I don't have any charts to back it up but in 97 I recorded three straight miles in 22 sec each in my 9000 Aero. It was 20 deg F. on a december morning with no wind. This was load limited in fifth at about 5700rpm and still pulling over 15psi boost, the math says this was 164 mph.
I remember this well because as I pulled into my driveway there was a very noticable loud ticking sound that wasn't there before. Turns out #3 piston had seized the rings from over heating.
Lesson learned...if the car stops accelerating in fifth let off. Today I would use a GPS to determine top spead reached.
