Originally posted by TheGSRGuy: I hit 131 or so at redline in 4th gear in my GS-R. I've seen pictures of stock Type Rs going over 165. I could probably do a buck-fifty. I'll be sure not to pull any u-turns though.
Type R will NOT hit 165 actual speed stock..not even close. Its power and drag, not power and weight. 195 HP is not going faster than the 140ish MPH clocked by C&D unless its downhill. GSR = 134 MPH. What the speedo says...is probably wrong.
