I have no expertise in this matter at all, but I wouldn't have thought that the diff ratio and rev limit would make this 296k's limit set like some unbreakable wall. A 1% expansion in tyre diameter possibly caused by centrifugal force and heat would put the car over 300, and a 1% error in the speedgun would see the car at 299.96k's (approximately, of course). I can think of a few other variables as well. Maybe I'm off track, and 296 is absolute top whack, no matter what.
