The fastest spot on the V8s calendar is easily the Conrod Straight, by 15-20km/h. Heck, Mountain Straight can't be a whole lot shorter than the back straight at Pukekohe.
Some other long straights in V8 Supercars (in no particular order):
1. Hidden Valley (Front Straight)
2. Surfers Paradise (Front Stretch)
3. Symmons Plains (Back Stretch)
4. Eastern Creek (Front Straight)
5. Townsville (Front Stretch)
6. Philip Island (Gardner Straight)
7. Abu Dhabi (Back Stretch(es))
8. Sandown Park (Front and Back Stretches)
9. Austin (Back Stretch)*
Almost all of these are 900m or more in length, and all see speeds of 265-285km/h.
