    The top speed is over 160 mph, but you have to drop it from a helicopter.

    I've had mine to 108 a handful of times... it will momentarily jump to 109 for a split second, then back to a solid 108... It actually climbs pretty consistently up to it's top speed. Some cars will take forever to get the last 5mph out of them. This of course is evidence of the car being electronically limited and not limited by drag. The car is pretty comfortable at that speed, although I wouldn't maintain that speed due to the lack of speed rated tires. I suppose I did have the cruise set for 95 for a good solid hour straight on three occasions during triple digit temperatures which is probably worse.
