Hey, please don't get defensive about top speed, I wasn't trying to have a ' my balls are bigger than yours' arguement !!!
  I realised that I was going to have lost top speed, but I didn't realise that it would have been that much, hence my disappointment. That 165 was also on the speedo, so in real terms it was probably even slower ! 
 Lets face it.... How often am I going to get to do 165 ( or even anywhere near that on a day to day basis on our roads )  
 I totally agree with you though... it's not about straight line top speed, more how quickly it gets there ! 
 Hope you haven't taken offense
