I was walking to the old man last night, and he said the Stenhouse A9X went through the flying 200 metres at an average of 164mph, topping out at 172mph through the end of the speed trap.
That correlates with prn 31's recollection - so I believe him!
As far as I'm concerned, fighting a road going A9X at 270kmh plus would have taken a mountain more brave pills than a million dollar race prepped V8 Supercar at 302kmh!
