Ferarri 360. Hit 8.5k revs in 6th, whatever speed that is
In the last two years or so I've also had the privilege of passengering in a 360CS, Noble M12, Ruf 996 and an Atom 300+.
Also driven an Evo 5 Gp.N Roger Clarke, Litchfield Type 20 and 25.

My old Scooby which did 192+ at Bruntingthorpe the same day Andy got 199!
I wasn't driving it that day though
Fastest I did in it was 173mph at Elvington - it showed approx 190mph on the clock!

Sat in a Ford Mustang Cobra Terminator 2003 , would of love to drive that car.. altough all that power to the rear wheels is hard to manage, was insane 509whp , later that night the guy that owns it drove into a small light pole because he lost control of it by only slightly touching the pedal in second gear, slided and straight into a pole, repairable tough, its being fixed now :]
I couldn't imagine the trhottle response, supercharger 4tw gotta love that whine

a 3speed 1982 gambella porsche bout 650bhp hit 160 down a piece of (private) road my 335bhp sti just hits 100 on. and a westfeild with sbd tunned 20xe vaux engine approx 255bhp felt stupidly quicker than it said on the speedo.

311 CDi fastest I've ever been 100 MPH (or just under) with a full load
I didn't drive it but a Gallardo SE (he said I could but I was scared) was the fastest thing I've ever been in. He floored it at a ton and before you knew what happened we were doing 175 MPH. Awesome piece of kit.
Previous to this my boss had :-
360
360 Spider
Maserati
355 F1
And in fairness the Gallardo is in another league to the above cars!!
Infact after I took him out in my RB5 WR he sold the Ferrari 360 spider as he (and I) thought my car was a bit quicker
