Has anyone managed to squeeze 186mph (300km/h)
Just a totally random question, but I was curious to see if anyone has heavily modified their S2000 to make it capable of 186mph+. If so, pictures, videos and specifications would be nice!

The ap1 is gear limited to 165mph and the ap2 is gear limited to 151mph.
Without changing the ring & pinion, you can't get above those speeds.
(note there are some vids showing an s2k at 170+ mph, but the extra speed shown on the dash was from speedo error)

I'm not certain (didn't actually do the math), but I think my car would pull 186 if we dropped in a set of 3.90's, though without some aero aids it would be too scary for me.

186 is dangerous..... I did 130ish once, I thought about continuing, but didn't want my pictures to show up online.

i've hit 155 with a smidge of 6th gear left, so I agree that 186mph would need a lower ratio gear and a good aero kit.
