158 MPH. On my Civic. Yes, it was heavily modified. No, it wasn't street racing (kind of) but on a 2 mile desserted freeway in California.

There should be more to that question... Top speed or like in a drag race.

I've been 140ish mph as a passenger in a drag car, 1/4 mile
127 mph driving my old drag car, 1/4 mile
82 mph driving my boat (offshore style )
110 mph as a passenger in a boat (offshore style)
128 mph on a snowmobile, 1/4 mile
90ish on a snowmobile in the trails.
135 mph on the freeway , modded Shelby Charger
70ish on a motorcycle (4 stroke dirtbike)

~105mph: 1994 Chevrolet S10 (has limiter so that's as fast as it would go)

120mph: 1994 Nissan Altima (not going to say who it belonged to)

135mph: 1993 Mazda RX-7 (belonged to a friend)

Thanks for the research, I just didn't feel like searching. Besides another thread won't hurt us.

128 mph. In a turbocharged T-type Regal. (same car as the Grand National) There was more left in it, but decided against it. Not worth the risk when you have a wife and a baby waiting at home.

213 mph (verified by GPS) through Denver rush hour traffic in this highly modified Yugo.

pushing 140 mph on the autobahn...

fastest car I've ever driven is a 1967 Ford GT40... although I didn't drive it fast

not fast enough to impress a mississippi state trooper.
