My 132 in a '76 Camaro (back in '78 when I was young and stupid) was confirmed by four units of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. How's THAT for authentication?
mine is off 3mph at 80 for sure..

My speedo read 183mph on my stock Hayabusa. It could have gone faster as the the restricter has been bypassed. Tracks are fun!

Somewhere between 100-200+ in or on everything I've owned. We are talking track, right!

I was on the throughway today and on the 10 lane divided hioghway revved up to get over to the fast lane. looked down and noticed how easily I got up to 100 mph before immediately slowing back down to 85. The 65 mph speed limit is archaic in some places, that area should easily be 75
