Too busy concentrating on the road ahead normally, but I'd guess (in standard spec) it's topping out at about 110mph! Please correct me if I'm wrong, it's just the horizon seems to be coming at me so quick, and the change up light flashes up, grab fourth, hurtle past everyone else as if they're going backwards (was that a Type R?! Heh heh!) and then fifth and I'm pushing 150! On a private road/race track of course!

Yep, I was a bit high with my original guess! Checked today and it hit 96mph in third just as it hit the limiter, private road again of course!
