Anyone ever get above 183 mph in Outrun? That's seems to be the fastest I've ever been able to get my Ferrari to go.

Well, if you're talking MPH, you must have the Enhanced Edition ROMs, and the dipswitches set to MPH... because the original was only in km/h.

The Enhanced Edition used a slightly simplified conversion from km/h to mph. It divides by 8 then multiplies by 5. This is within about 0.5% of the "proper" conversion, so I considered it good enough.

The original max, IIRC, is 293 km/h. Converting (and truncating) gives 183 MPH. So, yes, I think that's the maximum speed in the game.

PS-that's very close to the maximum speed of a Testarossa, as reported on the wikipedia page (180mph): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_Testarossa#Engine

Wow that is great information! You are correct about enhanced edition. My board came in the mail on Saturday and I burned the new roms immediately. Forgot it was all in km/hr.
