i know its not relevant to the speed, but i never seen a nova with lexus lights before!

man that doesnt even look like a nova, why do people ruin them?

[white2lSR]

Its simply not possible with the f28, the gear ratios of the f28 (albeit using 195 50 15s) would give only 147mph at 6000 and 171mph at 7000 revs, and thats if there is no rolling OR wind resitance. So unless hes got it to rev to 7k in 6th its not gonna get to more than 160.
Even the twin engine Boost beast 'only' manged 180mph and thats with over double the power.

What is most plausebale is the the oversize wheels combined with the inaccurate digi dash has meant the displayed topspeed was 170, however in real live it would be close to 10% under that - 153 is lot more realistic.

My speedo indicates 155 when my GPS registers a 140mph.

I repeat, R1CH on here had a proven speed of somewhere in the region of 165mph. Think it was in a mag feature where they ran various novas up a runway.

EDIT 160mph have a read down this thread, it has a pic of the print out and a pic of the speedo right off the clock
