fastest you've ever drivin, fastest you've ever been

Just wondering ?!?!
What is the fastest you have ever driven a car or been in a car driven really fast.
I personnally have been to race schools where they tell you how "fast you where going" and I know speedo's have variencies but what is the fastest you driven or been driven in a car?
Me?
They told me 165 at Nascar school ( California Superspeedway)
Shootgun 178 in my buddies Ferrari 550 in Arizona, as per the officers that stopped us, the car speedo said 173.

140+ when I was young and stupid and hopped up on goof-balls.

120 today when I had a clear road and no cops ahead.

In the pilots seat:
137 in my BMW, between the I-82/I-90 cutoff and Selah.
155 (possibly optimistic) on my bike going downhill on I-90, just east of Ellensburg.

Fastest multiple:
(3x) 75 in a 25 (when I was an idiot 25 year old)

As a passenger:
How fast do commercial jets go?

141 (by the tach, gearing limited) in the 911.
155 (indicated) in the Jaguar.
750-ish (indicated) in a 747 with a tailwind.

The fastest of the three put me to sleep.
