I.e. the T-5R would go even faster if it weren't for the pesky limited/restricted top end, as per the usual beemer/merc practices - how much truth there is in that tho....

Get your RICA and supposedly (cos we've not tried it) sail your way to 170mph

Realistically about 145 mph. Not sure how long it would survive doing that speed for any length of time.

I know a T-5R that sat at 155 for a fair time cruising without much effort on the A11 sat on the ass of a BMW for fun. I won't mention any names though

Sitting behind a BMW at that sort of speed is not the sort of thing I would condone............If I wasn't turning off, I would have gone past him at 160! :haha:
