i've had my SVX up to 155 (indicated) numerous times. i know the speedo has an error at high speeds, but i've also never hit a limiter, and it felt like it could have gone a bit faster if only i had the space. i have stock wheels and the right size tires with about 50% tread, so it was probably a bit slower than indicated.

the SVX keeps up surprisingly well with a mercedes SL500 from 80 to 155(?)

My speedo (and others have reported) always registers 2-3 MPH faster than actual speed. I've proven this through radar and my GPS.
