I have had my jetta (with a stock body) to a bit over 90. What do you think yours might do? Of course the salt flats are 3500 feet higher.

As a reference point our bicycle went 50 in Iowa on a public road in high humidity on a hot day with the bubble off it. Two weeks later went 66 at battle mountain About 3500 feet higher altitude.
