[QUOTE="InitialD, post: 334223, member: 4678"] [CENTER][TABLE][TR][TD] Initial, No the M24 R3 cannot reach 250km/h. Anyone who claims that must be on some kinda drugs. In fact in any Proton, and most Jap Cars for that matter, if the speedo is showing 200+Km/h, speedo inaccuracy accounts for 15-20km/h.
