Haven't been over some 90 or so in mine but this is a tame US weenie van 
not a European spec van.  Have little doubt 105 is rather easily 
obtainable.  at 80 its doing fine.  Red line would put it probably at 
over 115 I think.  Air resistance force does go up rather quickly.  
Square of speed sounds possible but this 'underpowered' van is not a 
wimpy little van.  How a European spec panel is geared I don't know and I 
don't live where I can safely exceed 100 mph anymore.
