apparently theyre good for 150mph on the f20 box if you've got a long enough road.
Ive had an indicated 142mph with about 2/300 revs to go. Im not 100% sure on the revs as it was a quick glance while i was trying to concentrate on the road.

yes it would do 150, but not on a std rev limit.
in real genuine speed, i dont think its possible to hit 140 on the std rev limit, think its 137mph

id believe that to be a 150mph genuine speed aswell to be honest at 8500. i can get over 145 at 8000rpm
