142 mph? Around here (Stuttgart, Germany) on the autobahn, that’s cruising speed. I normally keep it to 85-90 mph, and I periodically get passed like I am standing still.

Yep - I've seen videos of a 6-cylinder Camry hitting 144 - I can believe it because I had one and it pulled strong as it passed 120.

My little 2 liter Mercedes would do it if it weren't governed...
