i did 185 in my '95 Corolla csi, and that was in 3rd gear and there was still the overdrive, which has a MASSIVE gear ratio, which boggles me sometimes, because unless you supercharge it you can never redline the overdrive or come close on a flat straight. and i only did 185 cos a truckie pulled out in front of me >.< . if it was going to make a difference i would have rammed him
as for my lancer, still havent cracked the 170 mark yet, on account of not finding anywhere to redline 4th yet (or havent had the chance to more like it. not driving round at 3am as much these days). did bout 160 in 3rd then changed because i dont have a tacho and cant tell when the engine is gonna blow.
and Jemsta, you obviously havent seen how quick it is for a P1 to lose their license.... try 2 missing plates, manual with an auto P1, and speeding. it gets awfully close to a 3 month suspension. and now you will lose it for at least 3 months for speeding whether or not you have points left.
SO I WOULD EXPECT LESS RECORDINGS HERE POST 1-JULY....
