2.2 What'll she do mister?

I am quoting performance figures from magazines that I manage to dig up. Your results may vary widely (or wildly). Japanese and US cars are limited to 180 Km/h (~112mph).

There are a lot of gaps in this chart. If you can provide published figures for stock cars (magazines, web, etc) please let me know.
