I remeber seeing the video on that, and as far as I know, it wasn't a stock ITR. I could be wrong, but non the less, thats pretty quick!

I wish I got a picture of my car at 7000rpm and 295km/h. It's tough taking pictures at that speed =).

I did that at a rallycross in the start box. I had the speedo up to about 60kph in first gear before the studs finally grabbed. Nice big fat patch of ice to sit on right at the start line. You know its slick when an all wheel drive car with studded snow tires has trouble getting moving.

My speedo on stock 16" tires shows way too high on the 944. 200km/h on the speedo, 188km/h on the road. On larger 18" wheels, 200km/h on the speedo is 201km/h on the road. I'm assuming that my calibrated Blitz Power Meter is accurate of course.

I don't think it matters. Remember that road and track top speed test a few years back with the McLaren F1? It's Speedo read 231mph when it really was only going 205 I think. I might be off with the numbers a little but you get the point.

High speed drag can do interesting things to your speedo readings.

Your speedo is driven off your gearbox generally. This is why putting different tires on your car messes up your speedo reading. High speed drag does the same thing. Your car is trying to go 210 but because of the force of the airstream its only actually doing 200, and so on.

Ya it's run off your gearbox thats true but if your actual speed is 210 but your speedometer is reading 230 that is not because of drag. Your tires won't turn at 230 with your car only going 210 thats a physical impossibility in this context.
