ive had an indicated 132mph it was still going higher but i needed to slow down for a fast approaching bend(ahem... the end of the drag strip/runway), it was pretty near the redline on the rev counter as well

I have seen 136mph on the clocks (obviously not what it is actually doing), not sure where the revs were, too scared to look though I think it was pretty much near the red. I wasn't being very aerodynamic and I am a bit scared so it may have gone faster

132 mph on my 1999 svs, would have gone alittle faster, but it was a stuggle to get it that fast upto 120 is no problems

I suspect my SV needs some serious tuning or something, it doesn't seem to want to go quicker than about 120MPH. (Indicated 183Kph, plenty of road left but the numbers stayed put
