I think i beat you all. My dad bought his BMW M6 over in Germany and we toped out at 190 on the autobahn. Scary a$$ $hit. Never again we'll go that fast. But in the truck i've only done 85. I'm still getting used to the power.

I had my Mustang 6cyl convertible up to probably 130 or so once. I topped out the needle and kept going a bit. I found a stretch of highway out in West VA somewhere that was totally empty, no exits or on ramps, guard rails down both sides, slightly downhill, perfectly straight, and recently paved. It was so straight you could see for like miles down this thing. So I decided to see what that little 6 cyl was worth. Going that fast with the top down is crazy windy. I slowed down a bit when the car started to dance a little. I could have probably gotten a little more out of her if the top had been up because the wind wouldn't have had such a weird impact on handling.
