In the original autocar article, it reckoned that the speedo was out by 10mph at 100 I think!!! Not checked it out with the GPS though to compare the accuracy of the speedo though with GPS, has anyone else? Mine over reads by about 5% compared with the sat nav figures. Pete

We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

No-one believes me that these things have such a high top end! Glad to hear that there are some more people that have got to similar figures, My new L200 has an estimated speed on 100MPH! SLIGHT DIFFERENCE!

rev counter is definitely inaccurate - my code reader gives figures that are two or three hundred rpm out (rev counter reads too high) Maybe not everyones is right then:) Mine is for whatever reason as my Motec shows more or less exactly the same in a steady state. I accept it does lag when accelerating in low gears but when the acceleration is relatively slow my rev counter is spot on.

I had my fastest top speed run on my Europe trip a couple of years back. It shows on video as reading approx 168mph on the clocks (non GPS), some of you may remember this as part 4 of my holiday video? This was on the Autobahns and I reached this speed three times (sections after Stutgart heading north), but each time traffic or corners haltd progress. TBH I don't think I would have got much more, as I was two up, with a weeks luggage, in 100 degree heat, only at 1 bar boost (approx 265bhp) and was selling the car three days later! On a cool winters day at 1.3 bar by myself i would have got more for certain.
