I thought top speed is limited by the gearing and aerodynamics and not so much by BHP......... Gone but not forgotten, 2005 RRS SC first edition, BMW 2010 Z4,TVR Tamora, TVR Cerb, MERC SL 55 AMG, E46 M3, Z4, Jag S type R, Skyline R33 GTR 640 bhp, Evo FQ 400, L322 RR, X5, Lotus Esprit V8 twin turbo, Lotus Elise 135r, Nissan Murano, Honda S2000, 911, Boxster s...and a few more |

Must have a pub speedo fitted. Not very wise when tyres are speed rated at 123 mph. |

How do you know what speed rating his tyres are? You can get tyres for the RRS that will handle 160mph. Hell, my ATs are rated at 130mph and you wouldn't consider them to be a "performance tyre".

Not sure if this is 100% correct but I thought the RRS SC pre 2010 was limited to 140mph? Not sure for the 5.0 SC.

When I was invited to the Gaydon supercharge launch event sure we went up to 147mph on test track and handling was incredible in the hands of their test drivers. Mpg was 6mpg |

There is a HUGE difference between 147 and 160 just like there is a huge difference between 180 and 200 mph..everything just gets that bit more difficult after 155 (thats why most cars are limited to 155) and the difficulty increases.with the speed..the resistance from air pressure doesnt remain constant..it climbs the faster you are going..the air flow under the car can cause lift etc...like i said earlier...gearing and aerodynamics are key...not bhp. How many bhp would a cruise liner have compared to a speed boat? which one would you say is likely to be quicker?

My comment above was about the handling not the top speed but the speedo is not that accurate when compared to gps readings |
