125...as prescribed by Lotus on a standard S2 engine.
Felt that was enough. Just did it the once, happy enough!
Unbelievably stable...it felt like a normal speed.
That was in my mates big garden with a driveway, which has a slope, em, steep slope

Not sure - but I have spun the car at 90mph+ at crail. Should have changed up going into the corner but forgot and hit the limiter just after the apex.

138 mph when I just bought the Exige, it was the std 177BHP then (and it took a while to get there).
But on a bike I did 280 KPH in Italy (175 mph) (autostrada) and spent above 250 (156 mph) for a long time (yes, there were cars on the road)
In Mexico I managed 285 KPH (178 mph) on the motorway as well, but for a short time only.
Max speed ever has been 295 (184 mph) KPH at Monza, but lap after lap
