Default Top Speed question....

I just read that the top speed record in a 4x4 was 196mph. Surely this is not true, and other 4x4's have been quicker??

Well in that case that's VERY old info...

Anyway, the Cayenne is the school bus isn't it..

Think he means 4x4 as in the big fookers mums use to take one child to school in.

Quite a few 4x4 cars have cracked the 200mph barrier.

where is the stuff you read?? it might meant the fastest off-road 4x4, or production 4x4... although i would have thought the porsche turbo would have taken that...

the modified could have been aero mods, like spoilers.etc...

Agreed, that fooker is mental, doesn't it pull top gear out in about 3/4 mile

Funniest memory of Keiths car was when a mate called me from Stratford telling me about some shitbox skyline that was cruising up and down the strip with some old boy (obviously mark) doing something with a laptop

He soon shut up when he pulled a 8
