Question Does anyone know?

I have a classic WRX import. It is chipped and de-limited but it is still running in KMH although I have changed the dials to Lockwood white which are in MPH! Basically, when my clock reads 180MPH know I amreally doing 180KMH.

Anyway, I was driving last night on a private road and I thought I would see what it does now I havn't got a clue what speed I was doing but the question is: Does anyone know what sort of speed does the wind whistle really loud through a closed window?

Would all depend on how worn the window rubbers are, last time I was on the track Mine whistle from around 140mph onwards

Thanks for that, but on the private road there isn't a problem!
