There are a few threads on this topic floating around. But since this one is already 2 pages deep I might as well add on to it. 160mph in an auto SC300. Im never doing it again and I dont recommend that anyone do it either. Especially out on public roadways.

The fastest ive driven in my sc was 145+. Two lane divided highway. Stopped watching the speedo at 145 & was coming up on 3 cars in the right lane. I hugged the far left shoulder and ripped by them then had to slow for a curve right after. I was going slightly down hill out of the mountains at night between nashville and memphis between 3-5am. Set the cruise at 100 coming out of nashville and ripped up to 130-~150ish several times when I could see the road was straight. Love the SC!!!
