170 in a Porsche 911 Turbo at 2:30 am on a public freeway. My friend, who's a rally driver, was at the wheel, I was in the passenger seat.
At about 155, the turbo dumps a bunch of fuel which ignites in the exhaust, resulting in a very nice jet of flame belching 10 to 15 feet out the tailpipe. Which neither of us knew, though he remembered it after the fact. There we are, letting this car out, and suddenly the trees all around us are reflecting flashes of yellow light... We were both pretty sure we were busted. Turns out it was just our AFTERBURNER!
