Must be true, you can see the motion blur on the fuel gauge needle as it rapidly descends to zero.........:D

Somehow I can remember going up to approx. 5500 rpm @ 155mph when iI was in Germany and not just touching 5k.

Scooter will be able to tell what the revs should be at that speed.

29 mph per 1,000rpm

159.5mph at 5.500prm

I'm calling fake on that one...

The road outside isn't blurred, at that speed it would be.

;)

So with the Speedo not being 100% accurate you're looking at 5.5K at least to see 155 mph on the counter.

Must be fake just for that alone then :)

Still makes a damned good pic though!

All we need is a bit of space and a cameraman and we can get a real one!

I'd volunteer if someone is brave enough to hang outside the car at 155MPH.:D

well the cars max speed is like 157... so would have thought 155 would be close to 5k+ or closer to 6k revs.

but yeah, test dials :)

4800 rpm is 139.2 mph. Have seen 5800 rpm in top on my car with more to go but backed off to keep revs down. There are two cars out there that would go to 6200 plus in safety if the limiter was off. The limiter stops the danger of tyre damage and at 180 mph plus it would be very dangerous.:~

I'm quite happy with the limiter left on :)

Unless you do 11s

Well 11s for 6 meters, and 1s for 28 meters :D

I had that, in Germany.

Yes it does do 155
Yes it is limited to 155
Yes it feels like it can handle more
and yes................it does it over 5000 rpm

I love this car:love:love
