By no means do I endorse or recommend this to ANYONE on an open, non-closed coarse, but here's some info for you speed daemons.
*** I hold myself harmless of any negligence caused by the information below ***
If anyone is curious, the 5.7L V8 Land Cruiser 200 can easily reach it's top governed speed of 130. Very surprisingly, it is QUITE stable at that speed and drives extraordinarily well. It was in either 5th or 6th gear at about 3500-4500 RPMs. The driver does not remember the exact tach reading, but it was nowhere near redline.
Without a governor, the LC200 could easily do 140-160mph, but I wouldn't push it.
It's quite surprising to me at least that a 6000+ lbs. vehicle can even reach those speeds and remain stable. Not to mention that it handles amazingly well off-road and on-road as well. It's truly a "Land Cruiser" for all purposes with the utmost versatility.
Have fun guys and stay safe!!!
