[QUOTE=flappist]Well you could have tried it in a Model T, just because there is no limit does not mean it is safe to drive above the capability of the car.
The first time I drove in NT was in a rental commodore many many years ago.
My mission was to go out to the open zone (50km south of Darwin) and do 200 and I held it flat for what seemed like hours but it just would not go above 190 and was quite scary. I drove back at 130 which was much more sensible.
Other cars I have driven there WERE designed to go fast and I drove them accordingly.[/QUOTE
Was it a 3.3L VK flappist.
