Ive hit 135 in a standard 16v.

I managed to blag a test drive on my own in a new Jetta 16V in around 1987. I remember seeing an indicated 135mph on a downhill stretch, with a bit more to come.

I don't think I've been over 80mph in my current valver. If you go too fast, less people get to see how cool it looks.

Had just over 120mph out of my 8v on the sat nav.

I have hit the rev limiter in 5th in my mk2 16v turbo, drove it flat out for about a mile gently bouncing off the limiter, clocks showed about 147, no rattles or anything, just fast!!

Not 100% how accurate the clocks are though...

Did you not think it sounded as if it was about to explode? Mine does... and then does haha

So basically, If you are a 5 star General on here the 16v only goes about 110-115   
But if ya just live on here or a regular then they go 155+

Theoretically the top speed is about 145MPH assuming a 7200RPM rev limit and 195-50-15 tyres.
