On the way home from the dealer the thruway was wide open with not a single other car in sight and my now girlfriend (then not) said "you have to hit a hundred at least once." 
I only managed 110 before I decided I would like to keep my license long enough to drive it a second time. Really makes you appreciate the machine though; I was pretty light on the accelerator in sixth and I could tell she definitely wanted to go faster.

Half an hour after I dropped my ladyfriend off I ran her up to 120 (it happens too quick in even bone stock cars) I had put about a hundred miles on the car at highway speeds by then.
I just wanted to let her stretch out a little and over shot the mark watching the road ahead and not the HUD. It took a couple of months to work up to the 150 mark and I'd like to see the 160-165 but that's going to take a new set of tires.

IBTL as well!
I can neither confirm nor deny that I might have gone into triple digits about a month after delivery.
Certainly not a habit...I have a few stories of foolishness from my 20s that didn't end well for the cars I was driving. Also have a few of the same stories where I had my fun and got away with it.
Maybe some day I will get out to Bonneville and experience the true capabilities of my car...
