mine will hit the limiter in top, just havent done it yet....pulls a speedo 135 (true speed probly lower) b4 i back off, redline would most likely read a speedo 140.

I've never hit the limiter in 5th but have came close, was about 6750 rmp and readiing about 135 on the dials...

I find that (when in 5th) from about 80 mph the position of the needles on the speed and rmp clocks stay at the same positions,relative to eachother, as they move up thier ranges all the way to near redline. just something i've noticed :P

I took the valver up to 135 on a (private) dual carriageway tonight and whilst it wasn't yet bouncing off the limiter, I'm not convinced there was enough power left to get it there... (unless there was a big hill coming up!)

I got to 5k rpm in 5th and then the brick wall aerodynamics stopped progress.

mine pulls to 135mph on clocks VERY quickly,but then hits the limiter, it has the power to do soo much more but not the revs... :cry:

140mph indicated in 1.8, not done it with 2.0...will soon tho!

had 160mph indicated out of Noble M12 GTO 3R t'other day...totally different ball game, the car can actually handle it!

Yep, just a touch under 150mph indicated and 142 on the gps.

130mph indicated top speed nowadays though, so probably around 122-125mph genuine.
