A stock '91 Miata can hit 120 fairly easily (with the top UP-- with the top
down, I was having trouble getting to 115).  That's measured by the vehicle
speedometer-- I hope never to get that measured with a radar gun :-).  I've
never had enough road to hit higher than that.
 
You run out of gearing at 135.

Matt,
	You run out of gear at 135 but I don't. Remember you have a 4.30 to
1 rear end gear, I have a 4.10 to 1 rear end gear and a "larger" engine.
Not to mention a VERY free flowing exhaust. ;)

Now, lets see... with the chin spoiler so I'm still able to steer, a
free-flow exhaust, an improved airbox....

	Sounds like the ticket to me. ;)
