I disagree with the 93 HP I have had my SM pushing 120 right here on Rt 80.




On my America, 115 on the speedometer is 105 on the radar gun. I had a bit more available, but didn't feel conditions were right for using it. There have been a number of studies showing that, above about 35 MPH, drag is the main factor in limiting speed and it increases as the square of speed. That means, to go twice as fast, you need a 4X increase in power.
