I too am older than the average bear, but not yet at an age where speed puts me off ... I've driven mine to a speed slightly greater than 130 before running out of road to take it faster ... not to mention the fact that I was on a CA highway at night, so I was far beyond the ability to stop if something suddenly appeared in my headlights including a highway patrol car ... but, the car sat down solidly, I had zero sensation of lift which experience was very off-putting in other cars at speeds greater than 100mph and I had a LOT of pedal remaining under my right foot ... I'm confident that I could blow past that 145 and hit 160 or more ...
