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

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

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!

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 ?
