      170 - 180 on the speedo.

      The speedo over reads around 10mph at those sort of speeds though...

          I assume that was on a private test track you own BY the A30 was it!? :bigcry:

          I've had 162'ish on the clock out of mine with plenty left :thumbs:

          Edit to add mine has a factory re-limit on it but I personally haven't gone faster yet.

            Better not to advertise top speed exploits on UK roads I would imagine.:whistle:

              I've hit the limiter a few times which is 162mph on gps, showing about 170mph on the speedo, gets there pretty easily so i would imagine 175-180 is possible.

                    Hit the limiter indicating 165(ish) on the clock, which is a pretty accurate 155 on GPS. I have heard some rumours that 190 is possible with a delimit. Not sure how true this is since the CSL doesn't have the most aerodynamic front bumper in the world, although the gearing would suggest that it is possible. If someone has the gear ratios and diff ratio, I'll calculate the exact theorectical maximum speed.

                      I've had 185 (Speedo) on the autobahn, it takes a long time to squeeze the top end out though.

                            175-180mph (GPS) is absolutely it. With a standard car any more is not possible.

                              Unlss dropped from a great height, and even then 180 ~200 mph is about max for a free falling body in normal atmosphere !
                              I got up to that speed once , head down though !!:smokin: never done it in a car yet !
