Dont forget that as well as having over 400 BHP my car is 200 odd KG lighter than a WR1 and still a lot lighter tha a spec C. It would show over 150 every lap on the speedo, which is low 140's true speed
I'd agree with what you're saying above.
I was rather cautious coming out of the last bend onto the main straight, not because of not being able to, but in all honesty, in an attempt to preserve my tyres.
The SECS monitor, which reads its speed direct from the ECU (and is very accurate as I checked it using GPS) peaked at 134mph.
All in all a fab day out and rather than looking at further mods, I'm looking at getting hold of another set of wheels/tyres.
