i know someone that went 153 in his s2000.
i did 140 topdown prior to that then pulled over to close the top and tried again.this was on some open freeway at 2pm, while cops are taking a nap somewhere under an overpass.

if you are after the thrill, there are legal ways: I suggest buying a Yugo and try go 60mph. You will get the same sensation...

My dad got caught doing 145mph in his Mitsu 3000gt...he got the car impounded for 30 days, 500 hours of community service and an all expenses paid weekend vacation in the county lock up. BTW he got caught on HWY 5 so all this punishment took place in Firebaugh county 3 hrs away from here...sweet huh? I forgot how much he had to pay though...I guess he shouldn't have argued with the judge!

ALL of that is @ discretion. The point count, the impoundage, probable cause arrest, and the appearance is up to the citing officer.
License suspension, fine, imprisonment is up to the magistrate. The DMV may also suspend your license, after the court sends the DMV notification of +2 points if carried.

If you are written up for a violation of CVC 22348b, (like I was, 138 in a 65) you automatically get two points. the impound/arrest/etc is up to the officer. (I didn't get my car impounded.)
the court will access a fine and more than likely, a license suspension (mine was 30 days). The fine was something like $1500, I forget.
It all depends on the cop. He could very well write you for reckless, but that's a misdemeanor and a lot more paperwork, etc.

^ Hwy 5 is monitored by both and in my father's case he argued with the cop during the citation and called him a racist 
so you could imagine what the officer was thinking
