I've recently had a chance to take the LC above the stock limit with a tune. I've had 303kph (188mph) indicated on the dash, and will need to confirm with GPS. Might take a video when I have time.
That is moving along down the road for sure. How stable and planted to the ground does it feel at that velocity?
It was 5:30 am on a lovely straight stretch near Tucomcari, NM. My LC cried out to be set free from the bounds of civility and the law. I was all a-tremble as I pressed down on the exhilarator, wondering what kind of thrilling madness had overtaken me, and at the same time gasping with curiosity at the potential that lay beneath my right foot. Surging forward with animal strength and the raging roar of an ancient pachyderm the LC speedometer raced in a clockwise direction until it settled at 73 mph and an astonishing 1500 rpm, while the fuel economy indicator plummeted to 31.7 mpg! This brilliant car was not the least unsettled by this excursion to velocities beyond human understanding, even though it was devoid of a rear spoiler and side skirts. What a car! What a thrill! If we never approach this velocity again, this one adventure into the unknown and unknowable will have to suffice.
I believe you ought to find a publisher, by the way. Just returned from my 1000 mile inspection today. I believe I hit 85'ish after break-in once or twice. My sugar-plumb fairies call me to the edge though. Never floored-it to date in any mode, but those little spirits dance and sing to me about one day experiencing S+ and the hammer from 30-40mph.

Starting Wednesday, the Loring Timing Association puts on a speed meet on an old abandoned AF runway near Limestone, Maine. The runway is 14,000 feet long; clocks are at 1 mile, 1.5 miles, and 2 km.
So well see exactly how fast the 2018 LC can go. Let me rephrase that: well see how fast MY LC can go.
