_leon_ 0 Posted October 25, 2006 on a private road i've topped it out several times at 143mph on the clocks - so around what the book says - it feels relatively stable and does not get shaky/rattley. I personally don't see the point in buying a 'sports' car, spending thousands on modding it, then not finding its new limits - seems a pointless exercise tbh.

Riley 0 Posted November 6, 2006 From what I have gathered recently there are two different final drives on a G60 3.45 and 3.68 with 5th gears of 0.74 and 0.8. Each of these ratios will give a top speed (on standard wheels) of 152.5mph and 137..5mph. Interesting 8) I dont know why but mine seems flat in 4th and 5th,never even bothered going for gold becase it just feels slow... :? Are they all a bit like that? not sure if theres a slight boost leak or slipping belt or sommet... Dont fancy doing a vid at crazy speeds so heares onr from 30-80 :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Dude 0 Posted November 6, 2006 There's only one way to settle this....... go thru a speed camera at 140 and see how fast they think you are going! Of course, you may end up losing your license, but at least the speedo issues will be sorted :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
