Where and what were you driving? (Darn Spyder can't get here soon enough!)

I did 200mph at Texas Motor Speedway in a retired Indy type car. It only cost me 300 $'s, so win/win.
Top street car speed was 156mph at COTA in a 991.2 GT3.

In my race car (981C w/ 3.8L X51) 157 MPH at the end of the long straight of the Sochi GP track. On the Autobahn in Germany, I did about 170 or so in an Audi RS6 a long time ago but truth be told I never really saw the point of driving that quick on a public road for no other reason. A lot of risk for not much excitement.

Hit 140 mph in my 981C GTS at end of straight away at Pacific Raceways in Washington. This was the speedometer, so don't know how fast I was actually going per GPS.

Laguna is a great track to ride/drive, but not for high speed. It has a great flow to it, but it's relatively short and tight. I could hit about 130 on my RSV4 before I hit the crest of the hill into T1 and that was it.

160 in my 991.2 GT3RS at Apex Motor Club. Long straight was open instead of the normal bus stop. They open it about once a month. Will take my ZR1 next time and see if I can beat it.

Legally, about a 140 mph in a Ford Mondeo station wagon on the autobahn. Good times.
