How fast have any of you taken your MINI's? Both cooper and cooper s? Do you think they would go faster than what the governor limits them to?

135mph on US 27 in South Florida and got hit with a laser by a Sheriff doing 119mph on my way to O-Town. He was cool and let me go with a $42.00 Illegal Tint ticket. He liked the car and never saw one up close. Thanks MINI.
