then theres the autobahn lol
If you've ever been in a Falcon in excess of 180 (Taxi pack speed limiter) you'll understand the silliness of your statement !
The alloy tail shaft hums, drones, and sounds like it will part company with the diff / box in your car.
I know 'cause I had a Speed Cut Defender fitted to my EF I6 (chip, suspension, brakes, exhaust CAI etc...) and it was ИИИИn hairy at 220 km... the vibration made me BACK off real quick.
A bloody HSV has been engineered for 200 kmh, FPV vehicles also, and to a lesser extent XR Falcons.
To travel at 250 KMH as you refer to is insane on public roads (wether it be NT or anyplace) in any Falcon or boggodore, and I trust that by the time you do get a car, you'll have grown out of your desire to look like a smudge on a roadside gum tree / power poll. If not, please stay away from where I drive.......
