Well I'm not too sure about the specs on the car, but being lighter (assuming this cuz it's a coupe) and I thought it had over 500 hp, he shoulda been passing me. But he never came close to passing me so maybe he did hit the limiter.

Interesting

I reached 260-265 km/h so was within 10 km/h of it topping out

I'll mention that it was done safely in a controlled environment
have tried top for ~6 times. speedometer stops going at 285 km/h (while gps shows 275km/h). Nothing different then driving 200km/h

I've hit 120 on short bursts (way too easy to get there ) but frankly the big hazard around these parts are deer. Don't need one coming through my windshield at 100+ mph.

I personally don't think its bumpy at highway speeds. When I drive around the city's shi**y roads, yea, it gets a little bumpy, but on the highways, not so much. I actually find myself saying wow, its pretty smooth

I've pushed mine hard enough to almost get a wheel fully off the ground. Don't know how fast I was going though.
