About 165 to 175. But that's back on the desert roads. Took like a mile to kinda reach that speed. Soon as all her tuning is in order. I can try for 1/4 mile time trials and see what she can really do 0-60mph. Then I am doing the Movaje Mile just to get her on record instead of flying around the back roads in the desert. But over 150 she handles so nice, you would think you are going 100.

 

Always short on manufacturer's claim. They said the SS can 0-60 in 3.6 sec. That's pretty fast for a 4750 lb vehicle. Given a better tranny that shift 50 percent quicker, maybe. But that's fast! Don't know, will test my lighten up 850hp baby in two weeks and will let you guys know.

 

Will need about a 3 to 4 mile of straight road..

 

or the Bonnesville Salt Flats. I wanted to do the over 200 mph too. But I am concerned about safety and equipment. I might just build a roll cage. Bentley Flying Spur just did 195mph at the Salt Flats.

 

I don't need to see topped out but i sure like the 120-150 every now and then.

 

I could not imagine the Doc not wanting to top out You do 120mph while smoking a stogie

 

Yeh 120 ain't nothin. Above 145 it does feel some fast. I don't know if I have the conditions to run flat out safely so I am just lying to myself and trying to convince myself that i don't want to see topping out.

 

I saw a video about 4 years ago in which a GTC Speed did 197 MPH with the top down! They then did the run again with the top up and went 202 MPH. That is what motivated me to buy my 2010 GTC Speed - just knowing I could do that even if I never would (or did).
I'm over that now and don't have any trouble sleeping at night knowing that my new car can "only" do 187. I may open her up one of these days and get into the low hundreds but the older I get, the more I believe the old adage that there are bold men and there are old men but there are few old bold men.

 

You guys are not old! But make sure your equipment is in tack before you commit to trying to kill yourselves!

 

After running 220 on bikes 190 feels slow lol. I was surprised how quickly it got there though and it was effortless.

 

There you go. It is not top speed so much as how quick and smooth it does get to what ever speed you reach. That's Bentley speed!

 

So very true Dr D!

 

How about top speed, quick and smooth, all the way way through the whole spectrum?

 

I got inspired by the rest of you and took the new GTC out just to see what she could do. Got to 203 mph before I chickened out.

 

Wow Grwisher!
