Nope, not GPS at least. Somewhere pretty close though.

Nibbles' 740 is awesome, is he actually going to make a pod run this year?

I have done around 100 on race track with 360.

Highest must have been around 170 with race prepped quattro on airstrip.

With french crap have hit over 100 few times when overtaking, it goes to 90 without noticing really, overtake lorry or two and push it well and it is above 100. Should not do that, but it can happen almost accidently.

Most people overtake me on motorway, though.
