Around 130 - middle of the desert, no traffic, deer, etc.
I know this doesn't count but a fun picture, some time back on the Autobhan, (passenger took the picture) Again, long open road, no traffic, fenced to keep out animals.....

158 according to the sat-nav, 170mph on the speedo in my C2.
I had to back off because of a slight bend a mile down the road (autobahn).
It's amazing how quickly the car slows down when you back off at that speed.

I was stupid once. About 172 according to speedo until I backed down. Still pulling hard. I couldn't believe how quickly I got up that speed.
