Listen to it at the end, sounds like theres a fair few revs left at the end, not at peak power....

I always thought offshoare powerboats (twin hull jobbies) ran a peak speed of about 160-165mph, yet this boats been timed at 195 in choppy water...

Now tahts my kinda boat.

Vid above its cool too (if its the white skyline). Turn up the sound, dribble.

Skylines quality, did you watch the fifth gear where they tried to build the 200mph car and failed but brough in that cossy instead.

The guy took it to 200mph with one hand on the steering wheel and no extra saftey execpt a seat belt.

YEah, 5th gear, hmmmmm, lets put bigger turbos on and not upgrade the cooling and wonder why it keeps going bang, they didn't have a clue, bad car to choose.

The 200mph Cosworth is owned by MAD Rob. 750bhp odd RWD Sapphy cossie (including Nitrous). Best recorded is 207mph so far I think. Recently went bang though and is being rebuilt.

Thats actually Robs friend driving it.
