Top Speed

Now then guys and girls, just out of interest, what is the fastest you have been in you zs's???? i dont want to know were or if it was on road or track LOL. but im just curios. the book says 139 mph top speed. ive done 141mph in my 2002 ZS 180 hatch and it was still going, but I backed off (dont want to damage the engine).

anyone done any better or had an interesting high speed experience??

Ps.
I know its not all about top speed cus they handle so well, but the V6 isnt there for show LOL.

Beat ya! 142mph clocked by GPS

I didn't know if it had anything else left in it, as someone had just pulled into my lane so I was easing off somewhat

Keep it clean folks! Any quoted speed above the NSL should be on a track, not on the public highway

Only 115mph Im afraid to say, but then the "circuits" around my way dont have many straights, and those arent very long.
