Interesting. I recognize that Header! :D

Could do without the crap music, though. I'd rather be listening to the engine.

Funny you commented on this, since i always wondered what kind of top speed your XR would have.

And yes i rather listen to the engine. What kind of revs do you assume hes hitting at that speed?

I agree. But JC has the 4.45 final gear, so his top speed isn't as high anymore. Acceleration is INSANE though.

I was always tough that volvo's S/V/C70 never could get over the 300km mark. Because of the gearbox. Then you would need very high RPM's
Maybe Johan know the real answer .

Can't see the RPM's at top speed but in theory the M56 can do over 300 km/h.
Example, with a 4.00 box at 7500 RPM and 225/35-18 tires it can do 310 km/h. (300 at 7250 RPM)
Similar with a 3.77 FD almost 330 km/h. (300 at 6850 RPM)

Just use a 5GHz GPS unit if got one and its very accurate. Last year i saw 273KM/h on it but it took ages to get there :blush:
And you can import the data in to a movie like this
