148mph - '68 GTX, 440, 4spd. Was rewarded with 15 bent push rods. Well hell...you had one left to go. Almost impressed us.

130 something was the speed limiter in the T-bird. Found it!
Boat, no idea.
Air?
Max velocity in a 20 foot fall?

Land: Dodge Polara with a turbo-charged 440 engine. 140 MPH
Water: Don't know exactly. Either a Navy P.B.R. when we were being cross-trained for delta operations with Coastal River Division 11 or maybe a friends speed boat. I don't know how fast either one was.
Air: Probably a Jet liner so I am going to say about 500 MPH.

I had a 14 foot livingston boat with tiller steer 25 hp Suzuki [really about 35 hp] that did an honest 30 mph.... until the motor fell off in 400 feet of water at Possession Point.
I put my T shirt on top of an oar, waved it around, and got a tow back to the boat ramp. My pre school son was with me. He is 34 now, and can still remember it..... the T shirt part.

At the controls: 140mph 68 Jaguar, 320 Cessna Skynight, maybe 260mph. Now to the funny part; I always find myself throttling back in a boat at around 35mph. Too damned fast on water.

228 km on the Autobahn is 141.673 mph in an Audi something. That was at night as a passenger driven by the plant manager who was eating a cookie and talking with his hands to the French guy in the back seat. I said to myself what am I doing sitting in the front seat with a seat belt on? If we crash at this speed, I going to be nothing but a smear on the pavement. Not a real comfort to realize there are very few injuries on the Autobahn, only fatalities.
Charter fishing on Lake Michigan I’ve seen too much big stuff floating out there to risk going fast in a boat.
My other auto is a .45

145 on my '84 Kaw 750 Turbo.
Indicated 70 on a supercharged Sea Doo.
Whatever an airliner cruises at.
238 in freefall in a 6 way tube, basically a ball of people. One guy had a digital altimeter that recorded max vertical speed.
I'm sure I've gone faster solo but had no way to record it.
