175 on the autobahn in rented Carrera S. I've only had the Box S for a few months and hit about a 100 at the DE I did yesterday at Bondurant's west track. The instructors GT3 I rode in we hit 120 on the same straight.

I don't get too involved with top speeds on interstates or highways. That's not why I bought the car. I am a "twisty" guy. Out where I live there is a deserted rural uphill section of SR-22 that is about 5 miles long and super twisty. There are multiple yellow diamond signs showing the suggested speed limit as 15mph or 25mph. I did the route at an average of 64mph once by keeping it in 3rd and letting the engine (and gravity) serve as my brake. (and I stayed in my lane the entire time.)

176 going from Wiesbaden to Frankfurt am Main in my 911 Carrera. But, I got my doors blown off by a yellow Countach. He went by me like I was standing still.

Wow......that would be one of the moments of my life being blown away by a Countach.... dream car bar none for me and hope never to drive one cos I know the dream would be somewhat shatterered.
With regards to top speed... an indicated 155 in the box and 160+ in my old Subaru impreza

Boxter and Zed
I have not really pushed my 2000 2.7 Boxster much. Mostly like to hit the twisties hard in my area. I can leave it in 3rd and she will naturally brake great.
I was going up a two lane freeway on-ramp when a WRX passes me and honks. I get on it and was on his tail all the way up to shifting into 5th gear. Looked down and was doing 115. We both let off about then and his cute blonde girlfriend gave me a thumbs up!
In my 2003 ZZR1200 I have hit 175 on a deserted highway near Moab Utah. Bike had plenty left I did not!
Mike.

On the #505 just south of the #5 in California, no other traffic visible. A BMW of some kind passed me when I was doing about 80. I passed him back. He passed me again with a smile. I was sure I had more top end and stepped on it. About to go by him I looked down & saw 140 and thought 'they will take my car from me for good' and eased off. Now I wish I had risked it for another 15 seconds. It had plenty left and the speed was hardly noticeable in the way it rode.

125 mph per the speedo on I-95 in FL in my '01 S. Probably only 118-120 mph in reality. I plan to go higher at some point when the circumstances are "right". I almost always "accidentally" get into the 90's when getting on and up to speed on I-95.

120 on the speedo on I-44 between Lawton, OK and Wichita Falls, TX. So that was actually only 112-114. That was plenty for me.
In my impetuous youth, Between Tulsa and OKC heading south about 20 years ago, I estimated 140mph in my Chevy Caprice. Used to drive it between Lawton, OK and Chicago all the time so I threw a 2.56 rear axle in it along with a 22 gallon gas tank.
I was so stupid back in the day. Had the cruise set at about 120 rolling through Illinois for about an hour. So stupid.

Ha, 140 in a Caprice has to be infinitely more crazy than 120 in a Boxster, especially 20 years ago.
