140MPH in a 1970 Datsun 240Z. Between Alamogordo and Los Cruces. Once.

I still have the car. It has different tags.

I did manage a radar ticket for 117 in a 35mph zone when I was 17. The cop wrote me for 19 over (to avoid an automatic reckless driving) and I paid the fine.

140 in a Jaguar Type E V-12 on the longest straight on GA 400, back in 1977.

It ran smooth as silk, and the faster you went the smoother the ride. If you didn't glance at the dial you'd never know you topped 100. That was one sweet ride . . . but a real gas hog.

152 MPH in a Camaro on an LA freeway. That is all I could get out of it. 165 MPH in a retired cup car at California Speedway. They had it rev limited, wish I could have gone faster.

My dad had one of those for a few years. I never had it over 120, since the front end was sort of loose by the time I drove it. He sold it around 1974, by which time 5 of us kids had abused it severely.
