I clocked it on a closed highway.
Was a f*cking buzz going that fast.
I'm guessing I got close to 240kph.

Please remove street names and places from ur posts.
If u don't post the place, we will asssume these high speeds were conducted on a race track or private land.
Btw we have had posts like this b4, so its on the verge of being deleted. But if u stick to wat i said it "may" be able to stick around.
Don't ruin it.

well i have taken my one to 195, when my calais was stock.
One thing i want to know is that Do you end up stuffing up the speedo on your car, if you clock it?
i heard someone once say to me that if you clock the speedo that it will stuff up your speedo pretty bad, is this True????

My mate clocked his Nissan SSS with me in it and the speedo seemed normal after that.... he went way beyond what the limit was which is 200km. I thought the speedometer would get stuck back there and stuff up but it didnt.

did 200 or so in a mustang @ sandown raceway on one of the easternats days
i lined up for about 25 minutes for a ride, but it was very worth it
(i dont think my post needs editing because it is a raceway)

185km/h legally ( under siren ) on a public freeway in a Falcon Wagon.
The Falcon 6s have a cut out at that speed,scares the daylights out of you too.
the V8s don't have a limiter
