Cool True top speed?

Greetings. I'm in a pissin' contest with someone on another car site. I'd quoted (from memory) the "listed" top speed of an ungoverned '92' - '93 as 143 mph, & later years 130 with governor. He strongly doubts these "claims", & doubts anything over 120, unless downhill, tailwind, etc. Can anyone direct me to an old, at least semi-credible magazine article that used a measuring device other than a speedometer, & wishful thinking?

Ron.
