was thinking earlier when fitting my new V8 badge..

Has anyone ever had the P38 up to it's listed Top speed?

My book says the 4.6 thor has a " top speed " of 125mph..

I wonder..

LRO says 118mph (https://www.lro.com/reviews/land-rover-range-rover-p38-4x4-review). I've seen 169kph on the sat nav and 105 mph on the speedo (so my ex-plod calibrated speedo is still accurate) on a downhill through Germany. Bottled it as soon as I saw how quickly I was going even though I wasn't doing as much as some of the cars overtaking me.

Back when I lived in Germany (late 90s) we reckoned you needed to be doing at least 120mph to be in the outside lane of an autobahn and even then I'd constantly check the mirror.
In a P38 you'll be in slow lane hell, waiting for gaps to get past the wagons moving at 99.9999 kph.

My 4.6 Gems quite easily does 160kmh, and it feels good.
