Top speed
« on: 02 September 2007, 17:20:35 »
Some time ago a Top speed of your Omega post attracted some fun on here. Today i had the chance under suitable conditions to have a go for the first time. Got to an indicated 142/143mph, still creeping up slowly but started feeling a bit light for a big car so decided to quit while i was ahead.
      I've no need to do it again but at least i know now.
       P.S What's the speed rating for Michelin Primacy tyres? [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

IIRC it's only 3.0 cars that require W/Z rated tyres.
