175?

170 - 180 on the speedo.

The speedo over reads around 10mph at those sort of speeds though...

I assume that was on a private test track you own BY the A30 was it!?

I've had 162'ish on the clock out of mine with plenty left

Edit to add mine has a factory re-limit on it but I personally haven't gone faster yet.

Better not to advertise top speed exploits on UK roads I would imagine.

I've hit the limiter a few times which is 162mph on gps, showing about 170mph on the speedo, gets there pretty easily so i would imagine 175-180 is possible.

i had 160 on the ring in 5th but won't go any faster in 6th.

186 is top I believe

Hit the limiter indicating 165(ish) on the clock, which is a pretty accurate 155 on GPS. I have heard some rumours that 190 is possible with a delimit. Not sure how true this is since the CSL doesn't have the most aerodynamic front bumper in the world, although the gearing would suggest that it is possible. If someone has the gear ratios and diff ratio, I'll calculate the exact theorectical maximum speed.
