I would actually say no more than 150 to 155 genuine with the rear spoiler on and 280ish bhp .

Almost 160mph speedo reading was 150mph on GPS
On 19's, 159 on speedo is 161 on GPS (280bhp)

Chris,
I thought you were running "303bhp" AND different cams (that push the power band up) ?

Yep, like i said glory-boy speedo's

Fords are famous for them!


At least it lowers the risk of getting a speeding fine though.

I am now but when I recorded those speeds (on my private runway in Paris) I was running 283bhp, 3 up.
Obviously upto 130 was no bother but with the turbo (T28 small) running out of puff the last 30mph was about as long as the 0-130 time!!!
3people+smallturbo+aircon+heavier weight of small turbo escos+std injectors+ drag=hard work

Now with 303 and cams, mid-top end is so much better than previously I reckon in 531 days I'll be able to top 170. (will they still sell fuel then?)
