At over 130 (according to the GPS not the IPK) the car was still smooth and I'm sure there was a little more to be had but I was not sure of how long it would take to stop so I chickened out.

The IPK had me at over 140 but I'm more tempted to trust the GPS than the IPK and I don't think our cars will do 140.
