Just recently i went to 30-130 day at RAF Marham where you could keep your throttle planted to get your top speed, and i was gob smacked, at how fast some of the skylines were going nearly 200mph with a 40mph headwind. so how fast have you gone? and in what?

I done 170mph in a farmer's field once. though I was in a crash landing plane at the time...
Fastest in a car about 130mph, not a lot really, hoping that will change this summer though

Me driving: 115 or so in the Mini - not very fast at all! (Bedford)
Passenger: probably 130 or so in a porker, same straight so i assume we'd get to faster than my car made!!!

maybe on the speedo but without some serious mods I'd be surprised if your real speed was that high.

went off the clock in corsa..
was over 140 leptons (140 was max indicated but went off the clock lol) but it was probably more like 125 leptons.. the private hill helped me a little on the very long private road I was driving on tongue out

also indicated 145+ leptons in a mondeo and someone was still pulling away from me lol

150-160 in a 911 turbo on a runway.

Only glanced at the speedo as I was just starting to slow down so cant be quite sure.

Indicated 165mph in my old bog standard Evo 6 (very long runway) and scarey at that speed, thought it was going to undress itself (speedo was quite accurate confirmed by testing it afterwards with GPS).
Indicated 155mph in my old E34 M5 and it was as smooth as silk and still pulling (shorter runway).

Apparently 130mph on the back straight at Bedford in my Z3M, I wasn't looking at the speedo.

About 6800rpm. Geared to 206mph at 7500rpm in 5th. Not so much a scream as a roar!!!
