its pretty much drag and power limited. Ive had my xA up to about 115MPH. (im not recommending this for ANYONE to try, i did it once out of curiosity and thats it!) It could alittle bit more but i held off because its scary shooting down the highway at those speeds. My car only has an intake, exhaust and header.

112 stock
126 (radar proven) with IHE
and 129 with boost...(felt like it had 2-3 more in it...)
There was Feb 2006 comparison of the xB, Element, HHR and PT Cruiser in Car and Driver. They said the xB top speed was "drag ltd" to 111 MPH. So without power mods, long downhill, and/or tail wind don't expect to go faster.
The owner's manual says never to exceed 85 MPH regardless of the legal limit. Not sure if it's to cover a low speed rating for tires or something else.

what altitude was it tested at...
what was the weather that day, (humidity, bar press, temp)...
and the weight of the driver/equipment....
did it have a wing or not...
the end result is that it is limited by drag/ power/ gearing
in my xa i stopped after about 110, it simply takes too long and wastes way to much gas, which in my opinion defeats the purpose of the car...but then again, at over 100, one is not really worried about getting good mpg
