Well, ok then. My fastest wheeled land based speed is ~220 MPH on the Paris-Strasbourg TGV. Our favorite mode of transport while we were living in Europe.

Same for me! TGV from Lyon to Paris and Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto.

It was many years ago, but 212 mph (est) while skydiving...

Fastest speed in my Boxster S was about 100 mph less than that.

139 mph on my way home from Wisconsin the day I purchased it. Never felt a car as controlled at speeds over 100 as the box. And man, that SOUND! Suddenly understood the p-car hype and was sold on them from that moment.

110 mph on California Highway 5. Subaru BRZ accelerated next to me so I followed him for a few miles for fun until I hit my exit.
