now we're all responsible people here and we strictly "test" on private facilities, SO DONT GO AND TEST IT ON THE STREET
so how fast will your soarer go ?
I had mine on the 7060 rpm limiter in top (auto) with std ratio tt diff and 225/50/16 tyres
dont exactly know how fast it was as the speedo runs out of numbers but it felt damn fast |

I think this thread can cause trouble. I had mine at 200 down wakefield straight on a street cruise.. Had a hard time stopping for the corner though lol |

we dont need to explain where we did it, because we all know that it was in a dedicated area designed for high speed |

178 then the speed cut kicked in... not a nice feeling as the weight transfers expectantly, even on a nice safe designated area its scary. |

ive been 230km/h, pretty stable. 250km/h is possible on bone stock v8 soarer, providing there is no wind around |

194Kph at the back straight of Pukekohe but that was on my first ever outing at that track so should be able to do more next time with some less weight. |

Sounds familiar! Gotta love that access computer;)
SC400 (no limiter) has been just a hair under her top speed one one occasion. Felt impressively stable for what it is. |

so full tilt no limiter what should they do?
I know mine will easily do 250+ and calculations say i have been 290 but without anyway of reading that speed its pointless for me to claim it
Gotta say they feel real stable at high speed |

Ok..SC400..360+HP at the rear wheels(no limiter)How fast will it go?Why should i risk loss of my licence to find out? I tend to agree with Aaron,this type of thread could cause trouble and may give the wrong impression.We do not want to be seen as HOONS..Do We??? |

180 then nothing but I've been in a stock celsior that for some reason seemed to go quite a bit off the dial..... anyone else with a Celsior have a similar experience? |

John seems like were you holding you breath for too long before making that post!
hoons do stupid things on the street, everyone (apart from mike) in this thread is doing it in an area designed for high speed
so just chill out, as you dont want to be seen as the average ACA viewer do you ? |

Miles, I remember racing against a Celsior and the only way that I beat him was because I had no speed cut so I got to the corner first but damn that thing could move. Don't know what had been modified but I know it had a ugly body kit and at least a cat back exhaust. |

180 in the soarer
206 in the supra, 1/4 mile
230 on a naked bike at eastern creek. Literally forced me back a few inches the first time I came up into that wall of air.
Should give 250+ a go at Temora this year hopefully. |
