It sounds a bit sick to me...
My first stock, HT NT 1L Sierra, with tools and work stuff in the back, would sit on 120kph easily, had it up to 130kph...
My Old 89 Carby Vit, i could get to 140kph, but felt a bit twitchy...
And my current 01 GV, i have had it up to 145kph. so far, and it felt solid on the road... i wouldnt want to go any faster than 160kph, but i am sure it would go ALOT faster than that !

2004 GV 2.5lt - 150kms in 5th- unladen no passengers. Still had a little more but as above mentioned there not really designed for speed.
I do have Bilstein Suspension with dobinsons springs
Slotted Front Rotors with Braided Brake lines.

Ive had the coily up to 125kph on the speedo with 235's while passing a truck  couldhave gone further but it was getting pretty scary at those speeds with my screwed control arms  All stock besides extractors and exhaust

Actually the tyres were only 275's. The speedo was a 320, but only reached 295 in 5th.
