120 on HWY 99, coming back from Lake Tahoe. And after getting it back to legal speed, there was a speed trap 1 mile ahead.
That was close [sm=bustedsign.gif] almost!

135 through Craters Of The Moon Id, it was raining at the time. My 98 rag top still handled like a dream. Got a little wet on the inside due to the seals around the side windows leaking but a true Vette experiance none the less.

On the highway (after making a safety check drive by first), maybe up to 155 on Sunday mornings as when we test its 0 - 150 time, etc.. On a track like Maxton, I've gone about 165, and my son has had it up to about 180+.

As to my Porsche, it's never been over 105.

145 mph and it was very smooth getting there. Started at 80 mph stepped on it. Crusing at 120 mph Then stepped on it again. Felt good to feel the power put me back in the seat a little. Not bad for a totally stock 04 coupe.

Think I have only been up to 120...and I'm not usually a fast driver but I was following somebody else going to a car show and I had to keep up with him.
