Not been out of the country in the scooby yet so only had about 115ish on the back straight at Anglesey circuit out of it.
Got this out of my old DC5 before i got scared and lifted off on my trip to the 'ring a couple of years ago.

152mph, two up and a loaded boot in my 95 classic. Thought the scoop was going to rip the bonnet off the amount it was moving!
125mph in my Brabus Smart Roadster and 132mph in my Leon Cupra R.
I got pulled in my Leon when I was slowing down from that 'test', 2am on Sunday morning.
That was the day I decided not to bother testing vmax in my cars anymore.

Indicated 140 on my STI03 on the autobahn in 2005..... didn't want to push it over that... it wasn't feeling great to be honest.
Same trip went in a German guy's BMW E39 M5.... he was cruising at 140mph and it felt like it would do it all day long.
I guess that's why one costs three times as much as the other!

I've had an indicated 165 out of the R8 (On a private race track) and it was still pulling hard.
Car was rock solid. Only slowed down because of traffic....... errr I mean other track users.

its one thing to do it in a car, but to do it on a bike is a total different rush altogether, I don't think I have felt the same adrenalin junkie rush in a car, unless the driver is a complete twàt and almost puts you in a ditch
Strangely enough, all the cars I've gone quick in were my first (crap cars). Not really a fan of high speeds on the road at all now. I probably only had my Impreza at 135 ish, which I managed from a 1.8 Focus a year or so earlier. Have never really tried with anything that quick.
Guy said it rarely gets an outing as it just drinks the stuff.
Did see a very nice mk1 escort with cossie running gear that was nice, pushing circa 500hp but his box was having none of it.
Speaking of challenge stradale, yeah that's what i was chasing, bit nippy but not that much of a difference if im honest.
But they sound incredible at full chat.

It was lifting the front wheel at 140 plus absolutely mental bike, i'd love to own one, but think i'd better not.
was in germany.My 04 blob would go off the clock, fastest constant speed was 146 in germany a few years back in my lexus IS200, the beemer in front was all over the place skipping and drifting till he sensibly moved over and slowed down, but lexy was planted, miss that car, was a good all rounder.
Off the clock in my type r at donny but power fc said 126.

I'm a grown up now with a 5yr old son, so i don't do stuff like that any more.
