Downhill, only me in the drivers seat, my friends 95 tsi awd riding my ass. My gauge said 137, keep in mind I'm riding on 18"s, so that means I was going way faster. Using this site http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html it says that I go about 5-7 mph faster when my speedometer reads 60.
If it's directly proportional like it should be since it's a ratio, then at 120 I should be going 130-134. Well, since my speedometer was reading 137, I'm concluding that I was going about 150. I was almost at redline and I'm sure my car was pissed off at me, but I was 19 and stupid and had to test it.
My friend got next to me and waved good bye, he mashed the throttle and he probably got up to 160.
Never again will I do that, if I blew a tire or an animal jumped out, the last thing going through our minds would be our ass cuz we'd be dead.
