Good, because you're not making any sense at all. I'm done as well.

Solid responses all! Had a strange prompt to re-activate my account which prevented me from posting,

The transmission is correct but the aerodynamics model isn't so it may look like there's unused potential in some cars using stock trans. in GT6 while in reality the car should hit a wall of air and stop accelerating before hitting the limiter.

Best explanation, thanks!

Forgot the car was a MK-1, the 1966 threw me off. Need to read Go Like Hell again I guess lol.

Why oh why great overlord Kaz hath you fraught such a restriction on such an amazing classic race car?

An untuneable stock transmission setting keeps it from getting anywhere near it's real life 210 MPH top speed on the Mulsanne Straight or the Daytona High Banks.

Why Kaz... just why?

Why *guy who wrote the handling data for this car... just why?

Does it top out naturally or bounce off the limiter?

The road cars top speed was just over 165mph I think so not sure what the issue is here.

Just to add some further info, here is a small article on the GT40 including specifications of the road and race variants at the bottom.
