I'm ditching the 2L (top speeds)

[NavySEAL2B at insightbb.com (GTG)]

Well, since it now seems everyone's just chiming in with their record 
speeds:

150ish in my BMW.  I nearly pegged the speedo (which is 160) but they're 
notoriously optimistic past 110 or so.  This was after removing the 135 U.S. 
governor.
and maybe like, 85 in the Scirocco?
