Lake Havasu City, AZ. A really stupid stunt because you have to stay between 2-5 feet off the rear bumper. Once I lost the draft the bike got crazy squirrelly.
150 mph in a 125hp, 2-seat aircraft, straight and level off the coast of San Diego

I must be one of the most boring people in the world. To the best of my knowledge I've never topped 100 mph. I've done 90+ while passing on the Interstate, but it just never appealed to me to push it beyond that.

Around 150 MPH on Autobahn, the VW never felt the speed. At that speed I had BMW and Mercedes passing me like I was stopped...

I finally got into an M5 w/ comp package @ 575hp this weekend. But it was twisties on a country road. I sure did get up to 70mph in a hurry though.

I drove about 82 in a 2008 Honda Accord between Nashville and Cookeville, TN.

I've ridden in cars going over 100 mph before. I once was in a Lexus at 90 mph on a back road in the dark. That was awesome.
