Same as pre-map

You're limited by the gearing and aerodynamics

The biggest change is how quickly you get there

I hit 146 (on a private runway) in mine with a map, that was on sat nav, :lipsrsealed: speedo was over 150
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Would a six speed box make this faster? Or would each gear just be shorter?

A six speed box will give a higher top speed
