I remember racing my mate in his F8B mighty boy and I was in my F6A hatch, and we were doing 130 easy! My mate got my hatch up to 175 once :-o

Digital speedo goes to 199. :) You can also use a GPS to tell you your speed, which is actually more accurate than the speedo.

My mate had a car next to him telling out the speed, I took it past 140 once, sure looked funny seeing a hatch speedo off the clock :lol:

Yeah i've had my boy with the F8B up to 140ish...
i never took the F5A that quick, it sounded like it was gonna jump out of the bonnet at 100kph!

yeah it used to take my mates F5A about 4 kays to get from 40-105... man thats was slow. then we'd hit a slight incline on the motorway :x

haha

had my f5a up to 160k before the speedo drive destroyed the cable,
scary as hell though, the little suzi has a tendancy to float past 130k
which make steering a little hard to do,
if your planning to do those speeds you have to put on a front spoiler.

160 kph in an f5a, was that downhill in a vacuum chamber with additional nos ?
