Whats the top speed you have had your Cobra?
Mine...not very fast. Not much highway in Hawaii. Plus, 30MPH over there is considered a mistameanor felony now if I remember right. Plus, fines in the 1000s of dollars.

Does a Roush count? Being a police officer, I would never get my speedometer to go to 150 at 2;30 in the morning on a deserted highway........ I ALWAYS go the speed limit.

i am not a police officer so I would never go 155 on a hyway of the same name :whistling
I did 185 on the dyno I got witnesses.

My 91GT with 308 gears in Germany is the fastest I have ever been in a car. I can't verify the speed with a GPS or anything, but I buried the speedometer (145MPH) on the Autobahn in Germany.

Have had the terminator speedo pegged and could feel it still pulling in 5th.
Have no idea how fast it was going for real. Had to slow down as I approached
the next town.
On an undisclosed section of test track in Northern Minnesota at roughly 2:00am.

171 on gps, front end was starting to get light and road was running out, still had a bit to go. lowered and bigger tail and more road I don't see 180 as a problem.

200mph - 01 GSX-R 1000, power commander, lowered, full exhaust
165mph - 99 Lightning 3.73's, 90mm Pro-M, 4lb lower, Superchips programmed flip chip.
170?mph - 85 Mustang GT 2.73's, 400bhp, 100hp pills on top of that, 5500rpm in 4th was computed mathematically to be 155mph, I put it in 5th at 6100rpm, and continued to pull on spray. I shut it down when I realised how fast I was going ... The car was stable ... it was just .. fast.

I have had the fortune to drive a Ferrarri Modena @ 319 kph or 193-195MPH on the Autostrada between Verona and Millan in Italy. It was a rental that a friend payed for. I was in heaven and now I got the Need something fierce. I can't wait to get back and try my 650hp Term out on a track. Cause I gotta do it again.

Fastest I've ever gone in my Cobra was 130. It was when I first bought it, and I was driving back from Tennessee to Oklahoma (I had quite a drive to get my Cobra, but it was worth it) and put it into third gear while I was going 60 and layed on the loud pedal for a bit. That was enough for me. I'm more of a quarter mile guy, as opposed to a top speed guy.

I wish I had the cooling, tires, brakes, etc.., and of course the closed road, to have mine matted at 6k in 6th gear! That would be a hell of a ride...
