car was smooth as glass at those speeds. and no I will not do it again, as it is a really stupid thing to do.

Hmmm... I thought the gov. was supposed to control the top speed.... not the fuel cut-off when you redline...... Correct??

I have gone up to 235kph myself (in my 4port Challenge), while a friend of mine reached 245kph (with a 6port) on the same stretch. I don't think there was any room left for even 1kph more....
And just f.y.i: max theoretical speed of the 8 (both 4port and 6port) according to ratios and final drive is just sort of 300kph (297kph to be exact)
