VX Clubsport manfacturers top speed?

[jel]

Does anyone have any official specs or info sheets that quote the manfacturers top speed of a clubsport xv 2002 model.

I have searched the net (inc. hsv website) and am unable to find anything - it's needed to get the car through it's single vehicle approval test here in the UK. Just came over with the clubby in toe.

Any info would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Probably 240kph+

I was just reading the lastest Wheels magazine (Sept), and the VE SSV has an electronically limited speed of 250kph. The figures were 250kph in 5th gear (dont forget its 6 speed!) at 4950rpm. And 6th gear at 3900rpm. I wonder how fast it could get without the limiter! I think HSV will be able to get a new record of " Worlds Fastest Ute" once the VE version arrives! Ive been around 210kph in a GENIII SS Commodore, and changed automatically into 4th at around 205kph! Does anyone know if the VE series HSV is speed limited? ;)

If I have time, I'll take a look through my old car magazines to see if Wheels or Motor had tested the VX HSV top speed.

264kph is the manufacturers top speed for the 255kw vx clubsport.
