As that appears to be a residential area, would it not have a 30mph speed limit?

Wow that’s clever in a built up area but to answer your question I know one went around a racetrack with the limiter temporarily removed and it hit 178 mph. It was a supercharged one

Nope, would not want you regretting asking the question.

If you are thinking of buying its more the sound and torque. Heavy old bus so may struggle with more modern cars. Some sound bites below:

Here you are Jason, in the link above is a 5 star review of your motor from Honest John. Be happy with that, you have nothing to prove to anyone
