Q:
I have 6 points and a £350 fine to proove my 406 can do 96mph while braking as hard as i could, does that count?
yep, goldstar for you!
Woo!
A:
Speedo only reads to 140 and was past that. Other members GPS was reading 143 when I passed him (on track) in my mk2 20vt. Guessing 147-148ish.
A:
142mph ,"at times exceeding 150mph", according to the cops.... lol. No Mot, No tax. Invalid insurance. Points come off my license in about 3 months time.......

Get to a track day and get it out your system! I find I drive much more leisurely now that I do regular events. Don't feel the need to show how fast my car is on the public road any more.
A:
^ they know who they are.
As a test of reasonable validity, id suggest these criteria :
1. Statement about cars speed alone : Not worth a jot
2. Statement guarenteed by calibrated GPS: Mostly convincing
3. Certified printout or policegun(possibly): Fully believable.
4. data logger + some maths ?

135mph flat-out on clock in a caterham r500 superlight last weekend at bedford autodrome...
The radical i went in for two laps felt faster but the digi speedo only read out 115
A:
120mph speedo - 1991 Range Rover Classic Vogue SE 3.9 V8 (Driver)
140mph speedo (pulling like a train and bottled it) - 1998 Daimler V8 4.0 (Driver)
The Daimler was unbelieveable, because it was still so calm, and it was sitting at 4,200rpm with a 7K redline, beautifully refined car.
Range Rover was funny, in a rush to get home at 1.30am, and passed a very annoyed BMW 3 series driver, who then charged up and sat behind me till i pulled off the "private test track". Takes forever to get the bugger wound up, but once you get it going, it actually shifts along for a house on wheels.
:D
A:
Whatever 7k rpm in a MK2 valver is in 5th gear is the fastest I've driven a car.

Lol, used to shake a bit, but I've had new track rod ends, new wheels which got balanced, alignment, panhard rod bushes etc, and it's pretty solid now! Sounds the business :D
