Porkie one thing you may not realise its been chipped 
192bhp std with over 200ft/lbs...probably around 220bhp and 250 ft lb...if they manage 140 std then 150 is possible......

Top gear ratio 0.75
Final drive ratio 3.64
Top speed 137mph eerrm not quite tiz acualy 148mph,,due to tyre sizes,,,
not to sure about the final ratio ether, im sure it was more like .84 to 1
i have the high top gear in mine, yeer 150, not a problem 160,,mmm yeer down hill with the wind behind me (219bhp@205lb/ft in a xr4x4)
but at brunts,,,no way, youl need more bhp to do it in two miles and part of that is uphill!
i think,,,no i know its a safe bet

Maybe it has a secret Topboss 500bhp invisible twin turbo conversion?
as I said, I COULD be made to look silly... but then even if it does do 150mph at Brunters... 180?!?!?!?!?!? now thats silly
Its goint to be a laff whatever. He does seem like a good fun bloke on the phone

would just like to point out though lee,i was hitting 150mph around the 1 mile mark,but due to the way my car is mapped over 6k it drops to 16psi which then dont have much pull left in her in 5th.so only gained another 6mph over the 150 by the time i had to brake.not pulling you up onthing,but just pointing out i hit 150 very easily,it was pulling any more after that that was a bit harder
fair play to you for the bet with the dude

Pops, totally understand mate But yours is a VERY fast car! I just don't think those granadas are!
Ok... in hindsight I should have said 160mph... BUT then he wouldn't have taken the bet!
It'll be a laff whatever!
If I loose, I'll bet him 5k it won't do 170mph and take him to Nardo

aflmao @ you, Lee Fair play tho fella - hope it don't backfire on you I would have said 160mph
Please take Ish down there with you to video it and get it up on the site - I am especially interested in the bit where you will all be standing together for the results Wanna see those expressions.....
Tell you what you should do - tell him you'd like to change the bet and if he DOES do 150 or higher you will pay him £1000.... But if he loses, it's gonna cost him £500 and the car then you can do a Clarkson and blow it up or drive it into a caravan or something

(took a very long time to wind it up to that though
)now i know they say 138 but like has been said i also think there where different diffs, and some book speeds arnt always right when the car is worn and slack (like this one) means they tend to go a little better just before they fall apart
end of the day mate i think your money is safe
