Exactly my point. An RS6 won't get to a real 200mph. And an M5 is a lot more aerodynamic than an RS6 so I can easily believe that. And a Nissan GTR is very aerodynamic with a CD of 0.27.
They'll be released as it's a driving offence? I hope you don't expect they would be put away until a case is made or not, AFAIK it's the CPS that decide if a prosecution goes ahead or not so. Pure conjecture here but looks like someone has 'borrowed' a mates car, one driver two arrests?
True, I had my mates GTR (Track ED Nismo) for a few weeks. 0-60 around 3 secs. Book top speed in excess of 190mph. Over 200mph with a mild tune. See stock vs litchfield website. I was passed by an RS6 like I was standing still but I was only making good progress at that time. I did knock down a gear but couldn't [/ATTACH]
I ‘raced’ two different RS6’s at a Vmax event at Bruntingthorpe. I was in a Porsche 997.2 turbo and hammered them. That said, nothing launches quite like a 911 turbo. Except a 720S
I’ll be surprised if they can nail them for much unless they’ve been stupid enough to keep evidence or upload direct to the web from their device
Guess it will depend on what was said during 'interview' and if they can hold the story. Seems odd that 2 persons are involved it what on the face of it would be a driving matter?
I think it’s the police ‘flexing’ the whole ‘we can find you’ thing but let’s see if they can actually do anything
When, not if, it’s just a matter of time when they catch up with him. He is facing a custodial sentence of at least 2 years and 4 yr driving ban, and a hefty fine.
Someone very well known in the bike world got caught just sub of 150 very recently and got away with fuck all
