Posted 11/03/06 07:57 AM Share Posted 11/03/06 07:57 AM With no limiter the manual mk1 peaks out at 267.when looking at a GT-P a while back, ford offered to disable the limiter for me, they said it was 250.the T sits very nicely at 180-200, over that they can get a bit twitchy and you have to put your beer down and use both hands.cruise control doen't work over 200 either....

I thought the car handled it very well though (nullabor straight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look what cars were there on the day. Lambo's....Porsche. The latter being race inovators since the 50's no less. These are race cars made into road cars, not the other way round.Anyone who wants to race a family car at those speeds is a fool.Bloody unprofessional of the company if you ask me. My opinion only.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
