171MPH (Forgot to say that was down hanger straight in the back of Jordan's twin seat F1 car about 10 years ago ) Use to work a Silverstone and got 3 lap's.

My own car, about 130 but going to a run way on the 8th of march to see how far it will go?

130mph, but that was before I fixed the boost solenoid.

I once saw an indicated 153 on my old cavalier, had an electronic speedo so shouldn't have been too far out.

167mph in germany in my first scoob, that was at 7k rpm in 5th behind another car
I dont really want to do that sort of speed again, the world passes you at an extrodinarily quick rate
155mph in my spec c and she was still pulling from about 100mph in 6th(runway )
