here is the "thing" about top speed.................it is entirely dependant on the CONDITIONS....especially weather-altitude-slope of the road etc......the exact same car could go +/- 10mph on the exact same road with different weather conditions....

140mph seems about right given our modest HP.....

Also true top speeds takes a REALLY long road.....so a car that can hit say 175mph....might take 4 miles.....vs it can hit 150mph in a mile.....

If you are a top speed junky take a serious look at Open Road Racing.....the Silver State Classic runs every May and Sept in Nevada...... Many of my friends with Porsche 928's love it..... Personally I find it too risky-expensive for an event that runs two weekends per YEAR....I can run on the track almost every weekend if I had the budget!!!!
