Mick, I did offer advice to you about the 250 attempt, been there, tried that, didn't work. Puts what the Veyron does do in perspective. The GTR Cd/aeroD does not help and the problem is trying to gear/accelerate at that level which happens only s-l-o-w-l-y and the end of the tarmac comes rapidly

There are some VERY long stretches of straight-ish roads on the continent.

If the car is low enough and you minimise the air going underneath, plus watch the temperatures you can actually floor it for a considerable distance.

Officially I have only gone through the speed trap at TOTB at 183mph (with wing on back and M/T drag tyres at 20psi (doh!)).

Unofficially, outside this country, the speedo needle had gone completely round the clock and out the other side for a second lap. Based on revs, I'd say something well over 200 but nowhere near 250 and probably not as fast as you got. The car was stable at that speed but everything is clearly on the edge, whilst you can 'feel' the car still pulling the acceleration is painfully slow, the wind is trying to suck the side windows out, the fuel gauge is falling faster than the stock market and even the slightest of road undulations makes the steering go light.

Not an environment you would want to dwell in overly long.

And demands a high degree of concentration.

Testament though that the car can do that sort of thing with the aid of one or two simple mods.

Off the (340 km/h) clock in Hippo GTR's R34 (Thanks to Gio!), back in 2002 on a certain road known for top speed runs in Tokyo - Caught it on video... all 7 cameras

Screen dump of the Speedo's still my Avtar.
Scary passing trucks doing some 150mph over their speed... Got to a corner I'd never noticed before (Usually feels almost straight at sane speeds) and remember feeling a little scared... Slowed down. It could have gone quicker, but I didn't want to - Wasn't my car for starters!

Off the Speedo was job done as far as making the video was concerned.

I dont think top speed means much, should be over a ceretain distance.

Like 200mph in the space of Brunters or at TOTB is good (well, amazing at TOTB now theyve knocked it down to 1km, lol).
200mph on the Autobahn is no big deal.

Hence why in America the standing mile competitions are popular, as acceleration to big speed is impressive, a car just getting there in the end (ie most supercars top speeds) isnt.

That's because we have the same brain out attitude!

Although you are still an apprentice because you remembered to take the rear wing off!
