Well I'm not too sure about the specs on the car, but being lighter (assuming this cuz it's a coupe) and I thought it had over 500 hp, he shoulda been passing me. But he never came close to passing me so maybe he did hit the limiter.

Interesting

Anybody hit the governor (170mph) yet?

Anybody had the governor removed??? Rumors are that they'll do 190ish without it! Any truth?

I reached 260-265 km/h so was within 10 km/h of it topping out

I'll mention that it was done safely in a controlled environment
have tried top for ~6 times. speedometer stops going at 285 km/h (while gps shows 275km/h). Nothing different then driving 200km/h

I've hit 120 on short bursts (way too easy to get there ) but frankly the big hazard around these parts are deer. Don't need one coming through my windshield at 100+ mph.

I personally don't think its bumpy at highway speeds. When I drive around the city's shi**y roads, yea, it gets a little bumpy, but on the highways, not so much. I actually find myself saying wow, its pretty smooth

I've pushed mine hard enough to almost get a wheel fully off the ground. Don't know how fast I was going though.
