Got up to 125 on my way from Miami to New Orleans. I'm not that scared of something going wrong as much as going directly to jail, not passing go and not collecting $200.
But, I was in the passenger seat of my cousin's Ferrari F-355 Syder. He got it up to about 165. After that whole experience, I don't think I like changing myself and washing off ****. So, me wanting a ferrari is no longer.

Not saying where, not saying when but got to the point where the GS 400 would not go any faster. How fast is that really, I don't know
Fastest I've driven, again - not saying where or when: well in excess of 160 in heavily modded 89 Supra Turbo (I owned it from 89-94 and, at the time, was an HKS dealer) (speedo could only indicate speed of 160 and needle went past that) and in 94 Corvette Convertible (owned from 94-97).

155 with it wanting to go more, but due to the stupid ECU speed limiter couldn't 
. Could feel it can do more VERY easily. That was the 2nd time I drove the car, with 4 people in the car on the way home. Stable as a train on rails. No hint of ANY loss of control, except the car did lean a little around curves doing that speed but was still VERY nicely handled. Can't imagine what it'll be like with the 19's and Tein Flex coilovers.

142 @ 3am on I-95, going from New Haven, Ct to Bridgeport, on my 99gs4 Shoo, that was friggin' fun. The car didn't hesitate at all. Engine sounded like it was doing 50. NO WHANNNNGGGG , nothing. just smooth like butter. It easily could go more, but I skerd. I already got a $260 ticket for going 110 on the NJ Turnpike. Yeah, um, don't go that fast in NJ. Fortunately the trooper gave me a break and wrote 100 even, otherwise that was going to be a court date for wreckless driving and endangering peoples' lives. I still go fast when I can. Just keep an eye way ahead along the shoulder for cops. : ) HEH HEH HEH!
