Roof up, roof down, Autobahn, wherever. I always seem to run our of empty road in the 130's and have to slow down.

Its a bugger.

The car's got plenty in reserve, though its slow to build by then.

130mph with the hardtop crossing the salt flats in Utah. It jumped right up there and could have easily gone faster if it weren't for all the other traffic.

i've done 150mph on the speedo, and it has always bugged me that i didn't go for 151. this was in a completely stock AP2, top up, with no passenger, and virtually nothing in the car but myself (~170lbs.) and the spare kit. i stopped at 150 since it is the supposed top speed that i had heard Honda claimed. also, the tach was just touching the redline, which i don't like to venture into. it didn't seem like she had much more to give and the numbers were building excruciatingly slowly at that point

I've never been faster than 120 in this one as the only track day I've been to was a very windy twisty one! It certainly gets to 120 in good time though!

When I had my Z4 it said in the manual that you lose 10% of performance with the roof down.
