My NA topped out at an indicated 116 or so with the top down. Didn't seem to
be any stability issue at that speed though.
I've had the NB around 120 allot of times (very stable) but haven't taken
the risk to hold her down long enough to see what she's capable of. The
value of a (even a very good) radar detector is pretty much nil at those
speeds.

I would like to know though!

I was not aware that the Miata was capable of speeds above 120mph. I
actually have always thought that they top out just below 110mph or
so. Have I been wrong all these years? (Not that I am interested in
checking it out in my '97 M-edition; I save the triple-digit speeds
for my Ducati on the racetrack.)
