The fastest car I had was a MB SL with a V-12 that would do about 150+ MPH. However, those speeds were not recommended because tires, at the time, could not handle that kind of force.

I’ve a few Lexus LS models, each of which would do 150mph because I did that in every one, but they all got light & floaty at speed, so I do not recommend it. Anytime I push them all I could think of was tires, tires, tires. I had a Jaguar XJS V-12 back in the day and all it would do was a bit over 140 (the thing was north of 4000 lbs. and aero dynamics of a brick) and all I could think of when topping it out was brakes, brakes, brakes because they were pitiful. Made you want to lean out and drag something.
