Hey what is the fastest sustained speed? You know like 2200 miles in 16 hours is 137 mph average (this is where the stories really turn to bull)
Mine would be 1300 miles in 16 hours that is 82 Mph. In all fairness though I drove through UT and there are so many cops there. Oh and I had to go through the gallatin valley in MT (well I can take that pretty fast in the audi, but there is always traffic)

Don't remember teh distance but, Bamberg to Rhein Main AB in 48minutes, but it was, like, 0400, so there wuz NOBODY on teh road.
Mannheim to Rhein Main AB in 42:06 during rush hour... (it was a bet... which I lost by .06 seconds, BTW) I DARE ANYBODY to better that time w/o exceeding the speed limit or passing on the right (the only two restrictions on the bet). It helped that a good portion of A67 isn't limited, per-se. My Calibra drank about 12 gallons of petrol making this 49 mile trip, FWIW.

Turbo's get THIRSTY when you live @ the redline, my friend. I may be off by a litre, or so, but, no, I mean 12 gallons. 3/4 of my 16 gallon tank went out the loud pipe in the back. AND I LOST!!! BY .06 SECONDS!!! That's what hurt the most.
