my new top speed on the german autobahn today... (pic from my passanger)

coments?

 

How did the S2K feel at that speed? What were the conditions like?

 

the feel is not very good, the s02 pp is not a highspeedtire in 16"...

the conditions are good today, no traffic (germans sunday)

 

My comment is that either the conversion is wrong or the tac is not 100% accurate at those speeds due to tire diamiter.

I know for a fact that red line in 6th guear on the car is 165 drag limited to 150-155. So unless you were going down hill or put a higher top guear in its not 100% accurate at that speed.

Though I am not trying to detract from the of the speed you were traveling!

Your passenger must have been like what is he thinking?!

 

Yeah, what was the RPM? Were you going downhill?

 

I thought there were some people who have gotten their cars into the 170's on dynos? I know there is no drag in this environment, but this indicates that the topspeed is over 165.

I also thought we had reports of someone at around 162-163mph???

Just wondering?

Swiss2K - You are crazy my man!!!

 

You guys have some super vision cuz I cannot clearly read what the speedometer says.

 

The rev limiter should hit at 169 - 170. Even accounting for our optimistic speedometer readings he was clearly over 160.

 

And you appear to have done this at night!

Balls. Deathwish?

In the US, I would understand, but on the autobahn where police are not an issue, I would have waited for sunrise on Sunday. Might have gotten a better picture to boot.

For the voyeurs here... how about a video panning from speedo to what it looks like out the windshield? We americans want to live this stuff vicariously.

Dan.

 

274 kmp x .6= 164.4mph I believe it
