Maybe i watched that clip far to closely.

But what gets me is that from when the lightening gets to 220 on the speedo, it still manages to pull almost another 500rpm and the speedo just doesnt seem to go past 220.

Just curious as to what speed it actually gets to.

It was posted on NLOC and the guys on there reckon it was around 155 going by the rpm. Without a GPS system i guess theres no accurate way of measuring.

As for how long it can cruise for that long, as long as the fuel lasts i guess I dont know how many vehicles can cruise at 150mph 4th at 5000rpm
