Default Re: I have had 170 MPH in Germany!

Well done. I saw 175 in mine a few weeks ago. Very stable and was still pulling but I could see a car about 1 mile ahead and didn't trust the brakes to slow the car quickly at that speed. She seems to pull to 140 before she slows down the rate of acceleration but 160 is fairly regular and requires only a few miles of private motorway to get there.

Tip: don't open the windows at that speed, the shock of the noise almost caused me to have heart failure. Also I managed to bend the aerial at that speed on the rear wing which caused my car phone and radio to stop working
