These are fun academic discussions but if there is even 1% of the market who will reach 170+ I would be floored (no pun intended). Hitting the rained out turn 1 straight at Laguna Seca Saturday I was happy to reach 118 before byproduct lift occurred at the dogleg left. There are other tracks that will allow higher top speed but not anywhere close to 170. It's great to know the car is capable (in stock trim no less) but that's just bragging rights, not practical application. A fun conversation non-the-less
