Insane :shock: Would have been funny to watch the needle as it would be stuck at the bottom of the dash for ages, then when you start slowing down it'd still be there until you "slow" down to 200 haha

My best effort would be 190kmh in my EA, and 180kmh in the EF (limited), oh and 180 in Sunny's typhoon (by far the funnest, felt like it was only doing about 130, got there so quick as well, if he wasn't with me and I had my own car I would have gone up a gear and kept going, felt so safe :P)

Today one of my best mates was tragically killed on his motorcycle due to excessive speed. I don't want to turn this thread into a sympathy vote, just keep in mind it can happen to any of us.
