Except for once to 120, I don't think I've been above 90. Too much time autox'ing and driving in the hills. Now, my R1, that was somewhere north of 180...

I did 155 too, the car seemed a little unstable during cornering really fast though ( around 120-130 ish on a long left hand constant radius positive camber sweeper) It maybe the tires that it came with...

158 on Interstate 385 in SC. At about 140 wind starts rushing back under the convertible top. It's an interesting aerodynamic phenomena. This test drive was at 3:00 am and was highway patrol supervised.

270 something km/hr (168+ mph), for maybe 10 seconds, max. Could have been .5 seconds for all I know. Autobahn, Baby, completely legal!!!!! Got the speedo set to metric so after 200 I'm watching the hud. The Europeans get a speedo that goes to 300.

I once had a DREAM that I was traveling in a lonely desert road @ about 160 for a short time.

Sorry, probably a dumb question, but what is the purpose of posting "in before the lock" as I assume that is what IB4TL stands for...?
