I can only get 88mph out of mine - then the flux capacitor cuts in and it vanishes :laugh:

My Satnav has the capacity to store my top speed and so I never reset it unless I specifically want to check my top speed on a set piece of "tarmac"

I'm not disclosing it on here though :laugh: :laugh: :evil: :evil: and especially not disclosing where I did it :lipsrsealed: :rolleyes:

JBS did 146mph (satnav) whilst testing it, which equates to around 160mph on the speedo.

You'll go be arrested, tortured, executed and sent straight to hell if you do!

I've hit the limiter, so I guess 155. No animals or children were harmed in the process.

Any speeds over 120MPH seem to creep up very slowly, not as good top end performance as I originally thought.

....

143 mph on German unrestricted Autobahns - GPS.

Acceleration starts to get sluggish after 135 mph but she'll go all day at 130 mph. That was before my remap.

Oh and the Nurburgring.
