Can I ask how you measured the speed? That seems a bit fast.

Top road speed is listed at 40 and I never was able to get a 113 above that.

The speedometers on our 113's were off a lot due to the vibrations and abuse and I don't think we ever used them in convoy. We just had pacer vehicles and intervals.
