In comparison to other stock cars, where would our cars, as stock, rank on speed?

Just a note about top speeds. Speedos are dialed in the factor to be really accurate from 0-75, but after that it gets hazy. And if you've never changed out your VSS (Vechile Speed Sensor), odds are your readings are off and maybe you're expirencing a weird cruise control.
When I had my FC T2, everyone thought the car topped out at 155mph (I'll vouch) but some testing and radar clocking revealed the FC's were general topping out at 145-147mph. Proof the speedos werent dialed in too well. Food for thought. -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife
