Default Top Speed mph
What is the top speed acheived in an S - unmodified (ish) - on a track (for example as we would never speed on a public road)

I know someone that has managed 142, hood down, on an 'A' class type track. This was the GPS speed reading.

There is some folklore around these parts of an idicated 153 with the roof up and a bunch or revs being left.
