350 felt like a lexus compared to the s so im assuming the 370 will do 165+ no sweat unless it's gearing limited. The 350 at 135 had a lot more juice left but i ran of runway. 156 in the s i am lucky to be alive. i thought the entire car was gonna fall apart.
Electronically limited. The gearing is fine. There's a thread on this forum somewhere with the theoretical top speed (which I believe was 198MPH) based on gearing and red-line.

But this car won't see 160+ without mods. Stock it'd be lucky to see 160 at all unless you're at sea level. I think with full bolt-ons it will see 170-ish speeds.
