Well I'm sure there was some fudge in the speedo but it said 145mph as I went round the Berlin ring road and the foot was not quite to the floor! I was impressed as my old Lotus Esprit 1989 2.2L Turbo peaked out at 152mph when I ran that out back in the early 90's (also got a 6 month suspension for that little stunt on the M2)
