1st pic shows it around 143mph, crap pic but you know cold icy *track* and high speed. The limiter kicked in around an indicated 148 ish mph.
The 2nd pic is 6 grand in 5th showing just under 130mph.
Still not quick enough is it! |

top speeds not the prob its getting there from a standstill to the limiter in 5th prefarably it could do it in under a minute which it can't.
I am tryign to work out exactly what speed I was doing, I have the tyres overall dia, its turns per mile, the cars ratios etc, tryign to find/remember the calculations though! |

Have to admit it was down a hill.
The old hatch would clip the limiter on the flat but the chammy won't.
Handy of toyo to know the exact dia of their tyres eh (577mm)! 914 turns per mile they do. |

everybody seems to own their personal high speed test track on private property in the UK  
sure makes it tempting to move over there  |

my private track is called the B653. Anyone else found on there is a trespasser. |
