I as well broke down and gave it a go a couple years ago,,,as sunrise in a quite remote area of the world.
Anyway, I have heavily modified 1988, and I reached 6000RPM in 5th. The needle said 250. At taht RPM I was still hitting 14psi of boost, nearly 10psi more than stock at 6oooRPM. Didn't take too long...20psi to 180, then I just held on from there. Suspension is upgraded so I concur with the fact is felt relatively solid. But believe you me I was on the brake very quickly. I still don't trust a 14 year old car.
So been thee done that, probably won't do it again until I get my hands on an Aero ;-)
