172 Cup top speed?



  Clio 200 Cup
Just out of interest, the book says 138mph.........

What is the fastest indicated speed anybody has seen in a standard 172 Cup.............on a private road or in a closed environment obviously.

Childish question I know. :)
 
I scared mike@rentech on the way to the ring, we backed off before we took off lol

Couldn't read the GPS speed at that point as it was flashing red and bouncing up and down thanks to it being stiffly sprung.

145 on the clock apparently, mike reckons it was still pulling though!

Im genuinely scared.

Ive only just got my 172 so Im still getting used to it, not really done much more than 100. Ever had any problems with these cars overheating when flat out for ages? Im thinking of going for a play on an Autobahn.

...........are you the nutcase on youtube? Ive seen a cracking onboard video on there of somebody driving the nackers off a 172 Cup around the ring. I saw the video then went out and bought a Cup the next day. :)

rod bolts snap if the the engine is on the limiter for prolonged periods at 8000rpm

limiter in 4th is 125mph @ 8000rpm on an r-sport ecu IIRC (thats when one of our engines went BANG)

I had 110mph just before changing to 5th in my FF 172.. I ran out of road so had to put the brakes on..
 
134 GPS is my PB. (I hold the record on Ralph Wiggums sat nav - get in! :D )

Still had more to come, need to bounce it off the limiter one day.
