Out of France, 290 on the clock might be feasible, no ?
Maybe down hill with the wind behind you. I think Aeroman and Mr Tony have done some timed speeds and 150-160 MPH seems to be max but as you suggest som re earing may improve on that. Are you thinking of trying?
The Gendarmes were stoned by the speed of the car and found the look stunning. Then, they offered me a coffe and after a tour of their facilities we went for a friendly lunch.
The only point was that that speed was made on a new stretch of motorway, still closed to public. However, a small group of car nuts were kindly invited for a maiden drive a few days before the garnd opening and the Gendarmes were keen to test their equipment
