Yeah, its amazing how fast modern cars are. A while after I got my Skoda I wound it up to an indicated 120mph on er, my private racetrack. It could probably take a little more (not near the red line yet). Thats in a little diesel shopping car normally driven by the Elderly which looks like ass.

Its definately not something I'd try in a non-german foreign country. In fact, over 100mph isn't something I'd recommend in my car. The aerodynamics, brakes and suspension just can't take it, captain.
