Under ideal conditions any of these sleds are capable of speeds right around that mark.
170km x .621371192 = 105.6331023 miles per hour

i MAY have seen 85 on the speedometer.... but here in NW PA we dont have any lakes where you can wind them out and still be able to look at the speedometer without hitting something... they get there in a hell of hurry tho!

i seen 100 on my 01 srx a few weeks ago... it gets there a little quicker ;)
My airbox is held on by one screw, not because Im lazy but because it is less weight!

Your Vmax appears to have a slight wide kit since The strut covers are slightly outside the hood ?
