I recently watched the movie "The Worlds Fastest Indian" and it got me thinking what is the highest speed achieved from an A series.
My 1200 sedan with a 120Y A12 and three speed auto tops out at 150kmph, I am looking forward to see what it will do with the new a15 in it.
post up your experiences chaps!

thats pretty good is that with an A15 A14 or A12? and what do you mean that something might break "hopefully"

Mine goes off the clock and heading back to zero in third ,with two more gears to go.

If it was flat out in fifth I dont think I would want to be in it.

7000rpm with a 60a 5 speed and the diff out of a 1000 wagon so I dont know what the actual speed would be as the speedo would be out to some degree.

I must add that I have driven it as fast as I dare down the straight at Oran park and been past by SR powered 1600s as if I was parked.

the 1000 diff is still a H145 yeah? even though the speedo could be out I still think it's a great result, is the A series the convertible in your avartar?
