155mph. Handles like crap. Not what you would expect for a car built here in Germany. My little Honda handles better at all speeds and cost me half the money. :thumbsdown: If your not used to driving at high speeds, I wouldn't recomend taking it up to them. Straight aways and no wind.

I find it handling quite good, and gets more sticky to the road...and that's with RF tires (like big achievement). I wonder how you actually feel?!
