somewhere on the board is a u-boob link of our 3.0 5sp X'er rolling at 200kmh, ~125mph, to celebrate it's 123456.789th mile.. other than the camera blur, I can say it was a comfortable ride on conti snowflakes & 57's. I quit when I saw oncoming traffic again, so only 2 miles or so. My revs were in the hi 5's so couldn't be much more (IMHO) with wind resistance, etc.

4.10 here as well (grrrr).. short shift back-ordered to infinity(again MHO, sorry UUC), and 2.64 difs fell off the map of wishies for lack of confirmed sightings, lol.

I -briefly- considered top-speeding it, but it was 12º F and I was pretty sure traffic wouldn't cooperate (and I was right). I can't imagine how much road it would've taken to get the remaining mph, but if my e12 2.8 was any indication, it took 2km to get from 220 to 235kmh (racing a Ferrari at the time). It weighed ~3200lb.
