to quote doug - this is from s2forum:
Top Speed Runs in S2
What is the highest top speed someone has done? Genuine top speed - not onthe gauges.
I am aiming to get the S2 to 200mph this year. Too much? maybe, but i did a vmax event at Bruntingthorpe - so tops speed in 1.6mile. In my B5 S4 i did 193 - same timing gear that EVO mag uses. THat was 7200rpm in 6th. My S2 has the s4 gearbox ansd revs to 8500. Will the S2 do that speed though?
Other cars speeds: EVO Lambo LP640 : 193mph !!!
on the same day i did my 193:
Lambo Murci: 193 ( i passed this on the straight so aerodynamics are what makes this good)
Carrera GT: 195
RUF RT12 : 211
since then he's got the 198 afaik
