149 in my Camaro before the 396, 1/8th mile car after that.

157 in my 2000 Mustang, 4.30 gears, Pypes LTs, ORx, SLPLM2 exhaust, SCT tuned and a 150 shot.

168 in my Caliber SRT4, Stage 1 ECU and ported turbo. I miss this car

2002 Honda Accord EX-V6. 143 with a STIFF tail wind! Was taking a rural short cut to my sister's house during a hard windstorm. Wind straight out of the west, driving due east on a nice farm-to-market road. Thought to myself, "Just why the heck not?" and planted the pedal for probably ten miles. Hit the 5-mph mark past 140 on the speedo and stayed there. GPS said 143.

The day I bought the car, the sales guy said it was chip-governed at 132.

It wasn't.

Out of curiosity, what can I expect from a 2011 XC70, 3.2?

3.2 is probably governed at 130mph, check the speed rating on your tires.

(T - 112mph, H - 130mph, V - 149mph, W - 168mph, Y - 186mph)

156mph when I just got a ecu remap.

Probably wont go that fast again due to installing a V70 gauge cluster in place of the factory 850 one. It pegs at 145, so now at 145 I coast and ease off, no need to stress.

LOL, that's what the GPS is for.

It won't be long before they will get a search warrant and check out GPS for top speed of the day. LOL, find the reset button quick!
