140mph (on Hanger straight at Silverstone) ;)

Not sure many ppl will openly post what speeds they achieved on a public road, you never know who is reading this. ( 60 unregistered users area reading this forum at present).

300kph on the Autobahn so approx 186mph but I reckon that the speedo at that speed is about 10% out so 168mph at 7800 rpm in 6th.

77mph on the UK's motorways and dual carriageway.

On the public roads.......... 90mph (at least that's what I got the 3 points for :oops: )

On the Lavant Straight at Goodwood........ about 140mph before I chickened out & went for the brakes!
