Drove one without a salesman, and chriped 3rd gear @ around 115 mph. I can't wait till they tweak this model some and make a little more TQ, becuase it is doggy if you don't keep it wide open and in the higher rpms. anything below 7800 was a dog, but this is because they ported the 6 port 13B by 30% and tried to fix it with a 3 stage air system to keep the air moving faster.
