Personally Ive been between 130 and 140MPH on the track at Oulton, I found the car was still pulling strongly when it was time to slow down for the next corner.
On the Hyabusa do you guys know that over here in the UK we can get a Westfield Hyabusa, a 500KG car with the Hyabusa engine in it, scary!!!!

There were a total of 13 votes for 170+ with one retraction. Unless I am missing something, the only way your going to get that is with regearing and/or bigger wheels along with the power to get you there. With power alone you are still going to hit the rev limiter. Someone enlighten me if I am in error.

I've hit 140mph with no problem at all, and wouldn't have difficulty believing 160 stock from some cars given they are going to vary from car to car.

246km/h = 153mph but normal is 130mph+ if possible on the German highway. And never over the speed limit.

. I have to step on the brakes for people who decide to change into my lane, when I approach at a much higher speed, quite a bit more often than I had to a few years ago.
It's also weird that most people seem to notice an approaching Porsche a lot better than the S2000 in their rear view mirrors.
Und du haeltst dich auch wirklich immer minutioes an die Geschwindigkeitsregeln?!
Nebenbei gesagt glaube ich, dass mit der 130er Richtgeschwindigkeit kmh, nicht mph gemeint sind
. Scherz
. Fahr vorsichtig

1) reading is in km/h
2) major downhill
Changing the size of the wheels will not help - the speedo is not based on actual car speed but rather driveshaft speed.
