i quote 
Anup (the guy who i bought it off) Killed an M3 up the motorway, was still going when the M3 hit its 155mhp limit
so this means the car will do 155 already 
so why not now 
£50 fine english pounds, i will sort out for some time to come with GPS 
we have a bet?

But then the friction of the air over your car causes the engine to burst into flames at 160 right?

When i get my refund from pvd on monday, once the moneys gone into my account im gonna be making a phone call to Wallace Performance for a 80bhp power hike . Then when the guy(actually, his name is Guy!!) is fitting it, I'll have a chat with about a bit of nitrous .

2) my V6 gets a better top speed then yours
£50 per bet

u could have 70000000bhp and the F28 or F20 gearbox will only let u do so much

I would rather put a bet on that YOUR engine will break before you hit 4th gear 
(im not made of money dude, im a student )
So no to your 2 bets 
Just the 1 for me
