I've hit 120 in the CLS before, but I won't go over that on public highways.

My last car, a 94 Tbird V8, was electronically limited to 110mph... where the CLS has a cutoff of 149mph (or so).

130+ in my GTP...although its kind of hard to tell because my gauges only read up to 115, but I've pinned the needle itself well past that, and it was still pulling.

181 in my civic racing a S/C-NOS M3 Evolution.. this was in 1996 - we used his speedo to determine how fast as mine was pointing straight down and going back towards 0!

Civic - build B20C motor... LS tranny... 5th gear 9.2K RPMs

17x in my NSX

14x in my CL (gets there the quickest! )
