also on a flat road with a chip and it wanted to go more


the car was only a couple of months old mind you, i wouldn't even try it now :wink:

8O Astounded.....all I can say really. Actually no! I have driven a sports car at this speed and had to back off, you must have one hell of a balanced fender!!

MickG 8O Actually I would say you must have been in a very unbalanced sports car 8O 8O 8O (maybe a 1940 model)TIC

Even an ugly V6 Magna wagon hire car I had last year cruised extremely comfortably at 180kmh thru the NT stretch.

This is not to say I have seen a 180kmh Defender , but if it is as well behaved as the disco's at 160 8) then they should be pleasureable 8) . . its chassis should handle the same...ish as a Disco.

HILINE ,,What mods get the defender upto 180....because that is impressive,, 8O not unimaginable though apart from the boxier exterior trying to punch its way up to 180kmh,,, I guess it is just a matter of HP at that end of the gear box. But geessss it must be screwing some ponies. :?
