Despite rumours to the contrary, the Cesil can do the high-speed grand touring luxo-barge thing very well too

I didn't sleep through the next corner though

Hi,

If you do the Maths then based
on 7000 rpm in 6th which
would be very hard to achieve,
std Diff Ratio 3.64 and o/a diam
of wheel tyre say 614mm [265 35 19]
then if your doing over 170 mph your
defying science.

Regards,

The Gorilla.

No - Just a good memory for some of the antics I missed out on!

I've seen 178mph on GPS in a friends CSL, think it may have gone faster but our junction came up a bit quicker than expected

164mph on the limiter in mine on brand new tyres, must get that limiter removed

My Bad, not use to these 19'' rims,
18'' everytime.

30 profile makes top speed at 7000 rpm in
sixth even slower then.

7000rpm in 6th (0.83) on standard final drive 3.64 and 265/30 x 19 tyres = 174mph true speed and would be 181mph with the 35 profile tyre (so no science defiance

).
