To get the TR-2 (?) to do 120, the factory fully faired the car - 
belly pan and tonneau cover I seem to recall.  I believe that stock 
top end was more like 100.

My TR-4 race car's fastest speed on the track is just shy of 130 - on 
the open road I MAY be able to get to 135 right before I blow it 
up...  :)  It gets to 100 pretty quickly, though.
