Well I was heading up to my brothers' place at KY Lake and there is an area between Nashville and Paducah KY where there is basically no law enforcement. So I figured - what the heck - I have made this trip before and I figured "let's see what this little 4 cylinder 6 speed will do''

Got her up to 118 mph according to the speedometer. Pretty good for a 1.5 Honda :)

My first car - a 1968 Ford Mustang - 289 V-8 ttopped out at 96.

My buddy Garry had a Chevy Impala with a 396 that could do 110 - so I beat him with a Honda Fit - :)
 
When I worked for Ford we had a car we raced in the showroom stock class. It was a stock 87 GT Mustang that we chipped, topped out at 156 mph on shaved tires.

I had a 1991 notchback with a crate engine putting down about 320 to the wheels. I remember finding out that a suction on CB antenna won't stay on at 120mph...
