Officially 117...though I've seen one do 121 on a flat, 125 on a slight downhill.

There is something to be said for a nice comfortable car. They're very smooth, and even my old one could still get from DC to Charlotte on one tank of gas (and we aren't talking a gas saving 55mph either), would get about 18mpg with mixed city hiwy with a heavy foot. I imagine a mint 380SE would be a very nice car...mine's not mint...won't be a 380 for too much longer hopefully.
