johnh875 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
They are claimed to be the fastest four door cars in the world at the time, and from what information I can find it is correct. The only possible opposition would be US Highway Patrol cars but they seem to top out around the 140mph mark so there would not be much in it. The Phase III would do 142mph on the rev limiter, remove it and they would do 155 reportedly. The official, rev-limited speed is equal to, or better than the Mercedes 300SEL 6.3, Jaguar XJ12 S1, Montiverdi, De Tomaso Deauville and Maserati Quattroporte which are all around the 140mph bracket.
