Don't really know the top speed on my cars yet, wife said I needed to get life insurance before finding out.

Stock '83S.....just shy of 140, but I know the speedo is a bit optimistic, I estimate 135.

Still had some left though I am confident 145 is attainable. SOON

To put Marc's speed into perspective,
Imagine you are ripping along a Nevada highway doing 140mph in your shark.
His car would have passed you as if you were stopped and he was doing 70mph!!!!

Holy Crap!
That's all I can say........

a little over 150 but took a while to get there but easily 120s in 4th. off the line or out of sharp turns is the most fun.

Lets see

147 in my 928, 10 hours after I bought it (and this year 120 with a cop losing ground fast in my rear view)

Other personal records: 160 in my 350Z , 175 on a ZX-10, 160 knots in a Cessna doing a dive.

Once I hit 130+ the permagrin phenomina starts to happen

120 on the back straight of Watkins Glen. Thats redline in 4th gear. Someday when I can get thru the 'Esses in 4th gear at WOT I'll grab 5th and see where that takes me. The nut behind the steering wheel needs adjusting before that happens though.

75 taking it home. Personal record, 104 in a Ford Festiva. (Yes, even the cop was surprised.)
