Been to roughly ~130mph indicated in the 3.2 before I ran out of road. New tires, freshly balanced, all that. Felt rock solid, though noisy. In the DD I could fall asleep at that speed.

Many years ago, when my car was still young, I had it up to an indicated 142MPH on a long, straight, and fortunately empty highway. I had a chin spoiler but no rear one (still do), so it was a bit of a handful, and I wasn't spending too much time ogling the speedo.

I think I saw high 130s on the back straight at the Glen in my 3.2 Targa. I would be shocked if these cars(3.2) could hit an honest 140.
Do we need to book the Glen for some high speed testing? :) Quote:

I'm in Germany (Dortmund) right now and took my friend's '82 SC on the Autobahn yesterday. Top was almost 230 km/h (about 135 MPH). He has a front spoiler only, new tires and the car is balanced. It felt pretty solid at that speed, but I would not take a hand off the wheel to take a picture though.
