I've driven one up to 130 MPH (209.21 KPH). It handled the speed very well.

I did 130 on Dunlop SP 8000's...man they were screaming. There was plenty of gas pedal left at that point, but I ran out of road.

120 on 880 going towards Oakland. That is the last time i went over a hundred, since later i learned from a friend how much a 100+ ticket cost. Does not worth it.
