Well the car is a little on the light steering side above 120. I have not had enough highway do to that to go faster but I am sure the car will go above 150mph. A speed sensitive steering system would be great like on a lincoln ls. The tire are hr rated just like on the us version. i will be switching to wr or higher rating pretty soon.

Hey you speed freaks, come on down to Northern Territory in Australia. NO SPEED LIMITS out of towns and some good long straight roads. We had a Cannonball Run event over here for a couple of years until some bozzo rich Japanese guy in a Ferrari F40 topped himself, his co-driver and a couple of officials (destoyed the F40 too of course). Then the authorities canned the event.

Hello. Here is an update. I have pushed the car to 250 Kmh which is about 156 MPH.
I think that is the limit of the engine/trans not so much electronic limiter.

As for the ride i changed tires and put the 245/55 18 bf goodrich and it made a night and day difference. car is a lot more steady.

300mexico, how are the new tires are they noisey at highway speeds? and, do you have them slightly overinflated?

[300cMexico]

They are excellent. no noise at all.

300cmexico do you see any negitives to the new tires to the old ones i know you said its no noise but is the sound louder or just different or its just a better tire with no negitives at all

[300cMexico]

Really no negatives the tire is excellent.

mex,

Those BFG's dont stick out? I want to put new rubbers on mine and those sound like a nice fatty to put on it.

[DrDeville]

I checked TireRack, and they are even approved for the
stock 300c rims (7" wide)!

I'm surprised, because the fattest approved tire I found
in my own clickings were 245s, if I recall correctly. This
looks like a promising alternative. They're probably a
little taller than stock, which I don't want, but perhaps
not a show-stopper.

Best,

George Ferguson
