Regardless, at 160 (+/- 4%) its astounding how good the car feels at speed. Not sure about a pure stocker but being lowered with stiff suspension, good tires (MPSC 2s) and a good alignment I have encountered no handling issues. And I really hope I don't.

I tried with a GPS today. Speedo said +/- 140 mph. GPS only said 124.
That's knots =142.6 mph.

I'll post a video tomorrow.
