Your top speed?
An effortless 148 mph (per my gps) in my 2005 Jaguar XKR. Love my 986s, but I really miss my XKR with its supercharged 4.2 liter V8. It was a true luxury GT (and my daily driver when we returned to Houston after our 10 year expatriation).

I haven’t had the chance to take my 986 over 100 mph.
