I had a chipped and modified twinturbo charged Japanese sports car, about 400+ hp. It was very aerodynamic as well, probably capable of nearly 185+ mph. Never hit that mark, but went faster in that car than I should have a few times, faster than the posted speed in this article, that's for sure.

I was once driving down US27 in Florida, at night, doin 110, when I noticed a patrol car waiting in the weeds that night. I could have kept going and probably lost him, but I decided to play it cool. I slowed considerably, and waited for the car to catch up, which seemed to take an awfully long time. I pulled over when asked.

The officer was very formal, polite, asked if I was carrying any drugs, asked if he could inspect the vehicle..

Long story short, they were on the lookout for drug runners running drugs across the state of Florida that night, and I wasn't what/who they were looking for. He gave me a verbal warning to slow down, and let me go w/o a ticket.

Fastest I have ever gone on the ground was on the back straight of the original Road Atlanta - in a race prepped twin turbo RX-7. Just got to 186 before I had to set up for the dip and turn 10.

At Atlanta Motor Speedway in a chipped Andretti car I did a bunch of laps +/- 165-170. Cockpit wasn’t really set for someone my size and the frame was really biting into me.

Wasn’t my car at Road Atlanta but it was my track and knew I had to get on the Brembo’s right away.

Fastest ever on the street is still classified ;-)

Was it a Dodge Stealth RTTT Twin Turbo or a Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR4? I had the privlege of owning an un modified show room 7 time “Best of Show” winning Fire Storm Red 1993 Dodge Stealth RTTT for 9 years until it got destroyed in a freak hail storm (golf balls and tennis balls made of ice falling from the sky fo 20 minutes). It was the finest, best handling, most fun car I have ever owned. It put a smile on my face every time I got behind the wheel. All wheel drive, all wheel steering above 30 MPH, 0 to 60 in 5.7 seconds. 27mpg crusing at 75MPH and a solid 19MPG around town. Rumor has it that it got “aired out” several times late at night up to 148 1/2 MPH and was rock solid glued to the road with plenty more to go but the driver was running out of road It had 63k miles on it and had never been driven in rain or snow when the fluke hail storm struck in NH of all places. Miss it nearly every day
