I'm not forgetting anything you dullard, I keep telling you that most road cars will not max rpm their biggest gear inside a 1.5 mile straight (especially as they have to leave braking room!!!) but you don't seem to get this
Take a standard ish hot hatch to Brunters and see for yourself if you get near to pulling its vmax, you won't get it to the rpm it is capable of in top gear , I know for a fact my car won't hit 150 at Brunters but it will on my private test track (m40) because I am not restricted by space.
There are very few cars that will do their absolute v max on a 1.5 mile runway
