240, 250, 255, either way, I have read that unlimited standard they will hit 280...thats pretty bloody quick for a non lowered car, with no smooth panels underneath or a effective diffuser at the rear to suck the thing to the ground....

Top speed doesn't care about the fact that 1800kg is a lot to accelerate, top speed only cares that ~300kW is quite a lot of power. :)

Sounds about right. VicPol Highway Patrol tested 4 VY SS's when they were introduced, 274-281kph.
