137 on a country 2-lane road just outside the city limits at 2 AM in my 67 Vette vert MANY years ago.

Same 137 in a 68 Cadillac Coupe DeVille on the same road a couple of years later at 4 AM.

Only 110 in one of my C6s during the day on the interstate.

135....and it felt like things were happening VERY fast. No room for error at those speeds.

probably 110, at a road course, I have gone faster in my Legacy GT but that's only because it's more disposable to me

I’ve seen 180 and it scared the beejesus out of me. Its not too bad looking forward, but I sailed under a bridge on I65, looked in my rear view mirror and it took my breath away at how fast that bridge got small !

140 on a really long lonely highway in New Mexico. A bit of shake made me back off. New suspension and tires are getting installed, Try again??? Maybe.

One-forty something for both the Verts. Only about one-twenty-ish for the Z06. Not sure why I never pushed it.
