In all honesty, that was the speedometer reading, so it's a bit off. But
considering that I GPS-ed it at 80km/h and at 140km/h and the
speedometer was off by less than 5km both times, 220km/h was pretty
close to the actual speed.

Keep in mind that the EXR has 145hp and 152lb of torque, so it's a bit
more powerfull than the EX or LX of the same generation (130hp, not sure
about the torque).
