well i went past 180kmh pretty easy and have gone as far as 7500rpm in 5th....

and as my dials still read in KMH i dunno how fast it was going, but i know my dials are almost spot on cause i have had em tested due to a speeding fine i contested and won :p

Done 110 in my n/a, doesn't feel safe like in the newer cars, don't think am going to do that again but the car loved it. The back box sounds very different at 100plus as sound like a jet engine plane taking off on a runway. Had a good run with a fiesta st :p

got 100 out of the n/a ep85 in 5th at 5000rpm and still pulling. But didnt feel that safe and it was with 13 inch wheels aswell, although the gearbox in the ep85 aint built for speed or fuel saving, she drank alot that night :thumbsup:

I managed to get 165mph at a top speed event. At the event you had to go from a standing start and only had 1000 meters to get her up as high as you can. An extra bit of track woulda maxed the gear box.

Hoping to get 175mph this year with the new upgrades.
