    Needless to say, with the limited downforce at the rear of either of these cars, if you were lucky enough to reach those speeds, you probably wouldnt survive it lol.
    ^^this^^ Standard shocks = doom they float... if you have better shocks than it helps but still tail happy and wondery
    Many want Power not many hold it long.........

    You'll get 250km/hr on an open stretch of a closed, private road.

    Interesting that the black car hit 260 on the speedo before it cut with standard tune running

    I have hit 277kph in my mps after hpf tune, top speed limiter disabled. Whether the speedo is right or wrong, I wouldnt have a clue. It was done with stock suspension and would never ever recommend it to anyone to try. It felt like there would have been about 10kg of weight from the car on the road at those speeds and hairy as all hell without the right suspension and wing set up for downforce.
    ps-Yes Matt this was done on a private racetrack in Lang Lang Victoria.
    ps- Wife is proof too lol

    Off topic but I remember I was able to hit about 180 kph+ near the start of Queensland Raceway first corner on the Mazda driver track day . Real speed might be ~170kph since the speedo is showing about 10kph overspeed.

    Top speed is really only good for talk.
    It has been covered, in depth, here before. Please use search.
    If you did search and found nothing, it was probably deleted because it is a waste of forum space.

    If you continue down this path, the next thing you ask us will be "Where do I buy a Powerchip?"
    Then you will tell us you have 240kw and can run low 12s with a standard turbo.

    Are you a go-carting champion of some sort?

    Nearly all men can stand adversity. But if you want to test a man's character - give him power.

    haha, And I read 50/50 mix of E85, spiking to 23psi and dropping down to 17psi.

    Technically, it's low 12s, but not exactly what I was getting at.

    Now, come on, someone else start running 12s.

    12.9 isn't low 12s.

    The OP of the original "top speed" thread claimed LOW 12's.

    I don't see anybody here with the balls or setups to get close to Troys 12.3, let alone try it on a stock turbo.

    would 12.3 be possible on a BNR S3 turbo? And Troy how do you launch yours, i'm just looking at ways of saving the clutch lol. Currently can only afford a BNR S3 or a Clutch upgrade not both lol
