170+ on the way home from the ring last year.
You get some nice big gaps along the bonnet sides at that speed.

IIRC 142 in my old wagon @ TOTB a few years back
Saw 165 on the way down to the Bol d'Or on my GSXR750 then looked in my mirror to see my m8 on his 'Blade keeping pace 2 ft to the right of my rear wheel
The Bol was an absolute hoot -250,000 bikers all descending on the Paul Ricard Circuit for the weekend which meant for me (+ m8) over 200 miles fro Lyon down averaging 130 mph+ in & out the traffic as the police were just not bothered lol
Completely mad experience

Yea the beemer felt solid and well planted, but I would never do those speeds again. It absolutely scared the cr@p out of me, the car has had more mods done to it now and its meant to be even more stupid.

Thats insane
I did 155mph in my brothers old civic - Well it went off the clock around then. This was in his old vti about 6 year ago.
The scooby felt ok an it seemed like it had a bit of go left as it wasnt that closed to going into the red
