From 100-160km/h is fairly quick but from then it just goes up fairly gradually, just pushes and pushes, prob got around 5700rpm or so, cant remember, wasnt really looking at the dash either i was too freaked to take my eyes off the road, was just hanging on tight to the wheel. Cut our trip down by about 5 mins easily though LOL (hardly worth it is it!) Had to do it just once though.
Your looking at prolly another 20km/h + on top of your 200 now you have taken that uber wing off?
common fella's leave him alone and VL 2 GO will give it a try tonight, on the way home from work,
i didn't rev out totally was trying to keep op with a VN SS he went flying past at 170km/h but the little old calais just keep holding on, and he wasn't getting much futher in front! will see how it goes and let u know

Then the quater mile ended, have never been game enough to gone any quicker So i don't know what top speed i could do? Anyone think they can guess what it could do?

two words!.. M1, 4am!
kinda sucks when your auto tranny jumps from 2nd to 4th.. VEry breifly (0.0001 of a second) hitting 3rd .. too many revs lost

ok i was hitting 5000 rpm @ 170 odd km/h mind you i have a 5spd manual with a automatic ecu and wiring harness.... have to find out why it revs out too much.

lol this thread is going from bad to worse. I don't rev mine out to see how far i can rev it. For drags off lights i put the azuto in first and rev to 5500rpm, then change into second. VL's i think redline at 6200rpm?? That correct?
Well i am probably just another lieing idiot who talks big but any ways i had my VL off the clock, so it managed at least to get to 200 even if the speedo is out, cause it went a fair way past it, And for reving it out i did it once by accident (every one saying how ****head) when i was doin a really decent burnout and it was at about the 6ish mark which i know is stupid and i dont believe i will ever do that to my crapbox baby again.
But its already been said alot i just wanted to add some more useless text lol

180kmh to 200kmh is the realistic top speed of an Good cond standard NA VL.
Yeah it wasnt a standard vl and there were 2 other cars there trying to clock it...which was explained already...believe what u want.

i had my n/a 5 speed off the clock in 4th still had 5th gear to go, and it just keeps pulling, complements of a big LUMPY CAM lol
now its turbo and goes off the clock in 4th with 5psi ever quicker, alot scarier though it feels faster than it actually is
Good to see all you guys have ran your cars down the 1/4 mile to get these top speeds! :P
I had no idea this question would get sooo many replies, Thanks all.
BTW i'v got up to 190 in my wagon.
160k/mh in my 6cyl VC commy.. lol flat chat.
200 in my old VLT.
Havent pushed my current one.. i know what 200 and over feels like, a few times now. Scary.
hahahah it would be funny if someone on this forum was a po po hahahah "police man" he wouldnt be laughing i dont think lol. but they anoy me they gave me a $600 fine for excessive loss of traction hhhrrrrrrrmmmm damn new zealand po po's

Enough road? Sounds like you need to get that rig of yours boosted a bit, getting to speeds like that is just a blur these days!
