I met a friend today who has worked with a car dealer. He told me that they used to transfer vehicles from one showroom to another.(eg. calicut to trivandrum and vice versa.400 odd kms).

Whenever they did it , they used to cross 140 km/hour. And it was on a new vehicle( pre dlivery). I asked the guy did it cause some damage to the engine, he replied that it actually made engine more smoth snd silent. And also that such vehicles used to give better mileage than soft handled vehicles with owners. The average speed was above 85km/hr they covered 400 kms within 4 hrs.
