I lived in Germany for 5 years and had the mig over there with me and got it to 150mph, picture & movie below to prove it.

I've seen Shyboy Bill's speedo up at that kind of speed too!
he was in a field at Keswick with MarksDTM on the the other end of a TechII at the time!!  ;D  ;D  ;D
Watch the video, and you will see there is no tech II connected :y

In a 1996 3.0 V6 Elite - 150 mph

In the current 2.5 V6 CDX - 130 mph, to warm the tyres up for ???mph

Only joking, I always keep below the legal limit! ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ;)

I did push my (Kates) 2.5 to an indicated 144/5 as posted some time ago (under clinical supervision) The MV6 will do a bit more but we all know a good'un will pull 150 ish so no need to risk my life/licence finding out.
    As for point & squirt acceleration & being shot out of bends/roundabouts in 2nd, 100+ (sorry 70) in 3rd, much more fun! :D 8-)
