I've gotten a saab turbo up to 150, was proud of it at the time, still am, but I couldn't live with myself if I injured someone out of my bad judgment. Am now an EMT, drive an ambulance for a living, yay speeding legally FTW!!! Also I help people through my speeding so it's a win win. Only bad part is it's a Big Truck. Meh I live with it.

I was able to hit 125 with a rb header and a kn in my N/A
in my turbo on the other hand.... hehe I would rather not say the top speed I hit. It did feel really stable though, and I had the 83 speedo maxed out with plenty peddle left.
both times the road was very open so save it

thoughts in a crazy man's head
I have to add to this thread.. I got pulled over less than a year ago around 2 am on my way home from work in my fb and this is how it went...
I was doing every bit of 80mph on a highway on the way to my home after work and cars were keeping up with me, night time highway travel everyone drives a bit faster.
I got off of that highway on to a less traveled highway, the last 6 mile stretch before my exit and a car was behind me from the other highway that exited with me. I didn't think anything of it and proceded to accelerate up to 110 hoping to lose the guy behind me. I drove that fast for about 4 miles until i noticed my oil pressure dropped and I got over into the slow lane and pulled over to the side of the road, as I did that the car that was riding my *** turned on his red and blue lights and pulled over with me and this is what happened after that.
Police: Son, you know you were doing 110mph
Me: UUUHHHH.......yes
Police: Why were you going to fast?
Me: It's 2 am, no one is on the roads and I wanted to have some fun!
Police: You know if you lost control of your car you could kill yourself or possible others?
Me: ...Oh!
Police: Look son! I'm on my way home, I can have your car impounded and throw you in jaie for going over 100mph but that would take about 2 hours and I dont want to spend the next 2 hours here with you so i'm going to let you off with a verbal warning.
Me: Yes sir!
Police: Why did you pull over anyhow?
Me: I lost oil pressure and had to get off the road before I blew it up.
Police: Oh, ok. Well be safe and drive slow the rest of the way home, and If i catch you out here doing this again i'll throw you in jail
Me: Ok sir...
I have yet to go over 100 mph since that day.
