We all know that a speedo is not very accurate over 100mph but Click Here to get a general idea. (5.5 meg file). All the online converters say that 280 = 174mph, is this correct?

There have been lots of people posting over the time I've been here saying what they have seen.

TBH I don't think it has ever actually been agreed upon due to things like recording errors, calibration etc etc.

Unfortunatley I can't download the file you've linked to as I'm on dial up doing the dutiful son thing at the folks place.

Well he maxed out at 9000rpm in 6th.

Is it me or does the car not seem to be going that fast when it goes past the lorrys

markS2kcU

total fecking nutter doing that speed on a public road....unless it was an autobahn

papa5murf

well to my knowledge.. the cars top speed is around 155mph... which is drag limited.... and redlining in 6th gear is around 175mph.. give and take a few mph here and there..

Was definitely on the continent somewhere - but I saw a blue-and-white horizontally-striped flag zip past at the beginning: Hellas (Greece?)

I thought that last lorry came up plenty quick enough!!

Gos up to 281km/h which is around 170mph

I think the car is supercharged
