Default s2000 top end

I does look like he is going down hill but that calculates to 172MPH. Does that seem right? I thought that the S was drag limited to around 150MPH.

P.S. That takes some fairly large stones! IMHO

holy shat!
Are you boosted or something?
Was that down a hill, wind assisted with FI and different gears?
I thought 145'ish was all it would do stock?

no it was a 7 mile road dead straight and flat as a board. took me about 4 miles lol to get there. i'm running an i/h/tp/e with an axialflow shifter. no boost yet
i just had the normal bolt ons. had about 400 rpm left in 6th gear.
