I have had the DS car to 115mph, with the GPS in the car. 97mph on Bonneville Salt Flats. With a back up engine. To go the 115. I had a long run at it. But ran out of straight stretch. I know there are some Metros out there that have gone faster than this. One is our friend from SLC. He has a 1.0L two stroke engine in his. He ran 135+ in 2011 on the salt

Hi Murf,

Yes you are correct, I did 135 mph and some change, it was awesome!

The car did not wonder, or anything like that, I was surprised.

I have since sold the triple engine and now am going to a 900 turbo'd which will be producing around 285 HP, we hope to see around 160 MPH for 2013,

Hope everyone has a happy thanks giving!
