Mine was in an A4 rental in Germany a few years ago at 210 km/hr (130mph)

Before that was a little scary: Senior in High School (1976) in a convertible (top down) 1971 Oldsmobile 442. You guys have heard the song - yes it had a 455ci "Rocket" engine......4 people in the car going 125mph on I-95 near Bridgeport, CT!! This was a smokin' car!!

LOL, I'm scared of topping 80mph around there now cause the pavement quality is so bad

I posted a thread similiar to this about a year, or so, ago... MY PB is/was an indicated 282Kmph in my (then) 1993 Opel Calibra Turbo (triple Black, tinted, bone-stsock), prety much any time I wanted, while I owned it, between the years of 1996 and 2000. For thos that aren't familiar, the "Turbo" Calibra was a 2.0l, 16v, DOHC, 6-speed, AWD, 205ps (approx 215hp), 189tq, gem produced by OpelAG from about 1990-1999, I think. Unless your car said "Porsche" AND "Turbo" you were subject to being pwned, BY ME, if you cruised central W. Germany between 1996 and 2000...

Roughly 177/8mph, for those unab;e to convert km to m...
Remember them well! My dad had the Vauxhall Cavalier (Opel Ascona) with the same running gear. Four door saloon instead of the Calibra's two door coupe. Thief magnet though, so he had to get rid of it. A sixty year old bloke fighting off car thieves outside the office is not a good thing.

I usually drive like an old woman but my personal best is probably around the 130 mark. This usually only happens when I'm having the map tweaked and my tuner is sitting next to me with a laptop going 'More...more...more...more...' until I bottle it

I'm a wimp. I had my '98 Saturn up to 85 or so, and my A4 up to 90 for a brief period. But I've only had the A4 a week or so, and it is capable of so much more than the Saturn. I have to get the Q-rated snow tires off it before I attempt any more speed records. That and I don't want to lose my license...
