We already know the car can handle speeds just under 167mph... (see post #14)

Honestly, I don't see why it couldn't. While the stock suspension is quite soft, it becomes quite 'firm' as speed climbs and the car definitely has a more planted feeling with the road...

But then again, the forces acting on a car at 140-150mph or even at 167mph are totally different from those acting on the car at 190+mph!
