The Miura is one of my all-time favorite autos. That flat-12 sitting right behind the driver made one helluva beautiful noise. ....Capable of 190 mph, if I remember correctly.

My 130 mph was in a Porsche Carrera 4. I was cruising along at a very easy 90 mph when some a-hole in a Toyota Supra decided to tailgate me. Didn't pass me, just tailgated. We were the only two out there on a wide open road, so I decided to see if he could keep up. He quickly became a dot in my rearview mirrow, so after a minute of that I slowed back down to 90 ....and he behaved himself thereafter.

For a real high-speed treat, try dialing in at 135 on one of the old Mercedes 560 SEL's. If you're on an open highway, you have absolutely no feeling of speed whatsoever. Your only real indication is the speedometer (and maybe the Geo or two you smush along the way). It's like a high-speed baracalounger.
