actual speed vs. indicated speed are two different things.

Was your 110-111 what you saw on the speedometer?

This data is correct. Too bad that site no longer supplies such information.
automobile-catalog.com has the data though:

Since this is a turbo hp is whatever suits your fancy. Eyeballing it also implies 300 km/hr=186mph.
