I think its 230km/h or something like that. But why would you need to go that fast?

Yeah, I've been told 180, 200, 230 and 240by different people haha. So thought someone on here might actually know the real answer lol

I've had the car for about 6 months so far driven 500km+ trips in one go almost every weekend so far, passing road trains so pretty use to the car and raced speedway for 4 and a half years. And I don't bother speeding to much as the cost for 98RON where I live in close to $1.70 and it starts to cost a bit chewing up all the fuel lol. I just want to know what speed it's restricted to.

im sure if you search on the internet you will find the answer.
i thought the base model falcons were restricted to 220km/h and the xr6/8s were 240/260? either way its preety quick.

Tried getting the rear wheels off the ground (somehow get the car stable enough) and gradually accelerate it until it hits the speed limiter?
It's more than 200km/h for certain, I got my $$ on 220km/h.

That's pretty s**t man. I've gotten my 04 BA XT up to 203 from my GPS, my speedo was showing 210. Wonder why yours isn't getting 200 at least?

XT 4 spd auto - the limiter is 200km, you can get it removed by using the sct xcal 3 flash tune but you shouldnt. the driveshaft will spin itself apart and f**k you up!
