I don't know and I don't care to know because I don't think my car has enough downforce to keep it stuck on the road at such high speeds. I'm guessing maybe in the 140 mph range though...

If it's stock then 130 mph is about right.

I'd guess about 146. I can vouch that an '87 SE w/ a brand new motor topped out at 146...you may be a little slower though due to weight.

My 90 GXl would only top out at about 130ish, but that was about 15,000 miles before my engine blew.
