I'm not sure I've seen any real tests of how fast it goes stock without the limiter. Although, I have seen 'guesses' of around 170 based on RPM and how the car feels.
I'm sure people on this forum has seen this video on youtube:



It looked like the car has a little bit left but not much. So I agree with other posters here that probably 165 maybe 170 with a bit of a downhill or tailwind is probably where the car would top out. Pretty smoking for a 4 door sedan! Mine you my last family car was a Ford Taurus station wagon so I feel like I am driving a rocket ship in comparison.
