I see 100 at least once a week, there is a section of divided highway near my house with great sight lines, and is perfect for the quick up and back.
I see 130+ multiple times per summer on a road near our cottage in NW Wisconsin, i run out of good road before i run out of hp. I have had the speedo buried on both the Aero and Viggen in western ND, where i go to really flog the cars with no traffic, great sight lines and cool temps on those early morning blasts.
Then there was the trip to western Montana the summer (96 i think) after the state changed the speed limit to "resonable and prudent", which in a modified 89 SPG meant 120+ all day long. Crappy mileage, but it sure was fun.
I also have a spot by our cottage where I can get the car off the ground, which I do at every opportunity, and my wife loves when we launch.
Around town I drive like an old person, slow and careful, but on certain roads, when nobody else is in sight, I put it to the metal.
