Embassased Duke

[G Man]

Returning from RWYB I spied a Duke 996 in full race decals closing to smoke me off the round about, up the dual carriageway.
we both carried speed off the roundabout and went for it, the GTR leaping to a 50 meter gap instantly, 3 gear no 996, 4 still behind me but pushing, grap 5 hit the rev limiter, 6 check mirrors 150 meters behind was the Duke, passed a volvo and filtered back in to the single lane highway, expecting the Duke to blow passed the volvo and catch up, but he hid behind the volvo and refused to play !!!!!!!!!

RWYB was a good day.

About what I thought.

So X-wings and the NCC1701E (oh. my. god.) are mere hors-deuvres for our friendly Ultima then.

Probably close to the 5500rpm I did in top seeing off a fireblade that thought it had a chance.

probly past the blades top speed!!!!

My engine revs to 7500 5th is 25mph per 1000 revs = I was no good at maths, that right faster that a Duke 996 can go, shame I was just getting going in 6 th gear
Answer:
187MPH

Surely that's 187.5, it does make a difference you know. Anyway since when did they start letting pescky hair-dryers onto air strips?

I don't know? but they are becoming a problem.

PS mine "only" revs to 7000rpm and does 30.3mph in top so thats a wee bit more than me (nutter), but the point had been graphicly made
