Question Final word on top speed?

So these have been out for a while, what are the real world top speeds for this car? Does it have a speed limiter? what's the fastest this thing can go? in theory(based on gear ratio, HP, and Redline) and in real life? just curious.

John, I will run right outside and take it for a run and let you know shortly. j/k . Not safe on our roads right now and no tracks open around here yet.

You know the funny thing with garages around here is they get filled up with everything but vehicles. I've been going to get a garage but I keep getting different toys instead.

And yes I know what a woody is, I still get one once in a while .

Also talking abut those weather pics that were taken in the last couple of days, the main roads going in and out of my town have been closed for 2 1/2 days now.

We do... Sadly, that is where we store our dogsleds... (yea, yea yea, ok, htat was bad)

A Woody would crack and splinter in the dramatic weather changes that are prone in this country.

Personally, I've only had it upto 130 kms/hr (140 kilometer/hour = 86.991 966 913 mile/hour (mph)) <boo>

Exactly! We have a two door garage. We don't have one car parked in it, they all fit into our driveway and our neighbors driveway (lmao yes they let us store our truck there).

Inside our garage, there are powertools, shelfs, worktables, bikes, hockey equimpent, hockey sticks (which I was surprised fit in the backseat of the G35 no problem, and the bag actually fits into the trunk!) and wood and other junk, including alot of remote control cars.
