A nice "loose your licence" run...
EDIT : DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME : EDIT
Yesterday I just could not resist any longer.
I clear stretch of highway, clear as in no cars or trucks in sight.
So...
Shifted back to 4th to 5th and let "her" go all the way in 6th.
241 km/h.
It happened reasonably quick, a good feeling.
Then some cars were getting close fast so I slowed down.
The speedo is dead accurate up till 100 km/h, I've calibrated it with a GPS.

I have no experience redlining in 6th at stock. 241kph is about 149mph. Highest I've gone in the S is 130mph. That was scary enough for me. A radar detector couldn't save me if I was going that fast.

Why was it scary?
Lots of other cars around, bumpy road?
Honestly, I felt comfortable at that speed, no vibrations, just a lot of noise.
If it was legal to drive that fast I would have driven a bit longer at that speed.
IMO the S2000 can handle more.
Its a tough, well build, little 2 seater

I was scared because if caught going over 100mph, it's manslaughter and I'd be going to jail. No cars and a straight freeway of course. I'm old enough to not do retarded stuff anymore.
