Subaru BRZ Owner Surpasses Claimed Top Speed - Does 152 MPH / 244.6 KM/H

Subaru claims that their BRZ has a top speed of 143 mph (230 km/h), and a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of 7.6 seconds. However, a BRZ owner has set out to prove that the little sports car can, in fact reach a higher top speed than that claimed by the manufacturer.
The owner, posted a run on his Youtube channel, where it can clearly be seen that the car reaches 152 mph (244.6 km/h), or it just nudges 152 mph, despite the digital speedo showing 1 mph less. The owner claims that the speed was verified by GPS, and that the run took place on an autobahn - the owner is either British or American, so that may not be the case, and he may just have taken his car on 'the autobahn'
