Unfortunately the road ran out as we were heading for 220+ and I forgot that the air con was on. Not sure whether it would have made much difference at that speed though. Anyone know???

Yes, running out of road would make a difference to the speed.

Ummm maaaaaahhhhh

They bounce around a bit at that speed don't they... I hear

Then reality hits and you think hmmmm, hope the brakes work

Noticed your knuckles are whiter than the rest of your fingers dude. rofl

LOL

yeh it definately feels a bit bouncey, kinda like floating a bit

darkelf...the starions defeinatly go to 230...i can vouch for it...i did it on the road trip to wallaroo...was trying for 240 but you collect rd to fast...so if i want to post what i did i had to slow it down a tad

in what gear were u in?, what's your diff ratio..

Cookie, you are such a smart arse! :)

Al, you aint kidding. Started to go into a bend at that speed and yes reality hit. he he he!

Wantsom. LOL Should have seen my undies! Ewwwwww!

Sirius. yeah would have liked to have tried for the 230. My old man reckoned he had 235 out of her when she was brand new but I'm not sure I believe that. As I said I ran out of road. Well I started to head into a long sweeping bend so it meant easing off.

TD was in 5th Diffs a 3.5 LSD

Deeks, dont know about suspension. Mine is pretty firm. New shocks all round about 18mths ago.

The thing I really noticed was wind noise. Man did the wind whistle at that speed.

Spose it could have been my sphincter tightening! :)

This was all done on a private road of course, Darkelf. :D

Good stuff.The Starion really likes to get up and boogie in the top gears.






Oh, and welcome to the club.

:party :beer

do we get like a hat or something? 220+ out of my old beast : ) (180k speedo... hehehe)

We could make the hats for like $30

CLUB 220

photos provided pre-hat purchase of course

this is what happens when you have too much time on your hands and no work to do.

What if the best speed you can get is 69Kmh - do you get a hat with that on it?

Could get a bunch of people with the slowest Starions on the planet.
LOL
