Nope, it max's out at 220mph but anything over 195mph starts to get scary (did a "0-206mph in 36sec" vid on youtube), plus tyres/engine etc can have a much higher chance of failure when operating at those top speeds.

Having done 160MPH in my car the other day and finding it rather swift, think I would genuinely soil my pants at 220MPH.
 
I was honestly surprised how "normal" it felt up to 190-ish but past that, the mixture of wind noise the car starting to feel a little light up front made for a squeaky bum :D

It also helps that, with the power, it doesn't take long to get to those speeds, where as if I had to spend 90 seconds going from say 170 to 206mph I'd have never done it.
 
140 is noisy in my car. I like the feeling of air pressure over the car making it hunker down, but its not something id like to make a habit of doing. :p

Didn't Top Gear do a test where at X speed the speed camera can't keep up and get a photo or something ? ;)
 
Got this 172 (with 182 wheels) yesterday for £550, MOT next week and won't need much if anything.

Quick wash for a picture, still need to restore the headlights and give the interior a good clean out. Can't complain for that price :) I've had a Inferno 182 before and missed it so got another clio sport as a toy. Hopefully go for one of my first track days in this at Knockhill.

I too believe a car is bargain based on a single photograph on an internet forum. Come on guys there must be *some* reason why it was 500 quid when somebody I know didn't get much less for a battered MOT failure example of the same car :p
 
It's got just over 100k miles and is due it's cambelt/dephaser change by date, It doesn't have any noise from the pulley or wear on the belt, so got it as a cheap track toy.

As I said, It's got it's MOT next week as it doesn't have any at current. Not really THAT much of a bargain, but cheaper then the average for sale, I could break it and get the majority of my money back, so a win win in my eyes.
