There are many countries with modern cop cars that will reach speeds well above that old thing.
And I'd bet a paycheck that old thing couldn't hit a true 161mph on a GPS no matter how long and straight the road.
It takes large % power gains at speed just for a few MPH- the fast you claim, the greater the rate of power increase.
The vast majority of people you hear say they had an old car that would do 1xx are full of it. Indicated on a speedo is NOT reality.
Just like guessing power made- there is no real answer other than a dyno or GPS for speed. Both are notorious heartbreakers- and many avoid them as they don't want to know the truth!
