120 in 3 different cars and no tickets:
1987 Mazda Rx7
1986 Nissan pick-up truck
1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse

I've pushed my current car (2004 Mitsu Lancer sportback wagon) to about 100, but no higher.

Don't think I've really been over 95, can't remember. But I did go 50 mph in reverse in a Cadillac once. It was only later that I read somewhere that in reverse at speeds over 25 (plus/minus 5 mph, I can't remember the exact number) it becomes very, very easy to flip a car. Ahh youth....

Been a passenger in a Bandit Trans Am at 140+. No ticket. Kind of fun though...

110 on an empty overpass at night with total visibility.
No, no ticket.

My tickets (very few and far between) are always for something stupid like 66 in 60. I typically don't speed.

I pegged my '95 Celica a few times at the speed limiter - which was an indicated 120. Did it on US-101 going through the Coyote Valley and on I-680 going towards Milpitas. I drove that stretch of road so often and everyone drives fast, but I haven't pushed over 80 in years.. mainly to save on fuel.
