No idea as the limiter is set to 157, which i hit at elvington. Im sure it would carry on up and beyond 170 if i was that desperate to try, but im not, scoob engines dont like constant high speed efforts!

Was next to a 500bhp Skyline at the time, and chatting to him afterwards told me what speed we were doing. Not sure if the 162mph was on his speedo or his Road Angel (my speedo was off the clock)

My CockLink said I was about to blow my engine - so I backed off at 185MPH.
The re-map at £750 showed what a bargain it really was.
My forged, balanced pistons and **** oil change made a postive difference.
Ceramic, split lazer machined piston rings were probably the reason for the high speed.

I don't go fast anymore - its too bloody dangerous - fastest I've driven is 140 - nearly ran out of road for breaking!
I would be interested to know in therory how fast my newage WRX with PPP would gp at the limit Any ideas? I would estimate about 140 max.
