Something must have been ridiculously wrong in that report or their testing.
The only excuse for that is their inability to actually reach max speed due to other components. At Cd 0.19, and 2200 lbs, with 115HP that car should have had no problem exceeding 125MPH.
Once again - My '88 Civic had 92HP from the showroom floor, probably much less by the time I got it, and weighed ~2,000. I could do 125MPH with a Cd of something like .3
