Fastest ever driven on 4 wheels? 160mph on the back straight at Riverside Raceway in 1974 in a full race Camaro GT. (very scary)

Fastest ever in my Boxster? 95mph at Streets of Willow racetrack. (The car was as calm and composed as if I was going 40)

Fastest ever in my Boxster on a public highway? maybe 80?? I regularly have hot rod Hondas and SUV's blow by me in traffic at 95mph+... I also see a lot of fatal rollovers. I want no part of either.

fastest I have gone is 135. the car feels very confident but the front end feels light and so its scary.
