Default 202mph

managed 202mph on Friday, first run was 197.97mph and the engine was at over 7000rpm's.

We changed the tyres for slightly higher profile and got 202mph.
i think it will go faster, but i have run into gearing issues.

Was hoping that he cam back with, "I did it on the back straight away on XYZ road course," that would have made my day.

Didn't you read my post? I was hoping it was a road course. Over here, it's rare to have a straight long enough to reach 200 MPH even in the rare case that one of us would have a car that could do 200 MPH. What you've achieved if freakin' awesome.

The music finally goes away at 3:30.

The only music I want to hear is from the 8 barking pistons under the "bonnet".

Oh ... your steering wheel is on the wrong side.
