But the GTR is speed limited to 180km/h aswell.

Oops my bad, of course they are. I remember a mate being chased down by a semi in his 33 GTR and starting to poop himself because he was on the limiter and the semi was on his bumper :laugh:

most new cars are speed limited towards the aero and handling issue. (safety wise, i dont think its very safe doing speeds past 200kmph road or track) at high speed u have such a high drag force which creates lift ,thus resulting , as most of us here experience one time or another where it feel's like we have no steering :P

p.s most of our tyres are actually speed rated with either V or W meaning they are rated to speed up to 240km/h or 270km/h receptively. i wouldnt want to test it though.

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
