I'm pretty sure my roadster will do 160 but I don't have a speedo at all.  I suppose I could hook the speed sensor from the tranny into my datalogger.

According to my big book of sports cars, top speeds are;

Datsun 2000  127
Datsun 1500  95
  The 1600 didn't list a top speed?

  The Brits;
MGA   100
MGA Twin cam  113
MGB   103
MGC    120
TR3  102
TR4  109
TR5 (TR250) 120 (with optional overdrive)
TR6  109
TR7  110
TR8  135
Spitfire  100
GT6  112
Austin Healey 3000  121 (with optional overdrive)

  The odd;
SAAB Sonett II (V4)  100
Volvo 1800ES  115
Alfa 1750 Spider  115

And just for laughs;
Cobra 289  138
Cobra 427  165
'67 Corvette  150
Ferrar1 365 GTS  150

  Just tried to pick a few from the same years as the roadster was produced.
