I have Rogers 240D speed beat. I've been almost 100 MPH in my '84 Euro 240D. It was when it was young and strong.

I have been a touch past 150 MPH in my Vette.

But, the most fun to me is sustained high speed on the Autobahn. I was in a Ford Mondeo and an Audi A4 in Germany a few weeks ago. Running a sustained 207Kph in the A4, and 220 Kph in the Mondeo when you finally find a section with no traffic is a real kick. I think this is more of a kick than a short blast at 150 MPH. The sensations are incredible. It is amazing how soon you get accustomed to 100MPH being your slowed down cruise speed. It is also amazing how the sensation of speed is not linear. The difference in sensation is significant when going from 100MPH to 120 MPH, but going from 120MPH to 130MPH is amazing.

Fun thread,
