For a long time, the fastest that I've ever been was 110. That was when I was 16 and my Dad let me drive his '68 Camaro from Greenville IL up to Ontario Canada for a youth church camp. It was on some interstate highway up at the top of Indiana, I was cruising along side of a Corvette. We did it for quite a few miles.
Then a couple of years back I took our '01 Corvette up to 145. Since I was on a interstate highway, I was scared to go any faster then that... you just never know when somebody will pull out in front of you. I only got up to that speed and then slowed back down to 80 pretty quickly.

150 on my yamaha v-max with a passenger (we were late for a wedding and we took the bike and we were in wedding gear), interesting i had a limo company many years ago and i got my 50" streatch up to 130, took awhile though becouse the guys in the back were a bunch of gamblers and wanted to bet on how fast it would go fully loaded.

99' SS Camaro 155mph+ and all alone on the Kansas Turnpike one time when new. Car & Driver had just tested one, and claimed 162mph?? The car handled worse (kind of floaty), than my Hemi Challenger at speed, so I backed off early. Numerous rice bikes much faster but always with eyes glued to the road.
This is the kicker, the wife who actually drove the SS Camaro everyday, maxed it out racing a car on a deserted stretch of I-55 between Memphis and Cape Girardeau. About a month later, she points out a car on the street, and says "that's the car that I couldn't outrun". The car was a 98'-99' Viper GTS.
