Whats your max (boosted) speed?
I was wondering what would be the maximum speed limit for a tubro 7th gen (stock engine)? So I decided to take the car for a lil test. Drove around for a while and as soon as I found a strip of road all vacant I went for it. The moment I shifted into fifth I knew I had crossed 200 kmh (120 mph). I kept on going for a few more seconds but then had to brake as the signal was near.
I have my Profec E01 wired up with the speed sensor and it also displays and saves the peak value. So when I stopped at the signal I looked down and saw 240 kmh (150 mph) on the screen. However, I think I went more than that and the reason it recorded 240 is because I had the speed meter ranged from 0-240 kmh. (Those having the Profec E01 would know what I am talking about). Only if I had set it like 0-300 or something, I could have got the exact reading.
Anyway, that brings me to this question that what would be the possible maximum speed (given a long road of course) for a turbo 7th gen (on a stock engine) without blowing up anything? My guess is where the 5th gear cuts out. Anyone knows what figure would that be?
And by the way I have attached a picture of the Profec's display that shows the max speed. (Quality is not good as I took it from my cell phone).

152.... cant go faster. i hit redline....
takes me less than a minute to get there. so if i had the gearing and what im guessing is 350whp, i assume that i could hit close to 185-190mph... but i have stupid gsr gearing..... strip > freeway
