well that.............and our new stunt driving laws. 
for those that don't know, if you're doing 50 KPH over the posted limit (doesn't matter if you're on the highway and it's 100 KPH, or a side street posted @ 40 KPH), you lose your licence on the spot, vehicle is impounded on the spot for 7 days-doesn't even matter if it even a OPP car (local cop found that out as she was busted for 166 in a 100 with no call logged)-at a yard of their choice. so you can't even have it towed to yourhouse while you wait it out.
and of course you have to pay the impound fees before your vehicle will be released.
@ least my Jetta & 'Burb aren't fast enough (or quick enough) to have to worry about it though.

I don't know how fast the Jimmy goes yet...lol
86 Monte Carlo SS- 540 big block...somewhere way over 85 but that's where the speedo stops. Same for my 91 S10 with a 350 SBC. My lightly modded 94 Mustang GT buried the speedo @ 150 then gained a little more on top of that. Mom's 97 Grand Prix GT hit the rev limiter @ 107. Dad's 96 Impala SS we've had up to a little over 130. My 02 GSXR 750; well it indicated in the 186 range but I don't know how accurate the speedo is at that speed. 1996 KX500 clocked @ 98.

That's how I wanna die!...Anyways, Fastest in my cars was 120mph in a 1995 BMW 318ti, hit the rev limiter there.
My 92 4 door 4x4 beat my buddies 96 4.3 s10 pickup on the highwa... err "closed cource"
.Not sure of speed but the speedo was buried and I let off the gas and the needle didn't start to fall for about 15 seconds. His truck keep shutting down with the governer and mine just keep going. It was awesome to be driving a stock 4x4 and beat a 5-6 inch lowered s10 with 18 inch rims!
Got 3 tickets in the BMW, 38 ina 25, 52 ina 40. And a compound 55 ina 40 at night in a intersection in adverse weather. Late to work and got pulled over in the truck. First time in 3 years. Forgot about speedo being off. 52 ina 35. She let me off with a warning, she liked the truck! Only time I ever got pulled over and didn't get a ticket...

to be perfectly honest Richard, considering the name of the thread, i'm surprised that it's made it to the end of almost 6 full pages.
on a slightly related topic (and forum rule), how is the access to local play areas around everybody?
i'm talking about drag strips, old air fields, "closed course" road courses, etc? 'cause inthe GTA, there really isn't anything.
a friend of mine from high school told me, back in the mid to late 60's, his Dad almost had final aproval for building a drag strip/road course track complex in what is now considered the top end of Woodbridge, near Maple (right near Canada's Wonderland).
during a final vote, there was some back room discussions about how it's gonna cause more kids to race around the city streets when they come back from the strip/track. Woodbridge is aprox 10 minutes from the 401 (top end of Toronto for those that don't know), and @ the time was far enough away from Toronto, that it is just now being developed for new homes.
stupid bureaucracy..........the closest track is curently 100 km (62 miles) East of Toronto. and in rush hour/weekend traffic, it can be 2 hours (or more). or there's Cayuga Raceway Park, it's 110 km down towards Lake Erie (South of Hamilton), and the travel times are a little longer (small rural communities, lower speed limits-and absolutely zero tolerance for any "pushing the limit" what so ever.
