Off the clock on a private road 160+mph and climbing (well i was nearly bouncing off the red line!) in an MY00 PPP'd scoob with Scoobymania downpipe

ian/555

Had about 145 mph three up, in my then Sti VI type R on the way to the Ring, was then left in the wake of an E class AMG Estate as it flew by, making me look like I was in reverse!
I dont think any of the Germans where doing less than 120mph on that strecth of road.

Had an indicated 175mph in my previous 4 door STI IV which taking into account the speedo being out 10% would make it 157.5 mph.

Managed an indicated 148mph in MY97 uk turbo whilst having a little drive with a cavalier turbo, his speedo indicated just under 160mph! My scooby is standard apart from full scorpion exhaust.

pele

Indicated 140mph in standard MY98, still pulling but ran out of road.

Katana

Mach 1.0 while chasing the Thrust SS2 on the Nevada desert. The pilot forgot to put his lights on so I chased after him to warn him...

NM

I 'wasnt' on the M45 going up a slight incline when I had to take my foot off the go pedal at an indicated 145MPH. I was running out of road and had to apply the brake very hard as I caught up with a slower car doing 70MPH. I Couldnt overtake him as my m8 on his 9R was coming up faster on the outside of me at about 160MPH . It was hit the newly fitted 4 pots or hit my m8 on his bike, good job the brakes were up to it.

MY98 induction kit and Magnex Back box. No lights or AC but stereo was pumping

125 on the speedo at Donington Park, but then had to brake for the Goddards chicane. Standard car (MY00), standard brakes.

longun

Indicated 136mph in me Pug on the rev limiter in fifth.... probally about 126mph which should be about right as top speed is suppost to be 126mph... This was on an Airfield somewhere

Mr Wood

I did 155mph in a mates P1!

Was only a relatively short straight too!

LG John

Indicated 140mph at limiter in 5th and SVX3.3 was ahead doing a similar road speed at an indicated 150mph! Fast for a 1.6 huh!

Maz-old

A rather pathetic 135mph (obviously in Germany), but there was a corner coming really fast. That was in a completely standard UK Turbo at about 5,000 revs with 69,000 miles on the clock. I was looking at the rev counter and then p****d my pants as I saw the corner coming up a LOT closer than the last time I looked. I'd never driven anything more powerful than a 1984 1.6 Escort before that and had had the scoob for only three weeks, so I was pleased...

M.

Yet to take my new one anywhere near that.

NotoriousREV

Indicated 120mph on the day I picked my Scoob up, overboost stopped play

BruceWarne

250+ kph on the clock...slight downhill...

zilch

140mph on the E3 heading towards venlo from Dusseldorf and still pulling with some spare Revs, when some idiot pulls out ahead (must have been doing the same in KMs) and forces a brake meltdown. In my standard 98 UK turbo at the time with nothing added. It was on a sunday, so i should of expected it

Toerag

Indicated 130mph ~5500rpm, but had to back off instantly to avoid someone pulling out ahead. MY02 Forester S-turbo.

^Qwerty^

Indication of just under 150mph on Elvington runway. No idea what the true speed was, as I was just playing

beefola

On the way back from Le Mans last year we caned it back along the payez and the cars ran out of puff at the following speeds (ish):

Integra Type-R (owned by ADP) - 140ish
MY2001 WRX (ADP's new motor) - 149
Honda S2000 - 156
TVR Tuscan - 176 (had to brake for a corner)

Crazy fun. Everyone should do it. Four cars all at the tolls at the same time, burn away as the gates lift, right up to V-Max. Bloody marvellous. Plus the Tuscan had an F355, 3 times the price!

catflap

155 m6 (my private section LOL) with loads of grunt left

Lizzywizz

Speedo read 160mph but have since calculated it reads about 10% high so minus 16 = 144mph (STi4 with full decat exhaust)

(155mph in my M3 though and that was accurate!! )

Lizzy

AliWrx

I had my P1 very off the clock, on my own private section of the M4. Bloody thing was still accelerating like a nutter. Only slowed because a had a National Express bus up my **** flashing his lights!

ali

apkadb

150mph WRX Sti 7. Moulton High Street.

