Just came back from a little road trip across Europe and I have to say I absolutely love my car....
Due to traffice I did not manage to close the speedo but still went quite quickly....
At its highest my speedo displayed 183 MPH which is over 3 miles a minute....or over 82 meters every second....
The best bit is that the car still had lots of power left in it - I had to back off due to traffic ahead.....

I did a roadtrip to Augsburg last year - generally did about 150 where I could, got to 170 a few times, and managed to get to around 185 on one occasion when the traffic cleared (for a minute...).
They're exiting cars at speed aren't they, even when you're going that fast it's as if the engine is just getting into it's stride

Lukewooster, is yours a standard spec car or have you modified it to give extra power?

From my own experiences at the weekend I'm not surprised about this.
The 183 speedo read was probably a genuine 170 so on adecent stretch you probably had another 5-10 mph to find.

Car is absolutely standard.....
The way it should be if you ask me..... someone a lot more clever than me designed it and I intend to leave it this way....
I love it!!!
