I think the top speed is higher than 140 mph in my car. While checking the Air/Fuel ratio at wide open throttle my engine guy and me reached 136 mph “by mistake”. I can tell you there was quite a bit of “slack” in the accelerator pedal.
If you ask me how it felt… I am not so keen to do it again! The car behaved quite well, but I was too scared to press on. The engine guy was shocked, as he normally does engines for american classic cars. Normally they never go faster that 90 mph on those. He claims that this was the fasted drive he ever had in a car with an US V8…and couldn’t stop giggling for some time.
