To tell the truth, I honestly don't know how fast I've been in the ol' 89 but I did better than 102 in the 1320. That was before the new motor. The speedo goes to 85 soo.. more than 85 on the street. I really don't know what the top end is on that car and I never had it at the top because frankly, it never wanted to stop pulling... late night, top down and a feeling I'll never forget. Looking back, I probably shouldn't have done it but life is full of choices and we each make our own.. and live with them. The fastest I've ever known that I've gone on the street is 145mph on an 86 V-Max I owned about 15yrs ago. The advertised top speed was 145 and I wanted to see if it would do it. Middle of winter and I thought I was going to be blown off the damn thing and then realized the back road I was taking was full of pot-holes.. was only there for a few seconds.
So basically, if you find yourself going too fast for the conditions.. its not because you read it on some messageboard, its because you're human.
Be safe brothers.
