Rumor has it this car is hitting 178mph at the end of the front straight in Indy yesterday.
Also a good article and interview with Maylander (driver of the f1 pace car):

Maylander: "I have to drive 99% up to my limit. I can't drive over my limit - that extra 1% is to make sure I'm safe."
"The F1 drivers know I have to drive really hard in a much slower car, but if they push me then I know I can drive a little bit quicker. We have to play together."
