Have been to 115 on the Fl turnpike!
Still felt like plenty of room under the pedal.

After sorting through all the expert / amateur opinions in this thread, I've scientifically concluded why SoCal's HHR is soooo fast.... 
It's the stubby antenna, folks!! Gotta be worth at least 20 MPH on the top end!! :)
So... I ordered one of the previously guarded speed-secret antennas!!
Look out world!!!
