175 mph (maybe higher) in a NASCAR-prepared 1970 Plymounth Superbird. The best thrill of my life!

About 165 in a 77 Firebird with 2.73 gears. The windows started to implode at about 150. The car was all over the place.

The Supras really go 180? That's freakin' impressive.

Only 306 in the escudo? You know if you adjust the wings and spring rates on the escudo and make the front two wheels come off the ground, you can get close to 1,000 mph in it. Try it out at the test course.

172 MPH in a 1994 (I believe) Lanborghini Countach

Could have pulled more, but the V12 sounded like it was going to tear apart.

The hardest part was keeping the steering wheel straight when going over slight road imperfections.

Friend said he pulled 189 mph before he set his foot off the pedal.

I reckoned that moded Lambo was good for over 200 easy!

Italians don't play with speed.
