Though mine is bone stock, I had it up to 144 mph yesterday, unless there is a malfunction in the speedometer. The tires are aftermarket, damn good Cooper radials rated for 150 mph but that is the only not stock parts on this vehicle with 130,000 miles on the clock.

Many potential explanations. Could be tailwind, slight downhill, smaller wheel/tyre diameter than stock, error in the speedometer itself, engine producing more power than stock (for whatever reason), conservative or underestimated data from the factory etc...

Maybe the top speed is for auto box version which limits top speed due to shorter ratios.
