I'm not sure how fast I've gone... speedo is limited to 200kph.... I passed my friend who was doing 220kph.... I didn't pass him very fast, but I did pass him.

Converted to mph... that'* about 137mph, and the engine was just in the redline.

L 120 75
M 130 81

P 150 93
Q 160 99

Default um..

ZR'* are 149mph +

All those numbers are only a sugestion... kinda like the 'speed limit' and the 'stop sign' only a myth..

So how do they test that?
