I have just been watching You-Tube vids from around the world about my RX3 and how they do it elsewhere.

I watched this vid and noticed the speedo indicate 100 kph once.

That`s 80mph in English money right?
That`s what I can get out of mine (indicated) if I thrash it to within an inch of it`s life.
Although the speedo does seem to be very optimistic.

Oh and the music is superb Wub

Is the top speed meant to be 80mph? I saw 107 which's 66 mph.

That would explain my very optimistic speedo.
It still has enough omph to overtake lorries easily.

It was never going to be a speed demon, that's not what I bought it for.

I wouldn't of thought so.
I'd guess the claim is more along 70mph and I'd think that's at it's limit.

100 KPH = 62.137119 MPH

(At the school I went to.)

Very Happy

It is actually mere 62 mph.

That reminds me that people moan about severe speed limits in the UK.

Well I come from Europe and most countries there we have:

Motorway - 120 kph = 75 mph
Any other A roads - 90 kph (56 mph) outside towns.
50 kph (31 mph) within towns or any small villages regardless of the road. BTW UK definition for that is having street lights. European definition is the town/village name sign. You past that and you are in 31mph speed limit zone automatically.
30 kph = 18 mph limit for built up areas where people live
