I assume you are asking how fast we have driven our own car? I hope 155 was on a track....

Fastest was a clear empty stretch of 95 in North Carolina last year. Hit 144 according to my GPS then got scared and went back to normal 80mph driving

I've never been on a track. Highway driving is strictly that.

I've hit ~85 mph in a parking lot autocrossing. I rarely go into 3rd gear, so it was pretty fast.

My maximum speed on my M was exactly the same speed as in my old 1970 Mustang Fastback and I was never so scared in my life (in the Mustang). The M was just casual driving that got out of hand and I was shocked at how easy it is.

To me, the fun is more about accelerating and going round the bends "too" fast than flat-out speed.


... though I'm not going to try to claim that I adhere to the posted speed limit all the time
