Fastest i've taken my 300D Turbo is 95 mph i think...actually i got up to 100mph once but only for about 30 seconds, had to slow due to traffic.
I have a turbo, but you see, I'm not rich like the rest of you speed demons, you all can get speeding tickets and such and brush them off like dust off of your shoulder. Me on the other hand, I like to keep my money. I hardly go above 70 in the city, 75-85 cruising on the open highway. HPD, the Harris County Constable, and the Texas Department of Public safety sure would like to get a hold of some of my bucks for speeding, but nope.
