Ok, let's hear it people. Give me the car model and speed when it happened. Don't worry. I'm not with the feds. It's just for.... surveys!

Me first:

99 E-class at 94 mph (around 150km/h?). It was around 5 and a half years ago when I got my licence. Dad let me drive his car when we were going on a road trip, and on some highway he sudddenly told me to go as fast as the car could! It was exciting.

How about you?

GS 450h @ 142mph. LOTS of drag at that speed.

90mph for few sec.

99 mph.

Because 100 mph is a felony in Cali. And I will lose my PT license if I get caught.

However, in Arizona, I did pull off 125 on my motorcycle...

180 kmph(~112.5 mph) in my SC430, for about 10+ seconds on a straight & quiet stretch of highway early morning. Have done close to that once with my G35 coupe too for a few seconds . . . just to test the power of the cars

I know they can go faster, but my sensible side took over each time, & I decided that's enough ...

What's the main road from 40 to Meteor Crater?

I did 255kmh/160mph on highway 400 in Ontario in my Vette. This was last summer right before they made the penalties for driving 50km/h over the limit ridiculous (now they seize your car on the spot and fine you something like $2000)

I was trying to top out my car (apparently it does 186mph) but I ran out of road, you're covering ground VERY quickly at that speed. The car was rock solid though

The most dangerous part was, I didn't think one of my friends would believe me, so I got it on tape. I had my digital camera set to video mode and was holding it in one hand, while driving with the other. Did I mention my car is a stick shift?

I wasn't really putting anybody in danger because I did it at 4:30am on a weekday in the summer with hardly anything else on the road, but it was still pretty dangerous. I also drove the stretch of road I planned on doing it on once, turned around and went back, then turned around and finally did the run. I did that so I could make sure there were no obsticales, potholes, etc. in the road that could become deadly at 160mph. Regardless, I won't be doing that again anytime soon, but it was fun while it lasted

Who let you drive his 600hL to 105 mph ?
You never did as fast as that in your 460L ?

does that apply to all professional licenses? makes me wonder if ny has a similar law.

If you are licensed by the state for any profession, and you commit a felony (not a misdemeanor), you lose that license in that state.

That's why when you submit a work application, and it asks if you have ever committed a felony, it's a red flag for employers to note...

i should have been more specific with my original question. i was referring to that 100+ mph felony. i believe in ny, going 31+ over the speed limit just results in a heavy fine and 8 points off your license but not as serious as losing a professional license!