Had to stop for the Morris Dancers (was on May bank Holiday). Could have gone a bit faster too.

5 Type R

My mate didn't do over 190mph (speedo reading) in his new R33 HKS Tuned skyline last week, before he bottled it.

He also didn't keep side by side with a tuned R1 from 40-170mph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LETsBanzai

in the uk on a testing ground I managed managed 156mph, but went to germany last yr and got it to top 167 mph....but then again i dont own a scooby...but vauxhalls finest, a calibra turbo

Im suprised tha some of your guys are saying you`ve 160+ I though all imprezza were short ratiod, amazing 0-60 but run out of puff at about 138 mph? what is the 1000rpm/5th?

skiddusmarkus

430 km/h on the test track in my Pike's Peak Escudo(1800ish bhp).

Lets,
Most scoobs are fairly short ratio'd (type RA and Type R) but the others will stretch their legs a little more, esp the uk turbos which have longer ratios, if not the longest (along with the P1) and the STi7's (which are limited to 155mph) but taking that into account they will with the right breathing modifications pull very strongly to the redline

NotoriousREV

Actually my Clio 1.6Si sails off the clock in second gear very easily, but then it also reckons on doing 130mph while stationary.

ustolemyname??stevieturbo

And most vauxhalls do tend to have "optimistic speedos" After all, dont Nova Sr's do 140mph??? and SRI cavaliers do near 150mph... Or so their owner seem to believe. I recall a few years ago, 3 friends racing ( not on the motorway of course ) 309 GTI, Hyunai coupe, and cavalier SRI. The peugot and hyundai were very close, indicating about 120mph maybe a little more. Strange how we easily passed the cavalier despite it reading 140mph!!!!!!!!
And as for a 1.6 N/A saxo doing over 130mph.....no comment. Of course, I DO have a mini which will pull close to 140mph. 20mph ( maybe a little less )/1000rpm approx in 4th using 3.1:1 final drive + 13" wheels. It will pull 7500rpm down a slight hill, or easily pull 7000rpm on a flat in 4th. Full trim road car/road tyres has run 14.5 secs @ 102mph at Santapod a few years back. Driven to and from the event all the way from N Ireland. Would do better if I could get grip. Spins the wheels til about 75/80 mph, and crossing the line still in 3rd. Obviously its turbocharged by me
It will also give an sti a very hard time til about 130mph. It just doesnt handle as well . Slow sti's/wrx's etc. get beaten

PICKLE

Indicated 162mph in my P1. Was a little bit left, as it wasn't near the redline, but bottled it cos it was on a 'B' road. Quick enough for me thankyou.

Harry Potter

155MPH for 40 mins on the way down to Catalunia Rally with Pete Croney and gang. Ambient temps 4-6^C time 2-4 am.

Passed 2 cars in the 112.7 miles before I ran out of fuel (60L).

Standard ECU Scoobysport down mid and back box (their good products).

Leda C also fitted not sure if that affected the handling as at 155 the 22B was far more stable than the girlfriends micra at 70!

Both my 22b and Pete's car went on to at least another 20K of problem free motoring.

Therefore in cold conditons and high octane fuel i.e. 98Ron + 1 can of Proboost, there is no engine problem.

My engine failed after a Powr Engineering rechip and 600 miles.
Fastest I had out of that was 120MPH.

BigNige

well mines a errm 163mph in esscy cossie with a GPS sat location jobby that you can buy from decent camping shops that has peak speed recall on it takes 3secs to update so you have to hold it there and 144mph confirmed in same car by her majestys finest police officers on the m1 at 3am
often see 160 on the clock though and thats a fully calibrated speedo as well
