Mines just a Genesis so I my speedo only goes to 120, but I had the needle all the way around until it was pointing vertically down, covering the 'MPH' at the bottom. It was still going but I bottled it.

Obviously all on the track.... ;D

Me, back when it was standard, knocking on the door of 130 downhill, it was struggling to give any more.

'kin ell Lance, that's tramping on a bit! :o

I did nearly 85mph in my mk2 1043 when I first got it, does that count? ;D

'Seem to remember that video on Youtube when someone hit the limiter in 5th, something like 153mph on the clock. Scary and bloody stupid - but brilliant nonetheless! 8)

Every year at work some guys go to le mans, and last year one of the engineers had just got a fancey evo, brand new thing, and 4 up they saw 170 on the speedo in france. Dunno how accurate that is but its tramming some for sure. Shortly after that he got caught speeding at about 120 and the french po took his liscence off him and wouldnt let anyone go till they got 500 euros in cash.
