?? 150+ mph with top down on stock S2000? Were you driving downhill? Noway you will hit that speed in stock S2000 with top down.

Ain't gonna happen sorry.

Hi BelgiumPaul, it's been a while! Perhaps you could show me your private road and we will check our speeds alongside

My private road is very twisty and I can do no more than 160 km/h

And I have been caught speeding last week, still waiting for the price to pay It will all depend on 1 km/h, so it will be or 60

top up:

ap2 is gear limited to about 150-155mph.

ap1 will get between 150-160mph drag limited. this will vary depending upon hill grade, wind strength, and wind direction.
