OKIE DOKIE friends. After a lot of fussing from fellow board members and other online skeptics, I have finally published a full-bore high-speed run of my car. I used a self-made set-up using a Garmin iQue 3600a 12 channel WAAS enabled GPS receiver and two video cameras. There seems to be a bit of speculation about how fast an S85 equipped car can plow through the ozone. While my car hit its limiter at 8250 engine RPM and 340 kph/211 mph indicated, the GPS showed a little slower—A LITTLE SLOWER.
The weather was perfect. No wind and since I did the run on the same road in both directions, there can be little doubt that this car IS FAST. I will switch to 20 inch tires and try and raise the rev limiter. If so, I might be able to crack the 210 mph mark which is impressive for a car that cost me less than 100K USD.
I hope you enjoy the video. You can view a high-resolution version soon. I’ll post the link here.
