they were using third party GPS speedo tech, and that's visible in the video.

At our old neighborhood when I washed my 911 several neighborhood kids would stop and ask questions. The first question virtually every kid asked is how fast will it go. That was all that mattered to them. If they had clean clothes and shoes I would let them sit in it. They all saw the 160 MPH top sped on the speedometer and were happy.

Should be 145-152-ish. I know that I was able to hit 6200rpm in 5th once on I-10 which puts it just over 150, I think. Mine was an '88. I think they might have been rated a couple hp less in '85. But then mine was also a targa which should be less aerodynamic.
