So hard to guess, never done anything like this before, dont want to say a number then feel a pratt for getting nowhere near it

[Trailermasher]

165 would be nice.
Spoiler causes huge drag on mine!
Had 158 on the 'bahn in the wet.

[RedHot]

Last time I never broke 150 and all the other R8's did, so if I dont make it this time
I'll be

If geared for it, from your 1/4's, 180 should be possible

The trick is to underestimate when you arn't sure

I wish i fitted the V161 box from the facelift supra now, trouble with my V160 is 6th is a bit long winded.

[SimonV8ster]

So in a Ro is it best to stay in 5th gear until the end ?

I'm a Thunder Road virgin

The auto at redline in 5th is about 175, it's only 4500 in 6th!
Thinking of changing diff to 2.92:1, as stock on Holden VE auto, redline in 5th then 199!

Cant actually remember what got last time, but anything North of 165mph would be nice, depends on conditions tho.
