my 04 acura tsx topped out at 227km/h with a 4 banger in it. drag maxxed the vehicle out.
I could see one of the new high horsepower SUVs being able to reach 240 easily. Also had a 2000 Merc. ML430 drive from sunshine to calgary at 230 most of the way. The newer cars are only getting faster or more efficient with time so it is possible.
The frenchie with the ticket was probably on a wide open road, late at night and wanted to test his top end. He was solo and sober, no harm done except for if the coppers are around.
