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.

200kph (125mph) on a long straight stretch of empty highway. Had the top down and the car started to feel light so I didn't go any faster. Frequently hit 160 kph when passing, especially if I am passing two or three semi's at a time.

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

135 in 4 different vehicles, mental governor I suppose. None of these was my DD Box I have had for 11years. Owners manual states top speed 165 & I figure the added 75 HP increased it to 170.
I think this one had a little left in it especially if not going uphill next time. :chicken:

It ran pretty smooth. It might be because the car was floating a little bit, but it never seemed to be out of control. Loved that car. 1987 Caprice Classic Brougham LS.
