Did ~255kph once over 20 years ago for about 30 minutes in, of all things, a tuned up first generation Isuzu Impulse (aka Piazza) [0] at 2AM on I-5 heading south out of the SF Bay.
Blew up the turbo though, and had to limp it another 2 hours to get to my destination. I also got to learn how to replace the turbo and weld the manifold, since I'd cracked it.
Still, amazing memory. Scary as heck, and to this day I'm surprised I didn't die.
