I hit 126 in my Talon before I hit a bump, which made me feel like I was going airborne. Needless to say I slowed down very fast, and I have never broke 100 since then (3 yrs. ago).
Only about 200kph. It can go quite a lot faster than that but I haven't done it yet. I put some full coilovers on this year though to replace the busted old suspension, so I might give it a try some time

I was driving 115 mph in a rental car through parts of Wyoming and Idaho this summer. It was cool because nobody else was on the road so I was videotaping the speedometer with my right hand as I was driving and saying, "Uh oh, I guess I'm going too fast, huh mom?" I haven't shown her the video yet, but suspect that she won't think it was as cute as I did.
I may have gone a little faster at some point when I was much younger, but I can't remember anything in particular. At 115 mph on a well paved highway in the middle of nowhere, it felt oddly safe.
I'm sure I'll have some interesting stories to tell when I get my Ariel Atom! The top speed of the 245hp Atom (which is the one I'm getting rather than the 300hp version) is 148 mph, which isn't all that high, but it's the acceleration and handling on corners that sets the little guy apart. This time my video camera will be professionally mounted behind me somewhere so I can keep both hands and eyes on the road.
About 168 mph in an Audi A8 in Germany. You really tend to forget how fast you really go in cars like that as it feels much slower - unfortunately it wasn't mine though... (which will only do about 112 mph)
Fastest I've ever gone is 120 mph down hill on a straight stretch of desert freeway in my Honda Insight! Man that was scary. Other than that one time, fastest I've ever been is about 85 mph.
