Now that's smoking! Good to know it's possible, i myself will likely never hit 205mph (even on a track at a DE event)!

Wow good to know. So if you had more road, you could have shifted to 7th manually and gone even faster!


I agree the vBox is very close to the speedo. At 100 mph it's off by only 1.0-1.5mph with stock tire size on mine. So maybe extrapolating the results your 205 is still over 200 mph!


What tires are you using and how did the car feel at that speed?

There was more road (6 miles straight) It was more like "this is pretty quick right now" LOL

On sport plus manual or auto you can't shift to 7th gear (only in comfort mode because is more like a overdrive)

Stock tires and wheels, felt pretty steady and solid... not to compare, but my GTR doesn't felt that way at 197mph

Glad to hear it felt stable!


I guess you could have switched from Sport Plus Manual to Sport Manual...and then shifted to 7th. But yeah, you did a legit 200mph pull and that's awesome congrats. No need to push it further.

Congrats.

On my Tiptronic the digital speedometer stops at 335Kph but the analog speedometer keeps going up...
I think it went near 350kph, can't say for sure because everything was shaking, including me
