120 in a stock Triumph TR7 - like breaking the sound barrier, rattled like hell until 115, then smooth as silk.

155 on my namesake. Still smooth as silk, and with more to go.

A memories... Had Bertone X9 that I got up to about 120 once. Don’t know for sure because the speedo was pegged at 140 but I know for sure I wasn’t doing 140. That that mid engine was about to explode!
