Speedo mph can be relatively meaningless, since accuracy varies a lot and some cars may be 10% or so out.
My car has hit the rev-limiter in 6th on the autobahn several times, which I worked out at circa 206mph (7150rpm Ruf limit on stock GT2 tires). According the Mr Lieb (Ruf's Test Driver) it hit the limiter hard enough to de-stabilise the car momentarily.
My best is 196mph true (timing beam) over about 1.5miles from a standstill, then decelerated to zero in about 400 yards or so before the runway stopped................

I would never think of exceeding the posted speed limit.
I did however hit 76mph one time on the interstate ... I quickly corrected and brought it back to the posted 75mph.

that thing felt like it was going to break apart...
other than that 155 in a gt2 (heavy traffic so didnt go higher speeds)

except lambo. speedos are woefully inaccurate.
a shown 100kmph on the speedo is actually only 91kmh true speed
