Top Speed?

Ok, so i know this thing is not going to set any land speed records, however, I was just curious what happens to be the top speed you have achieved?
When the road show came to my town, i did get up to about 75 and was still be passed by other cars...until i realized the smart I was in was canadian and had kilo rather than MPH. LOL

I had the chance to drive one a few weeks ago and I got it up to 70 MPH (it wasn't my car so I didn't want to go too fast When mine comes I am going to see how it handles around 75/80 which is the speed I normally drive on the highway. It is electronically limited so I imagine it should be fine at top speed (just a guess though). I noticed the same thing when I did the road tour. I was probably only going 15 mph on the backroads!! hope you get your car soon!

I have 1600 miles on my Cab and I have driven at all speeds the car is able to go. I have driven at 89.9 MPH which is the top speed my GPS reads. Even at the highest speed on windy days ,the car tracts fine. It is better at any speed than my 2007 Jeep Wrangler.
