120-ish.
I don't push it at night. You can't see cops.
Tonight, I was driving home, other cars spaced far apart. My usual strategy here is to never be the fastest guy on the road (second-fastest :angel: ), stay out of the fast lane, pick a lane where I'm not near anyone else, and don't pass in an adjacent lane at a high difference in speed.
I'm driving along at 75 in the second lane, my mirror dimmed, and I see a headlight and front corner marker go by, and guess it's a prev-gen Mustang. The Mustang passes me, probably going 85.
About 15 seconds later, another set of headlights passes my window, and it's a CHP cruiser, making the same speed. I wait for the cruiser to get out of headlight range, then speed up to tail the cop and see what his hurry is. I start to lose him, cause he's picking up speed, and I don't want to be close enough for pacing shenanigans, but eventually, two exits down, he got his Mustang.
Cool cop, at least for me. :eeps: :angel:

120mph on the autobahn
110 mph on the 91 freeway.
It was 6:00 am on a Sunday morning. I had just finished the obligatory 1,000 break-in period, so I was not watching my speed as carefully as I should had been. I was just crusing along and happend to look down at the dash and saw the speed. :thumbup:

I did
145+ on the way to Vegas. This just after my rod-bearings had been replaced. So much for the break-in period. At that speed, you kinda have to realize that if you see a cop, you're better off not stopping.

180 MPH Pamona
155.
About 140 on the Italiad Autostrade. Would have gone faster if it weren't for the darn break in period. Still - fun fun !!!
Up to 130 onct :bigpimp: It's easy for me to exceed 100 passing someone, but usually a little below 80 keeps me out of trouble here in Northern LaLa Land . AND, AND - I saw another M3 in El Cerrito this past week!! A silver coupe.
On public streets... not sufficiently fast to put other families at unecessary risks
On the track, 80 or 90 at NHIS with a 318i and about the same at LimeRock, but track speed is about lap times (how fast you go on the turns) not over all bonneville salt flats all out drag-limited type speed.

115 mph on stretch of the north 5 freeway passing San Onofre. :eeps:
145 in a delimited E36 325i, fairly soon after I got my license and was really dumb.
145-150 in my M3 at the track.
145-150 in my M3 at the track.
The speedo read 157, so I must've been doing at least 80.
I see you're in Hayward now...you'll be seeing lots of M3s around here.

Curiously, not all that many. About what I was used to seing in the D/FW area: Lotsa 3's some 5's and a 7er or two. Not many Z3's or 4's.

Quite true. Whether you stop or not, the result won't make much difference.
For me, 140 to Vegas. Felt like 120.
