No,no ....the third gear thing was just a joke, but the topspeed of 166,875mph was not a joke, but it was on the 4:th gear.

Yesterday I tried 3:rd gear topspeed (I have FINALLY put my summer tires on) , and I saw between 6750-6850 RPM and 215-225 km/h on the speedo (it's HARD to tell exactly )

Then when the 4:th kicks in... it feels like the car is literally HIT BY A TRAIN from behind
