Mid 130MPH territory for me; I don't watch the speedo so I couldn't say for sure; could be a little more but I know the car still has more in her when I get off the throttle.
We're fortunate enough in the Chicagoland area to have several good tracks nearby to really enjoy these cars as they were meant to be driven, but my Boxster doesn't have the horsepower to top out, even on Road America's mile long straightaway...
My only 'gripe' would be the brakes. While they are definitely superb for street use, I plan to upgrade them at some point for better consistency on the track.

I read this post a few years ago but didn't have it in me to push it to the limits on American roads. Then I moved to Germany. The other day it went up to 300 kph (186 mph). The needle was pegged, but that's what the digital speedo indicated.
