Car's probably modded and it is a downhill grade, looks and sounds very real otherwise, guy has balls, I've never been able to risk passing trucks on a high speed run

Who cares? Nice and cool vid. It might be an old vid, but till someone does something similar or better, this will suffice.

 

TURBO DAVES'S CAR - this will tell you the cars mods.

I think it was run in Europe, but don't know. It is on a downhill grade though.

 

wow!

 

Oldie but a goodie

The S2000 has a potential top speed of ~165mph assuming that it has standard gearing. The only way that this can be exceeded is if the final drive is changed or 6th gear is made taller.

That's not to say that this video is fake just that there is an error in the speedo.

 

yea, at that speed, a ten mph optimism is only ~ 6%, so it's possible.

 

Is there a way to figure out the speed with math, length of truck and length of s2 and how long it took to go by the truck, I am not, but someone out there may be able to figure it out?

 

There are lots of threads out there featuring this video. It's Belgium, on a (evidently) well known route:
Per le car (anyone heard from him lately?)

well there are quite a lot of threads in this board's archive on top speed, do a search if you want, but the highest speeds have been acheived on public roads (sorry ) by european drivers :
- Turbodave (from belgium) : 281 kmh, going downhill, on a 130kmh belgian highway (the video's in the library somewhere)
- Swiss2k : 274 kmh in germany, at night
- various portuguese owners : 271-274 kmh

I've been a few times to 262kmh, but still haven't found a long enough stretch of autoroute to go faster.
The key is to start from still and redline every gear, from a service station or a toll booth, for example.

I'm too lazy to convert all of this to mph, so if you want to do it, go to www.onlineconvertion.com

 

How fast will a stock S2000 go? The official topspeed i 241 kmh I guess thats a bit low isnt it? Will it do 270 kmh on the speedo?

 

i've done 152 mph wtih more room to go.
