I hit about 143-145 twice. I just couldn't get to the limiter worrying about cops, etc...you pick up speed pretty slow after 140. Maybe someday I'll get there.

110 seems to be my limit. Been there 3 times. Each time I was concerned about urine stains on the passenger seat.

135mph twice, need a lot of rroom to get up there

110mph used to be almost a daily event but I've been trying to
drive a little saner these days since I've got a baby on the way,
becoming a parent changes your perspective on stuff like this

to 110 in 3rd is no problem in this car

it's getting from 110 to 125ish that takes a while because
you've got to climb from about 4k back to that 5k+ sweet spot

Yo Cnatra.... the 6 speed does not have that problem...

I have to say I have banged the governer more times than I can count. I now know that you can cruise at 145 forever... Ie. a 115 mile trip has taken me 1 hour and 10 min from point A to B. Please note that this was done @ 3am on a road I know far too well. At this speed the car is stable. No worries except for black and whites..

Sustained 135 for about twenty minutes on the German autobahn; around 100 is normally my max. I don't want to run it into the ground over here

About 141 Mph on I-5 South for a duration of 20 minutes. The vehicle felt like it was floating and everything around was just a blur.

I dunno about this one. 20 min? That's a good 47 miles of road without getting caught. I'd be scared sh*tless even if I did hit for even a second!
