What's the top speed of your turbo Miata?
Has anyone reached a new top speed in the Miata post-turbo? I want to turbocharge mine but I'd like to be able to get a lot closer to that 140 on the speedo.
So if you know your top speed, please post it. I'm trying to see how fast a Miata could go with 200-250 hp.

First time I ever was dumb enough to try a top speed run, I hit 122 IIRC, with the headlights up and top down, put the barn doors down and got an extra 2-3mph.
The next and last time I was dumb enough to try, I made it to 132MPH (132 indicated, 128 GPS), top down. This was stock. Took a while to get there..

Was wondering the same thing myself, actually, so I've had it at an indicated 135 mph twice this week. Really wanted to bury the needle, but ran out of room the first time, and came into traffic the second. The car could definitely go faster than where the speedo ends at 140. Don't know how indicated compares to actual though, but assume that indicated speed is greater than actual.
I'm really proud of the old girl. She spent quite a lot of time at 10+ psi in 5th gear on multiple occasions, without issue
Have been faster in other vehicles (94 rx7, e class). Definately been faster on my gsxr.
