I too am surprised. I just bought an 07 Automatic. I hadn't really opened it up. Well, still haven't but did get the chance to experiment. While putting along on cruise control (65 MPH) I spied a full mile of open highway ahead of me, I floored it, shifted into 4th and effortlessly accellerated to 115 or so before I backed off. STABLE and QUIET with no signs of backing off the accelleration curve. I'm beginning to believe the 153 top speed I've been reading about.
