WHAT A HARD CONCEPT.
but what if its sideways down a uphill slope in outer space? would the flux capacitor kick in to get it faster?

According to my RPD, I went 250km/h stock. Like I said though, that was RPD not GPS.

Edit: I just remembered, that run was recorded on an app in my phone.

some headwork and the right power and you might be able to go 200. doubt there would be any sheet metal left though.

Some of the guys with larger turbos or headwork may have stronger valvesprings, so from a redline standpoint they could take it further.

The problem at those speeds then becomes that the additional power you need to go each MPH faster begins to increase considerably.

I just noticed my tires were 35r so maybe that would equate to my Speedo being of so much
