We've seen "130" in our old 3.0, but I suspect that
was more like 122/125, with the optomistic speedo...
it "sat down" and rolled like a 5K lb tank down the road.
(The rpms via the 5 spd manual were another matter.)

I've had my old Hurricane at 155 indicated, (prob. 140ish),
and the Vette at 160, (ran out of road and balls), and I am
surprised and impressed at the remarkable good feel and
"hunker downess" that the vehicles exhibit at these speeds.

Course these events were done on billiard smooth roads,
with no banking, but I am always impressed how good rides
are, at "considerable" speed.
