If u on 6th gear at 245km/h, the rpm should be around 7800rpm, with some cat. ,exhaust, intake & ecu mod, possible to see 260km/h, but that very danger w/o handling & brake mod.

Either that or your final drive is changedThe 8 has a speed cut off at 240 so it is no big deal losing to some cars. In fact most cheaper cars that is mod can go faster than the 8(no cut off and the increase the horses by mods). Driving fast on a straight road isn't a skill. Just floor the throttle only. The 8 is meant to take handling well(finesse rather than muscle)

However, more stringent emissions standards require detuning the engine to 238hp. Our 8s are definitely capable of more than 187km/h if they are not electronically limited, so you can continue to expect more of your 8.
that's wat i like abt this forum... so many friendly pple to help me learn more abt my car! :D
may wan to sneak my car into JB some day to test out the top speed... hee~
