Speedo will be out anyway, particularly at those speeds.

Best bet would be to either get to a rolling road or a track. The former will allow you to work out where your peak power is available and in conjunction with your gear ratios and rev limit, your theoretical top speed. The latter will allow you to drive fast in relative safety.
Top end runs in a road car and not only risky but also not particularly scientific.
