All AU's are speed limited to 180Kmh. Its a not a nanny its to save the extra long tailshaft from excessive speed which DOES cause it to break with possible fatal consequences. Some XR's and some police pursuit not general duities vehicles excepted most falcons had the limiter removed.

Doing 180 on the Hume (or any public road outside of the NT) is stupid and dangerous.
If you must do it... dont post about it here!
