And, as the others have said, please be careful, eh? I wanna hear how fast the T went from you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels bad enough at 230!I find this statement odd. At 230 km/h I can take my hands off the steering wheel as it is just so smooth and well poised on the road.It doesnt shake, vibrate, feel light, or boaty Just well poised and sure footed.I doubt the fact that I have 18s makes any difference, but its worth a mention.Ross Edited 02/06/05 07:58 AM by Ford_Power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No probs... Still approx. 700 rpm left before rev limiter.... High road temp was why I pushed no further, but it was there.Car felt confident and smooth...... No beer changes, I mean gear changes at that speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 02/06/05 01:49 PM Author Share Posted 02/06/05 01:49 PM 250 here constant for 35 minutes in the NT last month..... No probs... Still approx. 700 rpm left before rev limiter.... High road temp was why I pushed no further, but it was there.Car felt confident and smooth...... No beer changes, I mean gear changes at that speed.THIS Is something I've been thinking about for a while....The extra torque should push to at least 270.....Blonk, should have pushed it the rest of the way, like, its only another 20 kph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 03/06/05 02:50 AM Share Posted 03/06/05 02:50 AM Plus the EDIT gives you till 6500rpm... Which is more than enough room to make sure you crap yourself....

Eugene Member 670 Member For: 20y 3m 10d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle NSW Posted 03/06/05 06:28 AM Share Posted 03/06/05 06:28 AM I ran my ute out to the limiter a few weeks back, two in the car, half a load in the back, about 200kg, sat a steady as a rock, ran till an indicated 240kph, felt great.it didnt take too long to get there either, but with 293 out the back, it would be expected.the teanue cover was very streched when I got home.
