What is the VMax on your car out of interest and what Bhp are you running at now????
Well, if it's got Belgian plates (they're red BTW) then you'll know it's not me and you don't need to pull over... My car's registered in Germany.

I haven't had the chance to really test the Vmax as I don't have the right Autobahn nearby (i.e. no speed limit, three lanes, no inclines, little traffic), most of those I drive on are unfortunately two lanes and in hilly terrain, rather twisting and with some traffic. I went up to 305 km/h on the speedo twice, but there's room for more as I ran out of straight road at that point.

Pursuant to the dyno I went on after getting the GIAC stage 2, I currently have 433hp and 677 Nm (crank). Once the methanol injection works properly, it should be around 450hp I guess, as the DME pulls timing in the upper rev range due to high IATs. We'll see!
