You can peg the VSI with a flight idle descent from high altitude, high airspeed and spoilers deployed. The VSI on the 767 pegs out at 6k (up or down), so if you're coming down like a banshee and the VSI is pegged, you might not really know what your descent rate is (unless you time it). But you sure come down fast!!
