No more than 180mph If you got a true GPS reading.

300=186.4 so north of that.... somewhere....is it LUDICROUS speed???

I like the fact that our 150mph is a lot faster than a metric 150Km/H. Just me...but it really doesn't matter whether its metric or US when you really get going.

Last I remember Brittain still used MPH.
If I remember correctly, it also came before KMH (english system came before metric system).

I think someone already got it. 186.4 = 300KPH? But I am thinking more along the line of 205mph.
And Yes KPH sounds faster, but really isnt, it's more for like people who WISH they could go 150mph but are to afraid or something....I dont know. Just my opinion.
Later.

It almost sounds to me like this guy with the M5 put up his slips in a race against the poster... he lost, and now the poster is going to give away the car???? Is that what I am reading here? Because that's ridiculous if it is...

189 mph
