Frong seat passenger going about 135/140 in the slow lane, getting passed, on a German highway in a Benz. Nearly scared the pants off of me.
after that about 125/130 as a passenger on a tiny two lane U.S road in a 91/92 Camaro converted to police car, my nutso cop dad was driving.
After that about 115 in a 72 (I think) Dodge Dart, and about same speed another time in a I wanna say 2001 camaro on the same stretch of road as the police car ride.
After that about 105 in my own 69 firebird with a wimpy straight six (4.1 liter overhead cam, trying finding a new starter for that, arseholes).
edit: these are all MPH

Over 120 in a '73 Plymouth Fury with a 400 engine. I grew up in rural Nebraska, so it wasn't hard to find an open stretch of flat, straight highway.

Passenger car on public roads: 145 indicated (probably in the mid 130s actual) in my rich Lesbian Aunt's 2003 Porsche 911 GT2. Dumbest thing I ever did, but it was on a backroad in New Hampshire, so no danger to anybody but me (and my Dad who was in the right seat).
Racecar: 178 actual (confirmed via speedtrap) through the Daytona trioval during an SCCA regional race

135 in a 93 BMW 325is as a senior in high school racing some guy on a suburban road on Long Island New York...
142 as a passenger on a honda CBR900RR after I got off the bike I threatened to kill my friend (literally) I've never been so scared in my entire life.
But the best was approximately 120 driving a Lamborghini Diablo in the mountains just outside Reggio Emilia Italy.. Obviously for that car it's not so fast but it was too cool to drive...

God bless the autobahn...
Funnily enough, I'm going to the desert/sticks on Tuesday and my friend at the local college tells me that on the highways, there can be nothing for miles, so local speed freaks and kids supe up the cars and blitz down the sandy motorways at well over 150mph. Most of them are in crappy state though - unlike the Autobahn.

I've been on the autobahn system, but my dad was driving and I don't think we went faster than 110. We were in a Benz of some sort.
Currently I'm driving a 2006 Mazda 3s, which I have taken on empty freeways up to 110. I don't do it normally, but a few times I just 'had' to see what it felt like. It feels like going 60, only everything's going by faster :)
Someday I might see if there's a speed governor or whatnot on it.
Also while driving my 2001 Ford Escape through the great salt flats in Utah I went 100 for over an hour, and with next to no risk of being pulled over :D
