In Deerfield north of Chicago, if you are traveling north on 294 take the first Deerfield Rd exit. It's a half mile long, single lane tunnel that goes under Hwy 41 then comes out and up a hill to the stoplight on Deerfield Rd. If you are traveling 75 mph on 294 and take the tunnel and gun it, you can get up over 100mph with no cars next to you, no wind or water, and cops can't see you. You take your foot off the gas as you come up the hill and don't need to brake too hard to stop by the time you get to the top of the ramp.

Been in a car doing between 130-150 (NASCAR ride along), that's just scary. The driver was Brian Keselowski, brother of Brad who just a few days later would win the Sprint Cup Series.
Got a 1998 Volvo 850GL to about 120 coming down a mountain on the VA/WVA border, put it on cruise control.
Took my stock Mini Cooper to 115-120 on a long straight stretch just to see if she'd do it.

There's about a half mile stretch at the end of the highway near my house that is straight and flat. High embankments mean there's no deer or wild life on the road. I've got up to 115 in a 97 Buick Century and 02 Mercury sable. Got my 05 Stratus past 120 before it started shaking badly.

Yea if I'm driving, its fine but as a passenger, I get terrified because I'm not in control.

My first car was a '95 Integra and maxed it out at 123 one night on the freeway. I think I was even going down a slight incline and it wouldn't go any faster.
Since then, I've had 'faster' cars that I've hit 100+ in but I've still never topped 123.

107 in a Toyota Camry, still was speeding up but was in a somewhat metro area at the time and didn't push it. Never really tried since.
Over 100 with that same Camry with 200,000+ miles and busted struts which I'm pretty proud of. Although I was going downhill at the time.

Concerned? In the car I've never been worried for safety due to my own speed, but I don't want a ticket - so 15 over is usual my limit now, often it's 5-10 over.
On the bike, going 35+ mph is scary. (not motorcycle)

I voted 120-129MPH but not exactly sure how fast. Was in my first car, '71 Dodge Charger with HP 440 Magnum, out in the desert, flat straight road. Speedometer went to 120 and I went past that and pegged the needle.
On a side note, a few years back I was driving down the highway and saw some guy on motorcycle in my rear view mirror coming up alongside me in the passing lane. I was doing 74mph at the time (had cruise control on), and the guy on the bike went flying past me DOING A WHEELIE. He had to be doing at least 90. All I could think was that he had a death wish.

120+ in my Lexus GS300 many years ago..drunk on a lazy connecting ramp between two interstates after leaving a strip club at 2am. Dumbest thing I've ever done.
145-150 for a dozen laps in a nascar with Rusty Wallace riding shotgun at the Disney track in Orlando after Ping had rented out the facilities for an event during the PGA show about a decade ago.

I hit the 155mph governor in my modified G35 many years ago. I was racing a guy in a 911 (he clearly won) on an interstate at like 3 AM. Nobody was hurt, and nobody got a ticket...but it was a horrible horrible thing to do, and not something I'd ever do again. We passed a few cars along the way, and at that speed, a car going the 65 mph limit looks like it's standing still. There's just too many variables that come into play for me to ever do that. Such a bad idea.
I have a Porsche Cayman S now, and I've gotten it over 100 at times on wide-open interstate, but I would never ever drive that fast around another car. I'm not trying to sound responsible here. I'm addicted to going fast...I'm just much more aware of how it impacts others now.

I'm 1/2 Thai, and my now-wife/then-girlfriend and I were over visiting my family in Bangkok. My cousin's family is very wealthy, and his Dad collects cars. They had several BMW's, Mercedez, Porsche, and a few other supercars...I think he had a Ferrari at one point. My cousin typically drove an M3 BMW, but his Dad had just gotten a Japan Spec GTR...He let my cousin take it out when we went to a rooftop club in downtown Bangkok. On the way back from the club, my cousin went down some relatively open (no traffic) but narrow road in town and just slammed the gas. I nearly #### myself. I don't know how fast we actually got up to, but we only had about 1/2 a mile to get to speed and back. It FELT like we were going 130 MPH or so IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN. I was sure some kid was going to wander out from between the parked cars and we were going to splatter him.
I'll say with great certainty that the GTR had the scariest acceleration of any car I've ever been in.

Why is under 80 an option? I think my third thought after I got my license was "I wonder how fast I can drive my dad's car."

About 122 in my 4Runner a few weeks ago on a back road...felt like I was doing 90. Smoooooth. It still had some room to go but I started getting worried some hick would pull out of their farms driveway and I'd die in a fiery heap of twisted metal, fiberglass, livestock and cans of Skoal.

135 in a BMW 335i on a closed road in AZ. The car had room left, easily, I was at my limit.

Probably the dumbest thing I ever did was ride on a motorcycle with my friend when I was 16. We rode over to a friends house just to hang out and drank a few beers. One the way back home my friend wanted to stress test all 1100 cc's. We hit about 110-120 in a very short period of time. No helmut, of course.
Also got up to 110 mph in my 1972 Lincoln Continental once too. Could have gone faster but a blade flew off the radiator fan (insert hhhwwwuuuppffff noise).
