I shot ILS 25L in PHX at 1 am at 200 kts (Vne 202) in a Piper Seminole, leveled off at 25' screaming down the runway at full throttle, pulled up into a high speed climb (around 20-25 degrees of pitch) while rolling the plane into a 30 degree right hand turn in the direction of Squaw Peak back towards Deer Valley Airport. The controller wanted Max forward speed so I gave it to him. That was definitely one of the most memorable approached I’ve ever shot. The trick is to keep a little nose up trim when you level off so that the airplane wants to climb, just incase something happens.

PS. Don't try this unless you’re a highly skilled pilot and even then think it through.
