I buried the 160 MPH speedo in my old tuned 335xi so who knows how fast I actually got that thing up to.

176 MPH in the Hellcat.

Not on public roads.

I still want one. I test drove one when new, but went with my 1st Mazdaspeed6 instead. No regrets on the MS6 as I bought a 2nd after getting rid of the 1st. Sadly, it seems like all the used ones for sale are beat to death or lol overpriced.

Seems like it's the same with the STi. It would make the perfect winter DD IMO.

I miss the hell out of mine. Just 36K on the clock when I sold it, but it had to be done for this...

Was able to hit 166 on the long straight at Road Atlanta in the Vette but a few too many times doing that I ran off after I cooked the brakes.

I think what's more impressive is my mid-weekly 100 mph cruises across Texas and still being ticket free for nearly 10 years.

Takes less balls on a bike because it happens so fast. Yes, the sense of speed is greater on a bike, I've been over 160 there as well, but it happened so fast I didn't even have time to get worried about it.

Not too fast by comparison. In my 2004 ZHP 115 mph on a back country road in Texas. Didn’t maintain it too very long.
