Not my fastest speed but i think i may have you all beat here *trust me thats a TALL order after seeing those posts*
BUT most of you are posting speeds on autobahn and Interstates.
how about 126mp on the West Side Highway NYC racing a BMW 540i from around the 90's hit 126 around the 80's and maintained between 100 and 126 all the way to to battery park.
yes, red lights and all. Not a pause. You stop, you lost. You made it to the southern tip first. you won.
Though the most insane thing ever done-not to mention practically suicidal, my buddy promptly removed his S/S white face series Z Rolex Daytona whit White dial. Making that number 2 in my collection!
Was quite a gas wearing one on each wrist to work that monday.
Yeah, 130 or 160 is fast on a highway or track. But those of you in the know how ****ing fast that was!!

I haven't read any of these posts
Route 39 in The Great Free State of Illinois headed to Rockford, IL from Aurora, IL.
144 and I do believe the electronic limiter kicked in cause she had more on the tach but it just hung there. momentarily the display said 146 but my Garmin GPS (Yes, I had 2 NAV systems in the car) read 144mph.
Completely solid. Still had the stock rims on then... I never had it up with the Foose Wheels.
This is an 07 E350 4Matic...which can be seen wrecked here:

I mean legally, this was all a dream and never actually occurred.
Here in Ill where we ONLY drive 65... at all times.

2005 E320 CDI (Brilliant Silver)
. I live in the US and drive an E320 CDI. Smooth all the way to a 120mph. It was so smooth that I would have tried for more but I was in a school zone 
(just kidding) but I was starting to run out of runway since I wasn't on the highway but a long country road that undulated up and down so lets just say my pucker was tight since I didn't know how much undulation to expect on each hill, technically I guess I could have gotten airborne if I would have hit the wrong hill too fast . That might not have been too pretty.

I've only hit about 95 in my 07 E550, briefly, on Interstate 70 eastbound between Baltimore & Frederick in MD. This car is incredibly smooth & stable. I could see going 135 MPH very comfortably, but I'm to old & conservative to attempt it on any highways around here.
Back when I was younger & dumber, in like 1973 or 1974, I had an old '57 Chevy sedan, with a built up 327, 4 speed, and the original rear end. The rear was geared for the removed slip/n/slide powerglide tranny. I think it was around 1:260 ratio. That old car would cruise at 100 and be taching around 3000 rpm. I know the motor was good for extended runs @ 6000 rpm, and occasionally I'd take it up to 7500 rpm.
Anyway, back then me & my buddies would oftentimes drag down Rockville Pike/Wisconsin Avenue. This was before White Flint Mall & the associated congestion. We would start southbound from Wall Lane, or Strathmore, and fly down to the Beltway. Burying the speedometer @ 120 mph, and then keep on getting it, was something I did more times than I can recall. I think I might have reached 140, but I had no way of really knowing.
Da*#'ed lucky I never killed myself, or someone else.

From what I've read here the limiter is set at 135 mph (at least for my 04), but didn't relize it at that time. It was just coincidence I stopped accelerating at that speed while my ol'lady was ragging on me about my escapade....Funny thing was she never noticed the speed increase until approx 110 mph. I too will agree the car is absolutly rock solid at high speeds.
