Factory top end is 125 mph, will probably go faster (with GREATLY increased engine wear!) with the non-rev limiter rotor -- the limiter cuts out at about 6200 rpm, I think, less with age as the spring gets weak.
IT certainly has all the performace I want, but then I'm satisfied with my 220D when it runs right. Not so speedy on acceleration, but it dives nice once you get going!
