Top down? Does the radar gun need to be recaliberated or what?

Did you guys watch the Mischief 3000 for this year? There is a Porsche doing 208mph!! I don't know if it was the RuF R or not, but it was crazy. The camera was shaking and all while they were filming the speedo!

I think I've seen what you're talking about. I had a video from Gumball 2000 I think where a guy in a Ruf Twin Turbo hits 206, maybe not the same thing, but sick none the less...

By my estimates, it would take close to 800 HP to come close to that speed in that Corvette - I think it is BS.

If you change the gears, it might not take that much power.

I am not sure exactly what gears or how much hp though.

Cops dont like me doing top speed runs anymore so I havent been out since I got my new gears installed.
