    Me too. I've pushed mine to 85mph down an incline on the highway and it was hard to control. Any slight deviation and I just knew I could roll hard.

    You were doing 115? Wow. Your braver than me and I drive in one of the most dangerous cities in the US as far as car safety goes. Atlanta driving is a nightmare with the 15 over speeding everywhere and aggressive drivers. Its a jungle down here.

    I hit triple digits a few times (allegedly). Not for very long and once up to 115mph and I backed off, might have been a few more mph left before the speed limiter kicks in.

    That's very fast for a production car. I know someone with a Dodge Ram R/T and the governor is like 168 km's an hour. Mirage can get to 200 km's an hour. Eventually. And that's a small tin can to be launching into those speeds lol

    My 2019 Outlander Sport in 5th gear @5000 rpm is right around 115mph / 188kph (allegedly)

    Now the 2020 models are especially slick and fast. The word on the street is the 2020 model has special factory race prepration done to it and is most definitely the model to have for a) racing, or b) fleeing law enforcement. The 2020 is definitely the best year.

    I've got a 17 hp Honda Rebel 250. It's top speed is 72 mph, straight/level/no wind. I have a 70 hp scooter that is supposed to be able to do a skosh over 120 mph. I got it to about 105 mph one time in a successful effort to put a H-D 1200 Sporster in his place.
