Jealous?? My speedo goes to 180kmh. The needle clearly reached a position that would have been slightly over 190 if markings continued. Anb by the way, it was still happily accelerating, but I ran out of straight road and wasn't trying to find the out top speed. The road was dead level and wind negligible. Even if the speedo is optimistic, it would have been over 100mph and accelerating well. Better go fishing, Eric.
