How have you mounted the camera?

I also love how your passenger is not at all fazed by these speeds and passing other cars so quickly. She almost seems bored! hahaha

Underbody pan? Lowered?

The theoretical top speed of our cars in stock form is just a tad over 150mph due to aeroynamic limits. Something is smoothing the airflow here. And supplying horsepower.

Interesting, I never thought about aerodynamics affecting our top speed.

At some point when I miraculously get my shit together I'd like to get a Puddymod front slitter and some sort of rear diffuser.

Impressive, but on the 274kph run:

Looks like a downhill.

Speedo speed > actual speed and we don't know what tires.

This is what I thought also. Ik with some forced induction you can def hit those speeds. Without that it feels like you hit a wall of air lol.
