sorry but I have gotta say that there is no way on earth a 400 BHP focus is gonna hit anywhere near 190mph. They reckon you hit a brick wall at 175mph and you need 100BHP/10mph after that!! It takes about 500BHP in a cossie to hit 175/180mph so your talking 600/650bhp to get to 190mph+.......................I'd be putting in that warranty claim to Road Angel pal

176.6MPH is nowhere near 190mph mate! it looks like he hit the "brick wall". Working on the 100BHP for 10mph over 175mph theory, 176mph is 14MPH shy of 190mph so he'd need approx 140BHP on top of his 460 which would equate to 600BHP.
Come one matey, you've gotta see the woods past them trees now!
I've got a 400BHP escos and i've hit 160 on my snooper GPS but accelerating from then was just impossible due to wind resistance etc etc etc etc etc.
