Topped Out

[S Pack]

As the title and under my name suggests, I went for a Sunday drive here in Germany. I didnt beleive it when told they actually limit your cars here. I drove a distance of 200km in 1hr 15min. Before anyone says anything about the figures, there was parts on the journey where slowing down was necessary, like when not on the Autobahn Duh! The car held 230kph (speed limiter) for most of the trip without breaking a sweat. I been told removing the limiter is a serious crime here, but some cars I have seen fly past us when we sit on 200kph.

Just wondering what anyone from out west, (as im east coast in Oz when home) where there are no speed restrictions on certain areas of roads, gets up to. Also how comfortable and safe they feel driving at those speeds.

I need to try driving an Opel here as well.

I think the last of the limitless roads were posted with 130s weren't they? And all other implied limits are 100.

I may or may not have topped my VP out at 200, and if I did, it certainly didn't feel safe

on the test track my vy11 crewy topped out at 215 then dropped into top gear and felt good

the other night i went for a drive in my mates skyline and without even thinking about it we were at 250ish...the speedo only goes to 180 but the needle nearly came back to 0 again...and my old VP got the shakes at 180 on the same road...and it took a while to get there too...not like the 33 where it just bang ur there...

*these were performed on a private road under controlled conditions*

my vu ss hit 255km/h still had a bit more in it would like to see how it goes now its blown and my ve ssv hit 250 easy and was still pulling prity good

i've had the calais to 210 no worries and could have gone a fair bit more i recon, was only sitting just under 3750rpm and clicked into top gear at around 190 and was all smooth sailing from there, still felt reasonably safe. on the auto barn i would say it could sit on 220km/h quite easially... might have to try it out one day.

The fastest ive gone in my VR was 180, and it did it with relative ease, no shaking etc.

Slowed the **** down cause the road surface began to change up ahead, so i thought i would be wise to slow down to the speed limit and not push my luck.

But what i have been told with cars over in Europe (Germany espically with the AutoBahn) all cars have governors on them, but each car has a different speed govern, a Lambo might be restricted to 300 Ks whereas you car is 220. Not 100% sure though.

Had my VH cruising at 180k's smooth as.....that had a 173 5 spd in it with a 3.08 diff....was only bout 4000rpm in 5th.....when I put the 3.36 diff in I got to about 160 in 5th at the same revs.

my vr ss tops at 210k only coz of the gov. in it. ill be gettin that out of there soon tho. but it felt as safe as drivin at 100k.
