No offense but I'd have to ask how accurate your speedometer is at those speeds. Also, what kind of mods have you made to the engine? Everything I've read on the forum so far indicates that these numbers simply aren't likely with a factory stock car.

Just wondering?

Stock MY01 (SPA) my top speed to date was 156mph on a long back road. Im sure i could have hit 160+mph but it was almost dark out and didnt want to chance anything.. To many damn animals out here!! It takes forever to get there but im sure it could do it.

Speedometer error is a wonderful thing. It increases as mph increase.

I was radar gunned (test on deserted road by an actual laser) at 152mph (stock), no aero parts. Not entirely comfortable in this car at those speeds. It wanders.
Anything over 150-155 (accurately) and you're probably being towed by a Pagani Zonda. This car will not reach actual 170mph on a flat surface bone stock without some serious modifications.

255km/h indicated here... plus or minus a few (hey, I didn't spend much time looking at the dash at that speed)

260kmh 8400rpm Autobahn. Ever since I got new tyres I haven't been able to top 253 or so.

iv heard that with the whole OEM body kit(including hardtop) your top speed will increase by a little...im not sure though
Agreed. My speedo is about 3 mph optomistic at 80. Speedos usually are off by about the same PERCENTAGE across the band so that would be 6 mph at 160, which is about 10 km/h as he said
