Default How far did you push it? It seems our cars lie a bit when it comes to the speedo...
155 is probably really around 148-150 range. Need a GPS unit on the dash to really verify things. Though I have heard from others that no speed govenors exist. My guess is they just told the government that, and its not like they're gonna somewhere to prove that is the case.

And the speedo is 4mph optimistic. Indicated 70 mph == 66 mph ground speed.
